I'm a realtor, and a big part of my job is determining home values. So I'm taking pictures 3-4 days a week. Most get loaded onto a seperate file for each address, then the best are sent via the internet to the verious companies that are paying me to take them, normally 2-5 pics for each job. These are sent along with my opinion of the homes value. They are ether sent as an email attachment, or via i-pix.
Putting the pictures on Website

Okay I consider myself rather lazy 
I still shoot my pictures on film because I do not see the same clarity with digital cameras. Keep in mind that I make a living in part from pro photography of people and often places. I can create photo albums and send a link (really lazy) to whoever I want. Some albums are for the public and some are for particular persons and a lot for my family. Since I live in western Canada and my family are in the eastern part of the country it is fast. I have a rather savy family who take the ones they enjoy and print them on glossy paper and do whatever they want. It is also a fun way to share lots (thousands of pictures) with people everywhere. My ego is enjoying the comments and I also get people to put a pin on a world map. It is now full of pins from countries and that to me is what photography is, fun to take and fun to share. I do include a slideshow for the family to download sometimes with voice over. Gosh, such an ego, but hey, I consider my photography alright. Oh I have been doing photography for over 30 years.
What do you do most with your digital photos?

I share with friends and relatives via email. When I get enough to fill up a CD I burn them. Soon will be burning DVDs. I also burn the photos that I have been sent. It's the best way I know to archive photos. On the rare occasion that I want one printed, I use Walmart. I, so far, have only printed as the result of a request. I know I have saved Hundreds of dollars this way!
Use an online host for others to view
by rtweedle - 11/18/05 2:07 PM In reply to: What do you do most with your digital photos? by Marc Bennett
I use Sony Imagestation and Snapfish for the photos I would like others to see. I also email particular photos to the subjects.
I don't use digital cameras.

I still use my old Leica SLR camera with some great lens. Great quality.
I develop them (if you can call it that)
by hermes_vb - 11/18/05 4:04 PM In reply to: What do you do most with your digital photos? by Marc Bennett
After I review and edit them in PS Elements, I burn them to CD/DVD and take them to the nearest Walgreens/Walmart photo department. I have them developed in Kodak/Fuji photo paper and include a photo CD in the order in case I want to make some copies of them. Finally, I keep the original files in my External HD in case I decide to do some extra editing in the future. Can't complain. It only costs me 19-25 cents per photo and I only print the worthy ones.
what to do with photographic items

Burn them to DVDs with Nero Vision Express
by SHERRALEE - 11/19/05 1:17 AM In reply to: What do you do most with your digital photos? by Marc Bennett
I use Nero Vision Express and use random transisions and put appropiate music that goes with certain sections of photos
I have put two different weddings on with music and gave them to the two couples they were mother and daughter and were over the moon with them
I have also done the same with my grandaughters pictures from her school prom night and put music and I did the start with my voice message to her and she as now stored it in her box of memories
I have also put all holiday photos on where I went with my sister and gave this to her and she now shows them to her friends
Its great to be able to do this on to DVDs and then can be played back it make gret viewng with family and friends and no pictures can be damaged when looking at them

What I do with my photos
by mininchico - 11/19/05 1:09 PM In reply to: What do you do most with your digital photos? by Marc Bennett
I use Flickr as my web photo host as I have Yahoo! mail beta and it works well. I also have a photostream on my Yahoo! 360 blog page for my family and friends to see. My 16 year old daughter uses Photoshop 7 to edit her photo collection. She is a great photographer!
"Other"
by Jan Turner - 11/20/05 6:06 PM In reply to: What do you do most with your digital photos? by Marc Bennett
I am a family historian and collect all of the photos that I can from my family. In addition, I take as many digital pictures as possible whenever I see any members of the family.
I save all of these photos to my computer in folders named for the various family blood lines, and share them with the other members of the family through CD's. By sennding out new CD's every couple of years to all of the various relatives, we update each other about how we look, how our kids and grandkids look.
Mostly arrange by content and date in Photo Folders
by Ceebuck - 11/20/05 7:15 PM In reply to: What do you do most with your digital photos? by Marc Bennett
I tend to feed lots of them via email to friends and relatives. Then I have a website at cbuck-country where I set them up in a story-type format whenever I can to give them purpose. I'm nearly ready to begin uploading my 2005 photos now.
Pretty much the same thing
by cmartin - 11/22/05 1:27 PM In reply to: Mostly arrange by content and date in Photo Folders by CeebuckI too save and arrange them on the hard disk, sending them via mail to friends and family. My mom, however, does not believe pictures are pictures if they are not printed, so she has me print some for her

by YankeeZ - 11/21/05 1:05 PM In reply to: The best slideshow program by DaphI am the family record keeper of sorts, so I have scanned in all family photos going back several generations, including tin types. I am working on an illustrated family tree, much more interesting with photos.
Most current pictures have been put up on my family web site, where members of my family, from Calif. to NY to Fla. can see them, often within an hours after the event.
When selling items online, I send the photos to server space and then reference them from the printer ad, or by using HTML in the online ad.
I also used digital pics to document the rebuilding of a vintage motorcycle, and these pictures became the start of a web site that is now a world-wide resource for this brand of motorcycle.
When I want to print photos, I wire then to Wal-Mart and have them printed there, to be picked up an hour later.
To make movies, which use both video as well as still images, I use Pinnacle Studio 9. I haven't found any other program as intuitive as Studio, and use it even though I have had problems with earlier releases.
