    Getting them printed out so I can use them without having to print each one individually. When I used film I would take the full rolls to the hour photo in the grocery store and they would be ready to pick up as I was checking out! Loved having the stack of photos to look through as a reward for putting all the groceries away and getting dinner started. With everything on the computer I don't get to have them printed at the store anymore (don't print digital) and I haven't been that thrilled with the quality of the home printed versions -I mean, sure they work, but they aren't the same as the film photos.

    My greatest struggle would have to be printing as I take my pics. I take a million photos it seems, but they never get printed. This year is the year I need to change this.... :)

    My biggest photo struggle.... A very active 3 year old daughter, who no longer has an interest in posing for mummy!

    My biggest problem with my pictures is being overwhelmed by so many, especially since I went Digital. I upload them to Costco and "try" to put the best on CD for backup before deleting them off the hard drive, but I'm way behind...help, Stacey!

    My biggest photo struggle is that I don't have a working solution for storage. I have *some* boxes and *some* big 5-up photo binders, but they're pretty much full of stuff that I never really imagine I will scrapbook with, but I don't want to throw them away. (Really only with the ones taken BEFORE I went digital, since I can just print as I want now.) Also, I am having trouble TAKING better photos now. I am saving my pennies for an SLR and a photog class. I feel like my good shots are pretty much lucky and kinda few and far between.

    WOW! This book would be great. I have thousands and thousand of photos on my computer and in boxes and I am just a little unsure of what to do with them. I feel like they are just getting lost in all the new photos. I guess this is one book I need to go pick up!
    Thanks

    Organization is my biggest problem. I can see a picture in my head but I have no idea where it is located. Also, since going digital I take so many more pictures and I find myself wanting to keep all of them!

    I wish I had more clean shots of my kids...without deistracting background clutter, bad color etc. My family is what I take pictures of most, and the images are extreemly amature.
    On the bright side...I have anew external ahrd drive + plans to dowload AseeDsee and get organized. Pretty intimidating task, so I have been procrastinating BIG TIME!

    My biggest photo struggle.... figuring out and printing odd photo sizes... Ilove to use them in my layouts but this requires a bit of preplanning and then if I find I want to do something different I've already printed out the picture and don't want to waste more ink to reprint.

    Ok so my photo struggle - I wish I had a better camera or know how to get more out of my existing camera. I love taking photos and just want to improve the quality. Cheers and hope you are enjoying the new year. Jane Sydney Australia!

    I'd have to say finding the time to edit them in Photoshop and print them out. It's great to have so much control...but I just need to learn to USE all this great control!

    Printing only what I need to scrap and scrapping the ones I print. Sometimes I print two or three sets of the same pictures and others I go to scrapbook only to realize I never printed them. In short--I need a better organization system. Plus, once I finish this L.O.A.d. challenge, I'll have most of my pics from the last two years scrapped, so it would be a good time to get organized.

    My biggest struggle is storing my photos (both printed digital photos and ones on my computer) and trying to narrow which ones I scrapbook! I am going to try to pre-order this book, but that would be great if I won it from you!! Thanks, Ali!!

    Oh, I'd love to have this book! Thank you very much for this giveaway. My biggest photo struggle is having the time to organize them and knowing the best methods to manage my photos digitally. I want to archive the photos in a way that will be as permanent as possible but I also love to have the whole year (or more) on my computer's hard drive so I can access them easily when I want to scrap.

    forgetting what I have already printed out - and then printing them again - or enlarging them and then still getting them printed - i waste so much time and money doing this

    Oh wow! My biggest struggle is printing them. I've tried just getting a ton printed from scrapbookpictures.com and then just working with the pictures but that doesn't always work for me. A lot of times I like to print out my own pictures using my computer/printer but then, the pictures don't come out as well...and organizing the pictures I've printed that's whole nother story.

    My biggest struggle is getting up the nerve to venture away from auto mode on my Canon Rebel XT . Love this camera and all of it's possibilities. Just need time to learn to tap into them.

    I take thousands of photos. I print none. I create mini albums, I plan even more mini albums, I have great intentions to scrapbook, yet I can't seem to choose and print my photos. I just get overwhelmed when I think about choosing the shots, sizing them, printing them . . . so overwhelmed I never get started.
    On a side note -- not sure why, but all of the postings on your blog show up as a link to CKU. Is this some glitch on my computer? Even the comments people left showed up underlined and were linked to CKU. Very strange.

    My biggest photo challenge? Getting in the photos! My husband has been working hard over the past year to improve his skills so I can actually appear in some of the photos. =)

    I have two -- one, taking great photos of candid moments like I usually see on other pages because I'm always afraid people might think I'm too obsessed with taking too many photos! That, and I have a hard time approaching people if I can take their photos. I feel like I'm invading their personal space! ;)

    I have a tough time keeping my digital pics organized! I lose track of what I've scrapped, what I haven't, what I've printed, and what I'd still like to print.

    Hmmm... I think organization is my biggest problem - with photos and every other area of my life!
