What is the first thing you do with new digital photos?
by Marc Bennett - 5/15/06 4:11 PM
You've just come back from a huge family reunion where you took a ton of digital photos. The first opportunity you have, you do this with the photos:
Upload them to an online sharing service and invite my family to see them (which service?)
Attach them to an e-mail message and send them out (wouldn't this be limited?)
Publish them on my Web site or blog
Burn them onto CDs/DVDs and mail out copies (as files or a slide show?)
I never get around to sharing them (why not?)

You download them to your hard driv......

So that you have a copy to rationally think about which ones are boring, and stupid, and which ones you want to share with your reletives let alone online.
I think everyone WOULD download to hard drive
by Tozzie - 5/16/06 1:30 AM In reply to: You download them to your hard driv...... by lakephillipDownloading to the hard drive and sorting out the rubbish and editing them, I think, would be the first thing anyone would do with their digital photos and then, after that, save them to disc to make sure you've got them saved and "in the raw" so to speak. Then, for me, the first thing after that is to download them to a photosharing site so I can email the link to family and friends. I use Fotopic.net because I think it's a great, free site (you can pay to go "pro" if you want to and that is great value too). I do have to edit my photos first so that there are no spaces in the name of the files to be able to upload them but uploading after that is simple... it can take a long time though if your photo sizes are big... resizing comes into the editing part for me. Obviously not everyone has a computer to be able to look but most folks these days have a DVD player so I do make slideshow discs for anyone I think would be interested.
Workflow
by lzclzhs - 5/16/06 6:58 AM In reply to: You download them to your hard driv...... by lakephillipThe workflow I learned and used is:
1. Immediately download the images to the hard drive.
2. Next burn two copies of the images to CDs. Store the CDs in separate locations.
3. Do your editing on the images. Make an album or a slide show.
4. Burn two copies of the editted images, album, or slide show and again store separately.
Excellent workflow, should have been one of the choices.
by atucci - 5/16/06 8:01 AM In reply to: Workflow by lzclzhsI noticed that "Other" had the lowest percent of responses. The first thing anyone should do is to load the images into one's hard drive in order to edit, and, then, archive. Your plan is perfect!

by HawaiiMuskrat - 5/28/06 9:27 AM In reply to: You download them to your hard driv...... by lakephillipRight! Me too, then I perform several hours worth of post processing duties to make the photos look great before sharing them via Yahoo Photo.
Of course later I make backup copies and archive them.
I make slide shows

I make slideshows originally with slide show maker but now I use a freeware program slide show movie maker. I can add music, voice over and save as an avi file which I then convert to DVD format. Then I mail those out.

How do add music to your slide shows? Do you use a particular program?? I'd be interested in hearing.
Also, when you change the format of a picture do you simply re-type the file extension or is there a process?? Tx, TN
which pictures would it be?

well i put it on my hard disk and send some via mail to my family. but the funny thing is that, due economical standard here you hardly have such time for big family reunions, so theres rarely pictures to send...lol
Good Point
by ogman - 5/16/06 6:24 AM In reply to: which pictures would it be? by KahanaTrue! Maybe you could put them up somewhere so your co-workers (your REAL family) can see them. Oh wait, showing off your pictures at work would get you fired!
Just upload them!

I just download my pics to my Mac using iPhoto or upload them to my xanga-nothing very special.
Upload to kodak then...
by superman227 - 5/16/06 2:39 AM In reply to: What is the first thing you do with new digital photos? by Marc Bennett
I'll usually upload my pics to Kodak then I'll email a select few. My email service recently raised their limit to 10 mb an email which helps. A cd is for those who can't figure out computers too much (i'll probably print a few pics for them).
Are you kidding? Here are my FIRSTS b efore your first.

1.1:Looking at them -after a comfortable day of shootingf-in bed en do a preselect at the camera display.
[saves money, space,irritation, working on RAW makes this more convenient]
1.2: Putting them on HD, renaming to themes and date-picture-taken [Important for NOT to lose the most important exif element for keeping order.]
1.3: Reverting to TIFF and give the once over [cropping, readjusting exposure aspects etc]
1.4. Selecting clusters adapted to the interests of friends and familiy.
1.5. REVERTING THEM TO MAILABLE SIZES.
NOW THE REAL FIRST:
Sending them around by mail, NO sharing, NO loggin.
ADVANTAGE: I decide who’s to enjoy my more intimate aspects of life. I spare others the non-entities only valuable for myself or the chosen few. I hate the worldwide idea of sharing the unimportant things, like:"Ha, look PUP is now three days old, next is my grand ma, doesn't she look strong?"
Are you kidding?
by TNeedy - 5/16/06 9:29 AM In reply to: Are you kidding? Here are my FIRSTS b efore your first. by engelbertEngelbert,
When changing your pictures to tiff format do you just change the file extension, work on it and change the file extension to jpg or whatever to send them out, or is there a more technical process than that??
I'd love to hear how you do this! Tx!
