It was really easy! You don't have to download every picture either, for example, you could just pick the set "wedding pics" if you were making a CD for a family member or something. So if Flickr ever got crazy expensive you could definitely get all your photos off the site pretty quickly!

Adam also said that there's actually more and more storage space on the internet thanks to virtual servers (which is what he works on). <br /><br />I took a photography workshop last summer and the photographer recommended shooting in RAW, obviously. He uploaded the photos from his camera to the computer as RAW files, edited them, and saved them as jpegs. Then whenever he filled up a memory card, instead of deleting everything on it and he's just start using a new one and label the old memory card with the last date he used it. Since memory cards aren't really that expensive for the amount of storage space they provide, that just seemed easiest to him. <br /><br />My system right now is to upload all the photos into a file titled "2013 all" and then copy my favorites into a file titled "2013 favorites". I edit the favorites and upload them to Flickr. At the end of the year I delete the "all" folder and move the "favorites" folder to our external hard drive.

I filled my entire laptop hard drive with photos (or like 90% photos and 10% other stuff), so my previous super-easy method of "store them on the computer and back up every week or so with the external hard drive and Apple's Time Machine" doesn't work anymore. <br /><br />I've been considering Flickr, but I'm just not sure. I'm terrified that one day they'll raise the price to like $400/yr (or, more likely, a progressive rate structure based on storage) and I'll be stuck paying it to avoid losing my photos. Plus Flickr can't store images in RAW format. Does it let you "batch download" everything if necessary? Also... do you upload them to your computer first, then edit them in Photoshop, then upload them to Flickr, then delete them from the computer?

I was an avid Picasa user for several years, but since they've gone away with the Picnik photo editing I stopped uploading. I didn't know all those details about Flickr. Sounds like it's worth a shot!<br /><br />I recently upgraded to Lightroom. I take somewheres of 10,000+ a year and it helps keep them nice and organized and it loads so much faster than Apple's Aperture. <br /><br />I have been thinking about switching from MyPublisher to Blurb, now that I have Lightroom it just makes sense. I'm glad you like the quality because I think MyPublisher's is only so-so.<br /><br />Also, start messing around with shooting in manual - I took a class, but also read Digital Photography School and have learned little tips from them. I just did my first two days shooting in RAW and I seem to like it so far. Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144938504014711029noreply@blogger.com
