When I "go digital" and shoot raw, hard disk space and DVDs will present the same problem! ================ Not the same. Physical storage space is much less of a problem. I have boxes and boxes of slides, a lot less than you, I imagine. But they do take up space.
While DVDs storing my whole output to date on digital take up a lot less PHYSICAL space. Yeah, I can delete the ones that are TOTALLY black because I underexposed, but I have found, I don't even do that. Learning experience and all that. If I start filling up as much physical space with DVDs that I do with slides, then maybe. :-) So it's not as much a problem as you might think. Course I have my whole second HD devoted just to pictures. Makes it easier. (Well, it has PS CS on it too, but that still leaves a WHOLE lot of room for pictures.) And every now and then I don't just back up, I move some of the old ones to DVD (removing them completely from the HD). Because, well, a lot of my shots just aren't worth much. Especially the earlier ones. So you are anticipating, I think, more problems with that then there actually are. Storage of digital images is actually EASIER. At least to my way of thinking. Double backups, of course. Marnie
