Tina,

Who woulda thunk you'd end up as our Photoshop/digital guru?! Keep it up!
We'll all end up digitally literate.

Thanks
B. D.

For those of you using the PhotoShop Contact sheet feature, I just
discovered a tip on the Adobe forum.  You can unclick "Use Filename" and
make the contact sheets without labels, then in PhotoShop use the Text tool
to add labels in any size font you want.  This really helped me fit the
filenames under the thumbnails.

I cut my negatives up and mount them in hanging slide pages, 20 to a
page.  I make the contact sheets to match each page - 20 thumbnails to a
page.  It's easier to scan negatives and file them by subject in the slide
mounts.  I can also discard all of those awful out-of-focus shots that
always seem to be in the middle of strip!

Leically,

Tina
