    Organizing Photos - Filing in Albums or Tagging?

    I would like to be better at organizing my photos. I am constantly doing BOTH putting photos in albums and also tagging each picture. But it feels like I am doing double work. So what is easier......Filing all photos in albums....OR.....Tagging every photo and organizing that way?
