Organize Your Digital Photos
By Stephen G. Beck
With the advent of the digital camera, photography became much easier and much more convenient.
We no longer need to purchase rolls of film, take the film for processing, and then cringe when
the resulting prints are not what we expected. A digital camera makes it possible to see the
end result while still in the field, and if we don't like the result, we can delete the bad files and try again.
However, with a digital camera we tend to shoot a lot more images than we would have done with film.
This introduces a new problem: how to organize your digital photos.
The first thing you need to do is get yourself a good photo organization software application. You could
easily spend hundreds of dollars on this, but why would you want to. Google has an application called "Picasa"
that you can download for FREE!
Not only does Picasa make it easy to organize your digital photos, but it also allows you to
easily share them with your friends by uploading to web albums. Here are a few features:
One-click web upload using Picasa’s new “Web Album” button
Free storage space to post and share approximately 1000 photos, with the option to upgrade to more space
High-quality photos, automatically resized and optimized to fill available screen space
Pre-loaded images enable quick scrolling using arrow keys, and mimic a desktop experience of “flipping” through photos, even on the web
End-to-end photo management that makes it easy to download uploaded photos back to your computer
Since Picasa is FREE, why not give it a try. You have nothing to loose!
