You've got the image an art director wants but you can't lay your hands on the original source. Everything is wanted yesterday in the publishing world. A missed deadline will cost you everytime! Develope a filing system from the very first frame you shoot and stick to it. Like housekeeping a constant maintanace is less taxing then trying to deal with it all at once. If your shooting digital, backup, backup, backup. Memory cards and hard drives do not last forever. They malfunction or get misplaced on a regular basis. Time dating along with a ledger or log works best for me. Keep your system simple so that an assistant or spouse can dig up an image in the event that your on the road when oppurtunity knocks.
