Prepare archive copy of files
Make copy of files (including Deleted folder) in a separate folder "Photo Originals". When there is 650mb of image files I cut 2 CD's for archiving. I have been using WhereIsit? to store a catalogue of these files, but I have just got iMatch and expect it to replace this function especially when CRW becomes a supported format.

A good reference for further discussion of workflow for the D30 can be found on Don Cohen's site. There is a comprehensive workflow for editing images in Photoshop on The Luminous Landscape website.
