Oh my goodness. I haven't developed pictures since December....2009! This past week developing pictures was on my "to-do" list, and I am proud to say after a year of putting it off, I have finally developed some pictures! It feels good to be able to see in print how much Ingrid has grown over the past year. The total number of pictures developed: 400!! So I tallied it up.....400 pictures per year over 18 years equals 7200 pictures!! And that is just for ONE child. Then I realized......I have only sorted through half the pictures in my computer organizing system. That's right, i probably have another 200+ photo's to "send to the presses". Yikes. My goal was to have my pictures organized and printed by the time I get busy with my photography this sping and summer. I have some work to do......
Currently I am a picnik premium package user. It has worked great for me and I still like it, but I don't like to do a lot of editing (anymore). I mainly just touch up exposure/contrast, sharpness, and make a few little tweeks here and there, but I really love what my new software has to offer. That's why we bought lightroom 3. I am super excited to get started! We have to upgrade our computer as well, and as soon as we do I will have lots of learning to do! I have spent the past couple of months researching and learning, so hopefully I will have a head start once it gets installed. I can't wait...and hopefully with the organization tools Lightroom offers I won't be waiting another year to develop photos!
