I have been using an inexpensive HP 'PhotoSmart' Digital Camera for the last number of years to do my work with.
Key Benefits
 | Most digital cameras you get what you see and you can see what you get using the viewer. I don't have a viewer on my camera, and I don't mind. Viewers use battery power and I have to carry a number of batteries with me anyway. |
| No developing costs. You can delete unwanted shots and enhance those that need some TLC. |
| You can use the images to send via Email, use in publications and ads that you create. |
| Your photos can be put on CD ROM and archived for next generations. |
- Shoot the photos I want.
- Transfer them to my computer into a folder that I create with a name referring to the shooting session. Main folder would be '~AA_Photos'. I use the tilde symbol so that this folder is at the top of my main drive's directory tree. Within this folder, I create several sub-folders. Ref. to example below.
Main folder on C:\

1st Sub-directories under |
Subs under ~Digital Camera |
Don't be shy regarding the making of folders. Be organized!! Know where your Photos are. Keep it simple! The day might come when you won't know where you put a photo if you don't organize NOW. 'Guess where the batch of photos from last January's Ski Trip is'.
I save my photos in a folder 'as is' directly from the camera. Then I make a folder below this and label it something like "1st Editing" or "Resized". When I begin manipulating my photos, I save them in this new folder under a different identifiable name, just in case I 'blow it', I can start fresh again with the original.
My camera produces Tifs as the type of file. Tagged Image
