Hi Trav.

First, have you had a career change - I thought you used to be a video editor or something? Congratulations if you have, though. I think having a career in photography would be great.

Next, I couldn't help but think whilst I read your post - and echo what others have said - this can all be done with Aperture or Lightroom. I personally use Aperture and can vouch that it would indeed improve your workflow.

Versions above 1.5 will let you store your files how you want - either within the "magic box" of the Aperture library or as referenced files, according to your own folder structure.

It will also automatically save web versions for you. Look at some plug-ins too, depending on where you publish your photos online.

Give it another shot. Once you learn it I'm positive you won't go back to how you were used to working.
