Had to be brutal
« on: April 16, 2009, 10:09:24 AM »
I'm a bit of a hoarder when it comes to photos - I tend to keep everything :( But my hard drive is starting to burst at the seams so I thought I'd clean it up a bit. Spent a few hours over the last few days deleting photos from my aircraft folders and nearly died when I saw the final total of deleted items, just over 1000 (5gb worth). I haven't even started into my family pictures and landscapes.

You should consider an external hard drive.I've a 400GB one which i save all my 'original' unedited photos,and copies of the edited versions as a back up.
All my pics from the past three years are on it and i don't think i've even used up 3GB yet.

The laptop runs a lot faster too without all the 'excess baggage'  ;) ;)

Damn, that IS brutal! You should definately consider buying a hard drive to store photos in for the future. They can be bought for quite cheap from the internet.

I bought a 750GB harddrive for £69 and it should pretty much do me for the rest of my life. Sounds like Vortex has something similar. I'm sorry you had to delete some of your photos  :-\

If you do decide to get an external drive it may still be possible to retrieve your deleted pics using special software like 'Pandora Recovery' or 'Recuva'.
Have a look on Google - i tried it out of curiosity once and it was amazing to see all the stuff i had previously deleted.Handy if you delete something precious by mistake.

Sorry but I think you may have misunderstood, I didn't delete any photos that I wanted to keep. My problem is that I hoard - I would take a sequence of shots, of which maybe only one is sharp, composed correctly, exposed correctly and I would keep them all instead of just the one. So this is what I have done - separated the wheat from the chaff :)

Ahh but still, its preferable to keep all photos. I hoard too and havn't deleted a single photo since I began last September ;D I think I can learn by going back through the photos and seeing what approach I could have taken to improve them. So I'm still sorry you had to delete some of your photos, even if they were from sequences :)
