re: #16 lawhawk

Meanwhile, my computer is chugging away at batch processing RAW files into JPGs for online posting. This should be interesting. I get to preserve the RAW files separately, and can play with the JPGs to post online, or to send to folks. After all, the RAW files are 20mb a pop. 800+ photos, though some are part of panorama shots, or setups for HDR and experimental shots. When I’m done with this operation, it’ll be posting time over at the blog.

It’s like baking. Gotta wait for the program to finish cooking.

Yeah, that’s how i work since I got the 7D. I shoot RAW only. That’s my master library. But I use Picasa to look at them &review I only process the good ones, the keepers. I used to batch process them all and gave it up. I never knew what size I really wanted anyway. RAW then Photoshop then jpeg.

And how i wound up owning so many external drives. Just wait till you start to keep even a little video. 12 or 13 minutes is 4 gigs.
