I'm glad you are liking the tuts so far... yes - most of what I've said so far is basic stuff but it does set the ground rules for what comes next... Episode 3! I'll be posting it this afternoon... just converting it to PDF right now!

KB - yes.. I know it's temping to just delete them straight away.. but backing up first will save you a bunch of grief down the road.. I actually did delete the memory card once and then realized the files didn't transfer.. one of those cases where I left the computer thinking I had done it but really didn't... anyway.. was able to recover them all using a recovery program.. but should have waited.. I now always follow these steps!

Rae: That's a great resolution... even if you don't follow it 100% - any sort of management will greatly create the organziation that will enalbe you to find all your photos with ease.
