I posted recently that I'm on a bit of a quest to get almost 10 years worth of jPeg images stored, edited and printed. I'm wondering what would be a good method/habbit to get into for editing and saving.
I got some help on a previous thread and now have my head around the cropping of my 4:3 images to provide me with 6 x 4 for printing for basic albums.
I know that most people on here who are advanced on photography probably shoot mostly in Raw and always save the original image and carry out edits/ crops whenever they need.(I'll get to this stage one day:blushing:
I've decided that although all my images have been taken in 4:3, for the purpose of printing I'm going to crop the majority and print in 6 x 4 for albums and certain images that I really like I'm going to print to A4 size.
Would this be the correct way to do it?
1. Take original image (Image 1), carry out any adjustments like straightening, brightness etc.(not cropping) and save this (Image 1 - Edited)
2. I would now have the original image and the edited version of the image. Save both original and edited version of each and back up to external hard drive and DVD.
3. Then for printing purposes, if I want a copy for an album, take my edited version, crop to 6 x 4, get it printed but don't save the cropped version. This way I have the original, the edited version and any time I want a print whether it be 6 x 4 or A4 I carry out required crop or sizing of the edited version.
Thanks again.
