Recording of Picture Handling Information

I just wanted to use this post as somewhere to record how I sort, edit, scan, and print the pictures that I have taken with my wife's Minolta Dimage F100 or have taken with my Nikon N70 SLR 35mm camera. With the F100, I usually take images in the 1280x960 format at a "fine" setting. This results in an digital image that is 1280x960 x 72 dpi and a 24 bit depth. If I scan in a developed picture taken with the N70, I scan it with my Epson Perfection 2450 Photo scanner at 240 dpi. A scan of that picture results in an image almost in the exact same format as the digital images.



For publishing on this weblog, with scanned photos, I simply thumbnail the photo down to a 480x360 format, and with a digital image, I edit the image for red-eye, and any other edits, and then also thumbnail it down to a 480x360 format. I primarily use Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 and Photoshop Album 2.0 for these tasks. This results in a thumbnail image that is decently fast on broadband and a normal image that is suitable for digital printing.



Anyway, the above represent the basics of my photo handling...
