My Photography Workflow

Built on windows using powershell, exiftool, XnConvert, FreeFileSync, Faststone Image Viewer, DigiKam, Lightroom, Nikon transfer, Microsoft import photos and videos from mobile

Because organyzing photos and videos from diffrent sources (multiple cameras and mobile phones) for those who like taking many photos is complicated, I have prepared this workflow to take advantage of diffrent softwares and end up with an clen library.

First consider the below folder structur for storing the files
