| Aug 20, 2014 at 4:32 | comment | added | B Shaw | I keep everything. I preview them, identify and rate the top few ~ usually about 10% of the set. I keep them all together because I've titled my folder with a date and either event or location, (e.g. 2014_08_19 Anytown). The rating lets me work on just the few that I thought were keepers. - Then, I make a back up copy of everything, all at once. I used to make two copies with second for offsite storage, but I've fallen out of the habit. So, I have multiple copies of my images, 90% of which I will never touch again. Nonetheless, I have my reasons to do that. | |

| Aug 19, 2014 at 7:03 | comment | added | Hugo | These sort of questions are generally not well received on photo.SE. Look at photo.stackexchange.com/help/dont-ask and you'll find that it tells us to avoid questions where every answer is equally valid: “What’s your favorite ______?” and your answer is provided along with the question, and you expect more answers: “I use ______ for ______, what do you use?”- It can be rephrased as a question about pros and cons about saving all photos, but that has already been covered here i think: photo.stackexchange.com/questions/7130/…. | |

| Aug 19, 2014 at 4:43 | comment | added | user4894 | I do. It's a terrible habit. But disc storage is cheap these days so I indulge. It would be better to ruthlessly cull. Or at least delete the obvious losers. But you never know when you may see an interesting crop inside a seemingly mediocre photo. I can never get rid of photos. | |
