Guys,
Here are a few questions that some of you may be able to assist with. Especially Bam, I guess.
I've got way too many pics, and I'm going to move them to a single HD soon. Perhaps over time I'll finish sorting them into the different categories (GG / TS, Post-op/pre-op, Asian/white, etc. okay, so about 90% are asian/post-op, and about 10% are Asian/GG, and 0.1% are white/post-op, and 0.0000001% are anything else).
Anyway, since I'll have a whole HD full of my naughty pics, I want to encrypt it, but in a way that doesn't slow down access to the pics and videos. What can you guys recommend?
Are there photo organizing tools you'd also recommend? I've tried Picasa, but that seemed inadequate. I need better and faster ways to classify hundreds or thousands of pictures. I'm probably near 50k pics, or more. That's just the, ahem, entertainment stuff. Adding in a few others, I wouldn't be surprised if I have over 100k. At least, size-wise, I wouldn't be surprised if I have over 20 GB of pics, and perhaps 30GB more of videos.
Randyman, if you're keeping track - that could mean about 10 GB or more of post-op pics.
They tend to be smaller than GG pics, because many GG pics are very high resolution. It's not that the post-op pics are smaller because they're lacking in any way. 
Another damned hard thing is that now I've lost track of who's post-op and who's GG. 99.9% of the time I can recall which is which, but every so often I make a mistake. I'd love it if there are tools that can recognize similar photos. Sometimes I have duplicates, but the only difference is the resolution of the photo. If it was a complete byte-by-byte duplicate, then I could use other tools, but are there some you guys can recommend that can perform some basic image analysis & find similar photos? Sometimes these things are also clustered by date or filename, which could help.
Anyway, supposing you were going to organize 100k+ photos and videos, where would you start? And how would you make sure they're safe from others who might use that HD?
Thanks!
