A script for importing photos from an SD card to a local directory

import_photos.sh

#!/bin/bash
#
# This script is used to copy images files from a connected volume to a local 
# directory.
#
# - Creates a folder with today's date in $PHOTO_DIR
# - Moves RAW files into the root $PHOTO_DIR
# - Creates a folder for JPEG images
# - Creates a folder for edits/exports
# - Creates a README file

# Example folder layout:
#
# /Users/bdw/Pictures/20180722/
# ├── DSCF0266.RAF
# ├── DSCF0267.RAF
# ├── DSCF0268.RAF
# ├── README.md
# ├── _edits
# └── _jpeg
#     ├── DSCF0266.JPG
#     ├── DSCF0267.JPG
#     ├── DSCF0268.JPG
