I'm looking for some opinions on a few apps I've heard about.
I'm looking for some opinions on a few apps I've heard about.
You mean that the internet isn't going to agree with everyone? I am getting exactly what I wanted. People give advice based on their own stories, but I never thought they had similar experiences or made the same choices. Yet, I'm learning a lot from these comments. Thanks to all of you. Once my build pieces arrive, my questions will change. For now, I'll keep reading and watching how others handle Windows 10. I wish my timing worked out better; Windows 11 might launch before I have a chance on Windows 10. But as far as the schedule goes, I picked one hell of a year to build my first PC. Chips, cases, and motherboards are in short supply, and GPUs aren't even available yet. Oh no... However, the decision to jump right now was made by my dying iMac. It's quitting its fight and about to give up against defeat. Its GPU is broken (SOL). The black screens last longer and longer.
What do you guys use for moving, organizing and storing your camera pictures? On my Mac, I put an SD card in and open Photos, which comes up with the Apple app on it. It transfers all the photos and sorts them automatically. From there, I pick "Favorites" to see what I like, then open them in Photoshop to fix their colors. This is something I will use soon and not just for fun learning.
A USB cable connects the camera to your PC. You copy all existing photos from the camera into a folder on the PC. This folder has specific drives and subfolders for different types like RAW, JPGs, movies, organized by year or month. It's manual but very easy if you stay organized. Then use Adobe Lightroom to manage all the RAW files and make a catalog. I don't want to let software automatically import libraries; instead, I prefer to know exactly where every file is located.
