Legacy Photomax solution for photo storage : Although the final figures aren’t yet tallied, the 2006 holiday season was a very good one for digital cameras. Chances are that in just about every household, one was either given as a gift, or received. So, now that all these new digital photographers are shooting away, what are they going to do with all the images? They don't know either! Millions of digital photos are taken every day, with the figure growing exponentially. The biggest problem most of us face is storage. What to do with all of these photos? LegacyPhotomax has the solution for the digital photo storage dilemma. The best time to start organizing the photos is before they're spread out all over the place.
Organize digital images
Organizing the digital images into folders on a computer’s hard drive is one option...with two major dangers. If the hard drive crashes, all of the images could be lost forever. And, images take up a lot of hard drive space, making the hard drive more likely to crash. So, a back-up is necessary. Backing the photos up onto a CD is great, until the CD is lost. Then there's always the possibility of a disaster, a fire, flood, hurricane or earthquake and again, the family’s most precious possessions, their photos, are lost forever.
Print & Store digital photos
Some novice digital photographers simply take the memory cards to their local photo kiosk, print the pictures, and erase the card to re-use. This is even worse than the old analog film way of doing things because there aren't any negatives to use in the event something happens to the prints. So, some people just keep piling up the memory cards! Not only is this impractical, they have no way to see what pictures are on each card and no way to enjoy those photos. It’s also prohibitively expensive.
