Quick Poll: Importing Pictures - what do you use/do?
Don't get overly excited, I'm not planning a feature here, but would love any feedback you stop to give here.
I consider myself a fairly savvy person, but I'm also impatient and a control-freak about some things. Even though Windows offers a nice photo-import tool that will nicely name and tag your photos for you, I always skip it and just open the folder. I copy the photos directly (in Windows Explorer) from the card or camera to the destination folder. I realized this the other day - I don't even stop to consider the option, I quickly open and go....
What about you? What do you do with your photos? Do you use the Windows feature or other software, and do you actually stop and take the time to sort and tag and merge into the right places?
I think for me it I am usually just in a hurry to dump the photos so I can back them up and get the card emptied for my camera. But as cards get so big, it is a long time between dumps which means lots of pictures are piling up waiting to be sorted and tagged, when I could have just tried to do that to start.
I do recall the one time I used the Windows feature, I wasn't overly confident, and didn't feel completely in control. For example, when sorting a large number of photos, it would be nice to remove the photos you already imported, but I get nervous saying "delete after import" when something good go wrong in the import and then the files would be lost. Okay, yes, I have photo recovery software, but you know what I mean....
Let me know -
