@hermitgirl I obsessively look through my screenshots because I love them so much, LOL. Here are some things I do that make sorting through them more manageable.
After I shut the game, I place the screenshots I took into folders by event. Maybe not every time I play, but often. That way, it's not so overwhelming. I also keep the main folder close to the screenshots folder so I don't have to go through a whole process of switching drives or anything. Then I'll pick a folder where I know I'm done adding photos for that event, and I'll pick which ones I want to use on my blog and rename them. Since the original name starts with a number, this kicks all of my usable pics to the end and lumps them together, so they're easy to find. Then when I'm blogging about that particular thing later, I can easily find the few pictures that I need for that part of the story.
Also, since I tell my story by generation, once I'm done with a generation, I make a folder, say called something like "G1" and place all of the folders in there from generation 1 and then start the process over again so that things don't get too cluttered.
