This German proverb means: “Order is non-negotiable”. I’ve use it because Germans are considered to be the main experts in this kind of thing. A phrase not very in accord with modern reality, but that’s another story. At the core this rule is absolutely right. With digital cameras you are able to produce much more photos than with film, and it means you’re going to be looking for particular shots in a huge collection, which is no trivial matter.
The growth of digital photography to a wide community of amateurs has brought about the development of a new class of software: image managers. These programs look like a hybrid of file manager, database engine and image viewer/editor. Some programs like Adobe Photoshop have more editing functions, other like XNview - have more for file management, but all three components are present.
