can't believe I'm still attached plunking out this little
ditty which will probably be rather boring.
My photo program has been on overload for some
time and I knew I had to get pictures off. So today
was the day! And, it has taken me ALL afternoon
and I'm still not where I'd like to be. But, have a couple
of years on cd's and backed up on my external hard
drive. Also have hard copies in photo albums.
Now I think I will delete the pictures from my computer.
I really need a new program, but everything I've read
about the latest program my computer uses doesn't sound
all that great. Will have to see if there is anything on the
internet I can use. Sad to say Picassa won't work for me.
The problem with having a digital camera is that I take
way too many pictures. When I used to use film, I was
much more careful in what I took a photo of. Having
only 36 pictures on a roll caused me to be selective.
Now I just snap away thinking I can delete whatever
doesn't turn out. But, do I do that? No, I just snap to
my hearts content and download everything on the
computer. No wonder it took all afternoon to go through
thousands of pictures!
Will I be more selective in my picture taking in the future?
Probably not. It's just too much fun snapping away.
However, I will be a little more prudent in editing, burning
cd's and backing up what I really want to keep. At least
that's what I'm telling myself tonight.
Now let's turn this computer off and give my eyes and
fingers a rest.

Hi Nola!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, can I ever relate!!! I am so guilty of taking too many pictures, downloading them, and then wishing that I would have been more selective or used the delete button on my camera! Do they even make film anymore ,0)
let us know if you find a good program that works, Picassa was not the program for me either. I love cropping and editing my pictures, so I would love to find an easy program with lots of options! Good luck!
Hugs,

HI Nola---I know what you mean---I love to take pictures too---I do edit mine each day after I download them---but I did not get around very often and then delete the ones I have used---I am trying to be better about doing it once a month--but we all know how fast once a month comes around!!!!
ReplyDeleteSee ya soon--Hugs, Di
I'm another! And, I am bad about culling them, too, although my intentions are always good! My attention span is only so long, so when I say I'm going to work with my pictures, I don't accomplish much! ~karen
