My dad (a Windows user, btw) just got back from a 2-week trip to China. He said that between him and mom, they shot about 2,200 photos.
Nevermind that I averaged about 500 shots PER DAY when I was in China in 2005, but... when Dad commented that he was thinking he was going to need a more high-powered machine down in Texas so that he could get through them all, my jaw dropped. He winters in Texas from January-March and he's thinking he won't even be done sorting through them by then! Now, with my Powerbook and iPhoto, I'd be through 'em in a week. This is a guy who is retired and has all day to sort and edit, but he clearly doesn't have the workflow down. What I'd like to find for hims is software that does this at the very least: 1. Drop all of the photos into the software (or point the software to the location of said photos) 2. Sort through thumbnails and come up with "keepers" (stays in the index) and "nope" (photos are removed from said index) 3. Double-click on thumbnail and the photo (or a copy thereof) is pulled up for editing/modification. He's got Photoshop 7 so hopefully this software would be compatible with using an external editor 4. (Bonus): Create a web gallery from the remaining, edited photos Is there something out there in the Freeware/Shareware domain that is moderately suited to the task? I want to see his photos as much as he wants me to see them, and the thought of this being a 5-month process (!!!) just kills me! -Charles -- Charles Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
