Which? Prints or Files?

Question: Which!? Prints or Files!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

If it matters - both!. We just bought two new photo albums today!. Our walls are covered with prints that we like!. I have 50 prints up all over my office and almost as many at home!. Why take pictures if you can't enjoy them!? Why limit your enjoyment to sitting in front of a monitor!?

I used to shoot slides all the time and it was a real rig-a-ma-roll to get everything out to look at them!. Oh, the colors were gorgeous and I did get prints made of our favorites, but we hardly ever bothered to look at them and when we did, it didn't last more than 15-20 minutes before everyone (including me) was bored!. Gloria finally convinced me to just shoot print film for our everyday stuff!. You can put them in an album and if you like one shot better than another, you can gaze lovingly upon it for as long as you want and then skim through the ones you don't like as much!.

Besides!. I've never had a photo album crash and destroy all of the pictures it contained!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I prefer prints but realize that I do have to have many of my photos as files!. I have a nice HP printer so I still make prints from my files!. Only idiots will stick to files only!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Both prints and files for good stuff, just files for everything elseWww@QuestionHome@Com

Prints take up too much space!. I like how DVDs full of pictures take up absolutely no space!. Plus, my computer screen is bigger than the prints I could afford to make!.

For anything worthwhile: prints, files AND backup files on an external hard drive!. :o)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have both, but until I take them to the lab or into my dark room, these files are just prints waiting to happen!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
