Photo Freedom Giveaway.

Ordering prints of too many from the same event. If I'd just order the ones I will actually scrap, I would save money and storage space!

wow, how awesome. Well let me see . . .
1. Finding the time to get them organized and photo-shopped.
2. Getting them out of the computer and printed
3. Knowing which ones I have gottten printed
4. Not having enough hard drive for pictures and having to burn them on CD's then having to go through the CD's to find the ones I am looking for.
5. I miss the routine of film, you take the pictures, you take your roll in to get developed, waaaalaa, you have your pictures.
6. Knowing whether I want to develop them for scrapbooking or to just put them in an album or not at all.
Ugh, wow, I have lots of struggles, you wanted just one but I gave you lots. And I could think of more, LOL.

my biggest struggle is finding time to print them off and scrap with them. Also to keep them organized on the computer.

My struggle is to take pictures that don't look posed. And then to learn more Photoshop skills to improve the pictures that I take.

my biggest problems are not knowing what to do with vintage photos and not knowing how to store current photos. Does it make more sense to store chronologically or by events?! I think many of us scrap here & there so chrono is hard to remember when things happened but it seems the most logical to most of our brains!

Actually printing the photos seems to be my biggest challenge, although we just bought a printer similar to the one you have (we got the wireless one) and it sits IN my craft room...so I am hoping this begins to get better. And of course my ongoing battle with everything...organization!
Thanks, Ali!

Wow! The comments are overwhelming! We all love you Ali! My biggest struggle is narrowing down a "group" of pictures into a 1-2 page spread. I may take 40 pictures at a birthday party and I'll want to use 20 on a layout! Terrible. Indecisiveness at its best!

Biggest photo struggle: getting my 2 & 4 year old to sit still for a photo! ;) Thanks! -Ann Marie

My biggest struggle is probably even remembering what I have photos of! I snap the pics, download them into the computer and store them by month... and then if I don't flip through them often, I don't even remember what I have any more. Help!

Keeping up with what i have and what needs to be done. If only there was more time in a day.
Thanks for all you tips Ali!

I carry the camera to special events and then forget to use it!!

Hi Ali,
Love the yellow roses--just what we need to see on this 10 below 0 day in Chicago with wind chills of 30 below!!!! Brrrrr
Photo struggle, well, at last check a couple weeks ago I had 38,343 images stored on my pc. I can't even give a good guess at how long it would take to go through all those pics. I did start printing them but I don't think I should print all 38,000, do you? I printed 1000 at Photoworks with the 10 cents and free shipping January coupon but it's not even a drop in the picture bucket (if you will). Anyone else out there had this issue and how did you muddle through it??? BTW I have taken Stacy's class twice, but I never got all the physical pics sorted either. I have an 18" wide by 36" long by 36" tall plastic container of pictures from my Mom's house that I need to go through as well. It's just almost too overwhelming. HELP HELP HELP!!! p.s. I am taking the class as an alum again as I figure every little bit helps. Would really love to have these all sorted. My pc has them by date of when I upload them from the memory card but that's pretty much it. Thanks for listening to my whine, girls.

I really need to pare my photos down. I have 7000 and counting... None of them are printed, they're all on my computer!

Wow. The number is over a thousand. Not much of a chance at winning, but my biggest thing is getting fast-action shots.

My biggest struggle is insecurity...will it be good enough, will it capture the moment we were in, will it be worthy of sharing with others...that's my struggle.

My struggle: getting photos uploaded for printing and storage. I stall and stall...making it a HUGE project when it finally gets done.

My BIGgest photo struggle has to be storage.
1) how to store them (now digital photos must be included, too)and,
2) where to store

Wow so many comments! LOL! I am so fustrated right now I have a digital Elph and I took pictures during the Holidays and a few pictures look scary....how so? Well My cousins eyes are missing and 1 my sister in law was making mashed potatoes and her hand is all speckly like it was spinning. The rest all came out wonderful or wonderful for me. Do you think it is the card I should replace? Thank you and I hope you get to at least reply and "understand" what happened! Hugz happy reading Grace

So many struggles with this one...
1) I still do the film thing (not digital yet) and tend to get doubles so that when I scrap a picture I still have that picture ... rather than just getting a reprint IF I need a reprint.
2) Keeping most pictures even if they aren't that great.
3) Keeping pictures organized or at least in the same area...they are scattered throughout.

My biggest struggle is organizing my photos in a way that I can keep up with. I have really stopped printing many photos because the ones I do have are in such disarray. It is overwhelming. I had good intentions with my shoebox filing system, but just didn't keep it up and now there are so many photos that I can't date in order to file.
