Get it PRINTED Challenge!

With the recent announcement of the closing of BLACKS, I am reminded how important it is to print your photos/images. We as a society are taking MORE pictures than ever before, but sadly less than 10% are ever printed. 

So, here's a simple challenge  for you, to help you celebrate your memories of this year, so far....

Your Challenge is to print your January 1, 2015 - June 30, 2015 images/pictures by July 15, 2015 - that's it, that's all you have to do!

Why take the challenge? To get your pictures PRINTED, of course! A PRINTED photo cannot be lost in cyber-space or technology upgrades or computer crashes, it is the SAFEST way to preserve your memories... so let's get them printed!

How to quickly organize, edit and print your photos:
I use Historian from FOREVER to organize, store and edit my photos. I've used it for YEARS (formerly Memory Manager). So, these instructions are base on the Historian Software. See below too for a visual on how this is done in Historian.

1. Import all your photos into Historian
2. Create a Category "2015"
3. Create tags for each month
4. Create 'event' tags if needed (for special events you don't want in your monthly folders)
5. Drag & drop your photos into the appropriate folder
6. Open the 1st folder
7. Select each photo you want to print by giving it a "4 Star" rating
8. As you come across an image you want enlarged when printed, give it a '5 Star' rating
9. Continue with each folder
10. Change view to see only "4 Star or higher" rated images 
11. Use the Auto Fix button to edit images and then any other editing or cropping you want to do for each image.
12. Save all "4 Star" images to your desktop in a NEW folder marked 2015 4x6 
13. Change view to "5 Star"
14. Crop all to appropriate size you want printed and edit each image
15. SAVE into a folder on your desktop with the coordinating photo size
16. Now that you are organized, edited and ready to upload to your photo provider to print!
