The problem I found was not the software but the filing protocol. What I
did was to take Eaton's Essentials of Immediate Care and the BNF
chapters as folder titles. The pictures and scanned articles are then
filed under those categories. If they fall in to two headings then a
copy to each. That way you always have a reference system that leads you
to the photos you forgot you had.

I love ACDSee (not the Highway to Hell type ;-)
Just a browser for images really but excellent for finding images and
sorting them out on your hard disk. It has a Windoze Explorer type
interface so you browse folders the same way but it displays any images
in the right pane.
I have had 2 free copies - one from Future Shop (here in Canada) and the
other in the UK but I don't remember the source. I think it is sold for
very little money via a website so even if you have to pay for it it is
probably well worth while.
