Undated Photos Part 1: The Unseen Menace
Undated Photos are a menace! There have been Undated photos in every digital collection I have ever organized.
If you have never identified and separated out Undated photos in your clients’ collections, you probably don’t realize how abundant they are. They are difficult to identify using applications commonly used by professional photo organizers. They are difficult to separate out while preserving folder names that may include dates or date clues. It is difficult to find dated versions of Undated photos with many duplicate removal applications. If not found, they will be displayed by the Date Created or Date Modified in the client’s organized collection.
