Hi Amanda, I just watched your video. Do you have a cheat sheet of the settings you chose for photos, slides and negatives?

Thanks! This worked perfectly.

Tooooo lon introoo!

Thanks Amanda, this is a useful video. Just one thing to note (regarding what you say at 5:24), while it's true that you can always convert a file from one format to another later, it matters what file format you convert *from* and what you convert *to*. For example, converting a lossless file (e.g., a TIFF) to a lossy file (e.g., JPEG) means there will be a loss of information. Converting that same JPEG to a TIFF won't restore that information; it's already been lost in the conversion from TIFF to JPEG. So your choices will depend somewhat on what you're starting with (a lossless format or a lossy one), in addition to what you want to use the file for (editing, sharing, etc.). Advice varies on what's best practice for different uses; a conservative approach would favour saving everything in the highest quality (and most compatible) lossless format. However, as you've said, that results in very large file sizes that are often too cumbersome for things like sending a quick snap of your dog to a friend. It may even be too cumbersome for *some* archival applications, where the differences in visual quality (what we actually see when we look at the images) between formats is marginal and only becomes noticeable if the file is generated from high quality source equipment (e.g., a very good, high resolution scanner) and/or needs to be worked on, edited, etc. (However, that statement too may prove controversial!) Speaking personally, the trickiest part is trying to take into account potential future uses of your files. You may not want to work on or edit the images now, but future you might have other ideas. And in that case, future you is going to benefit from you now having taken the conservative approach mentioned above. But that approach is going to cost you; those bits add up, and those files are large. Storing them (and depending on how large they get, even viewing them) can become a pain; something not worth the hassle. Also, the fact that you've got the highest quality images, and the largest files, isn't going to help future you if, as a consequence of needing to find more storage space for them, you end up storing them across multiple physical drives and either misplace those drives or fail to back them up.

Thanks Amanda! Can you also convert them when your pictures are in Photos? I have a lot of pictures scanned as tiff files. I've imported them in Photos and made improvements. Now I can't export them proper.

What is your favourite digital photo frame?

Yeah, me again. I noticed that under this custom settings moving the Brightness, Contrast and Saturation controls have NO effect on the image. What am I doing wrong? And where are the RGB CMY controls? TY

Thanks for the great information! 🌞

THANK YOU! for saving me from paying for a subscription just so I could check ONE photo negative.

I have an android, but i'm so glad that i see someone showing the methode on both main platform!

Thank you! I use a Mac and when Apple upgraded to 32-bit software, Epson forced me to use SilverFast drivers. I have never been satisfied. I just visited with Epson support and was given multiple download files. I have no clue what the difference is between these files. The link Epson provided is epson.com/Support/Scanners/Perfection-Series/Epson-Perfection-V600-Photo/s/SPT_B11B198011?review-filter=macOS+14.x#panel-drivers--2 I used to be able to edit the images in the old Epson software. Not sure where to being now, Any suggestions on how to sort all this out?

What is your favourite way to add metadata to your photos?

What is your favourite storage for your photos?

What is your Apple Photos Top Tip?

I put descriptions against my photos on Google Photos but when I search against them, they do not show up. Any advice? Thanks!

Thank you! This is amazing, indeed!

Can you delete a photo from photos, after adding it to an album? I think no because when I delete that photo from photos, it gets deleted from the album too. It’s weird as I can either keep all photos or delete all of them.

I mostly scan negatives and use the Epson V850. I prefer it over the V600 because it will scan negatives in an 8x10 area instead of a single strip down the center of the scanner bed. I put my negatives into polypropylene negative holders that come in 8-1/2 x 11 sheets from PrintFile for many different sizes of negatives - they eventually go into a 3-ring binder - and then I place the entire sheet on the scanner. I use VueScan to do a preview, then place cropping rectangles around each image I want to scan. (The folks at Hamrick are trying to automate this process, but they're not quite there yet.) I then batch-scan the images I've outlined at 16 bits per pixel for B/W negatives and 48 bits for color in order to preserve as much dynamic range as possible. The only adjustment I do during scanning is to crop the histogram, which results in a crude exposure adjustment, and I do the rest in Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. One challenge I have scanning negatives is sorting them into chronological order prior to inserting them into the polypropylene sheets. Another challenge is cleaning the negatives adequately, I wish I had watched this video before I started, but you hadn't made it yet so there's that. One must be very careful not to scratch negatives, and static electricity can defeat even the best of intentions when cleaning negatives. I rely far too much on the spot healing tool in Photoshop to remove dust, which is very time-consuming, I should have paid more attention to cleaning. The bottom line is that your negatives may look clean, but they probably aren't. The challenge of naming files is very real when scanning lots of negatives. I kind of wish I had just used sequential numbers, because when you are doing many hundreds of negatives that are scrambled chronologically, other schemes can get out of control or paint you into a corner.

I've been working through boxes of old negatives (dating back to 1920) for the last few years, and I went with VueScan - probably the user interface on SilverFast pushed me away from it. Plus I bought VueScan when it had a lifetime price - buy it once and get free updates forever. Pretty good deal! They've since changed their pricing model, and I like it well enough that I've donated additional money to the cause even though I didn't have to 🙂. (My scanner is a V850 attached to a Mac, but I also have a V600 attached to a Windows computer.) I guess I would probably still choose VueScan over SilverFast even though the latter has more post processing features because I prefer to do editing and corrections in Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. I archive raw scanned images as well as the final edited versions, with the hope that someday there will be AI filters to fix camera motion during exposure and maybe do something with film grain. Since I scan mostly negatives, I use 48-bit TIF for the archived raw scans (or 16-bit TIF for B/W negatives), which gives me some dynamic range for adjusting exposure. I assume SilverFast will also do 48-bit scans, but that would be a deal-breaker for me if it didn't.

