My process of rating, choosing and sorting pictures is a lot faster when they are just for me. Throw in the process of getting them to select which prints they want, and other communications, and all of a sudden my post processing time is about 3-4 times what it is when I'm just doing pictures for myself. At some point, I'll need to figure out how to set up a gallery where customers can order prints in such a way that I have a chance to clean up the prints that have been ordered. Ideally, they'd also be able to rate photos too. I should probably just take my camera for a walk in the forest while it's raining, just to do take some photos for myself for a change. > > Boris > > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
