The coolest thing about a digital camera is the ability to take 100 bad pictures to find a few really good ones. I take those few good ones and create a scrapbook for our family. It's relaxing. I
t also helps me with the layout and design for my website business. Sometimes doing it by hand enhances your ability to do it on the computer.
Oh and when I find that one in 1000 or one in 5000 picture, I get it printed and frame it
I have an amazing picture of a snail on a rose at the home of my late MIL. We took the last time we visited. It's an amazing close up and will remind us of a dear lady we loved who now is gone on.
Have a super day!

After simple cleanup editing, I upload them to Fotki
and send the URL link to all my friends and relatives.
Also, I am the designated, unofficial photographer and webmaster in a barbershop chapter and quartet. I post the Fotki URL links on our chapter website for those photos involving chapter activities. Come visit us at
www.crystalaires.org.
I do many different things with the images we take here at home. It depends on where and why the pictures are taken.
Create slide shows
Print them out
Use an online host for others to view
Send to friends and relatives
Put them on my personal Web site
Slide shows are great for specific events.
I print many of the old family photo's so they can be put into scrap books.
I put images online if a large number of folks might want to share them.
I email relatives images of family so they can enjoy the images too.
I use a few for various websites including MySpace.
I mostly use them to share with friends and relatives via email, using PhotoShop to resize them first.
I also create screensavers for whatever is happening in our family (weddings, celebrations, etc.) or for whatever season we are in (fall, winter, etc.).
I use Picasa Web Albums to share with friends and family. It's pretty easy to navigate and manage the pictures and it's really easy for some of my less computer savvy relatives to view the pics!
That's what I use too. I like it because it makes getting my pictures into an online album quick and easy. With the theft thing going on I may have to go back and make all my albums privet. Dunno yet.

At first, just using free Adobe Photoshop Album starter, I printed out the good shots on a new HP Photosmart. Then I took a Photoshop CS class online and went crazy creating collages and artwork(?) for birthday cards for the family. What's hard is trying NOT to take a photo of every gorgeous sunset or lovely flower in my garden.
If half the people who answered this survey were to tell you the "real" truth and not what they wish were true, they would have said "I don't do anything with my digital pictures.
It's the same thing we did in the film era. We had the negatives processed and prints made, looked at them a couple of times, then "filed" them in some big box in the junk closet.
I take a lot of pictures, and I burn them to DVDs for posterity, but most of the time they're crappy, just like when I was shooting film.
I use two differnt digital poto software. one by ashampoo and the ofther is Adobe. each has it own slide show ability. I post trips and house projects in my spaces by microsoft. I have made backgrounds and water marks for msn messenger, and my word processor for varying documents. There have been times that I have used the microsoft program called photo story for other projects done for people I know that want to send something to a family member that strictly uses the program. There is a whole world of things you can do with your photo editing programs which would enhance your photo experience. You just have to learn how then apply your new ability to what you are doing.
I just file them, after naming and dating them, on my computer. If someone wants to see nay photos, they are there. Or if they want a printout, it's there. Instant access. Hard copies fade. Albums take up too much room. It's easier to just keep them on the computer until they are asked for.
Would be good if others could share tips on how to to send and improve your digital photo's

24% don't do anything with their Photos?
Why do you take 'em if you don't use 'em?
I email friends and relatives my best (and sometimes, worst) Photos. And they do the same...
I am looking forward to using Photos for business, as soon as I get my damned web page up and running, that is.

I like to take my photos that I enjoy the most and I'll stick them on www.deviantart.com. Sometimes I play with them before sticking them up, but they end up there either way. = P