I'm not a huge fan of using Lightroom Classic and never found an easy way to add Metadata to all my images in one go using the Lightroom version for mobile and computer. This video has saved me so many hours buy being able to add Metadata to all of my images in one go, thank you so much for a quick and easy video.

Tuneup does not remove Apple DRM!!!

I'm impressed with the technical knowledge you share. Thanks! One of my quandaries is how to date photos of indeterminate date of origin. I inherited boxes of negatives dating back to 1920, and I can't always come up with a precise date. Okay, honestly, I can never come up with a precise date. One wonders if there is some kind of system for specifying approximate dates, and then searching or sorting based on that notation. A wish I have is that we need a uniform system for identifying people in images in the metadata, such as a name, face location in the image, and maybe a radius so that a viewing program could easily pop up circles around faces along with names, for example. I have heard some say, "Just put their names in the filename!" Of course that breaks down with the 100th photo with Uncle Ron in it, and doesn't work at all with photos of large groups of relatives or classmates. Maybe you've addressed these issues, I haven't looked at all your content yet. 🤷‍♂

should have added MAC to the title. I don't own a MAC and your video quickly became non-relevant to what I thought it was going to be.

My apps data is taking up storage. But if I erase the data in my apps it erases everything and I have to start all over again. What is the solution ❓

Would you like to marry me?

How do I load my photos?

You noted at one point you can add keywords, but then didn't show anything about doing that? It seems it might be a key to creating a form of 'collections' if you use consistent keywords? Is there any way to use metadata as a basis for collections? I had glanced at Bridge, & saw it had TWO different levels of metadata. 1 was basic, as you showed, but one was more advanced, allowing more free use of words, which seems they could be a basis for collections? since you say bridge is like an explorer, which should mean you can search within it based on words??

Took you 2 mins to get the point smh

I subscribed to photomyne, but I'm finding it impossible to find a place, inside or outside, where there's no shadow, reflection, light reflection. Any suggestions?

How simple. Thank you.

has amazon removed the family vault function? i dont see it any more on the web or mobile app....

I am so confused. Can you please help? I had an accident with a very strong magnet and my EHD backup of my entire photo history got corrupted. Amazon Photos is now the only place my entire photo history exists, including the vast majority of photos from my son's first few years. I want to download all my photos from Amazon Photos onto a new EHD so I am not dependent on Amazon forever, and also so I can back that up to Backblaze and never be in this position again. BUT, when I used the Amazon Photos desktop app, and used the Download then "All" route to download everything to my EHD, it only downloaded what was already in my folders in Amazon. I don't know how anything even got into folders on Amazon. Is there a way to add photos from Amazon Photos into the Folders on Amazon Photos? Or is there a way to get my entire Amazon Photos library downloaded without having to do each individual picture or album? I had asked Amazon customer service first and they assured me when i used the "download" then "all" route from the desktop app, it would download my entire photo library, but it did not. It only downloaded what was in the folders, so much of 2016 and 2017 are missing. Do you have any advice, please?

it is a good way to view, but would it be possible to capture the positive as a picture?

You recommend 'A Better Finder Atributes' for changing dates. (Bulk scans therefore no original date.). Does Adobe Bridge not do this?

So helpful

Thanks, I purchased Photo Date Changer and it works perfectly. I can fix my scanned photos to show up in the correct year and date of my other photo apps. Not bad for $10 considering I have been looking for a while at something this easy.

Sound advise & works well. Can you build a 'tag library' so that you can import the tag or tags rather than typing them in each time?

I was pretty stoked until I realize that was just 1 gb for $10. Maybe it makes sense to backup ONLY your favorite photos?

Love your videos. I have an issue - Dates are correct in google photos taken July 2021. I downloaded to my laptop. In downloads folder date is correct date but after moving them to a folder date modified says 1899 12 29.

Hey, I was wondering- is there a way to manually select how many photos you want to be backed up to amazon photos on mobile? In my case, I have a shared amazon photo account with my family for photos we take on vacation, and I have a lot of good photos but, I also have a lotttt of junk photos that I don’t want to back up to our shared family account. Lmk if theres a manual select option for back up, it would help, and thx for great content as always 🙏

amazing thank you

Seems expensive though? 200gb would be 2000 quid?

Does it store raw photos?

There is no i somewhere on the screen of my Android phone. Joann where the i is actually located in close up would have been so much more helpful

When you don't have space to download another app but need to download another app to make space😭

My pictures are in Photos and this will not read it

What is your go-to option to rename your photos?

Thanks for this. However, I want photos I take on WhatsApp not to be saved on my phone at all. I already don't have other peoples' images saving onto my phone, but it's the one's I take in WhatsApp. When I want to use my phone's camera to take a photo (not in WhatsApp just as a camera) obviously I want that to save. But when I take a photo or video in WhatsApp, once I've sent it I don't want it to clog up my phone's memory at all. If I want to see it I'll be able to look at that chat in WhatsApp, I don't want to have it in my phone's memory. Is that possible?

Google Photos and drive is more good to use as you ca use sync Google with both Ios and Andriod and it works on all platform so changing phones isnt a problem.
