A photographing processing method based on a mobile terminal comprises the steps of: providing an option on the mobile terminal for setting a picture classification beforehand and providing an option for adding a classification label; receiving, by using the option for setting the picture classification, an operational instruction from a user in a photographing interface for selecting a certain classification as a currently photographing classification; and automatically appending, when a certain classification is selected as the currently photographing classification, corresponding picture information to a photographed picture after photographing the picture, and saving the photographed picture in a corresponding directory.
