Do you print many of your photos or keep them on disk only?
I print some of the good ones (8x10) but I always keep them on disk for as long as I can. Then I delete them to make room for more pictures.

Do you use your own photo printer or send them out?
I send out for pictures I want to frame or hang up on the wall. Otherwise, if I need a print, I just print them on my Epson printer

If you send them out, what service do you use?
Walmart--it's very convenient for me because I work very close to one and can pick them up at the store without having to pay shipping and handling. I can also return the pictures that I don't like to the store and get my money back right away.

Do you backup your photos, if so to what kind of media?
I initially started backing up to DVD-R but then realized that a DVD holds TOO many pictures. If something were to happen to that one DVD, I'd be out a LOT of pictures. I now back up to CD-Rs making two copies of each.

Do you ever make slide shows that can play on a DVD player? If so, with what software?
I use Ulead Video Studio and Ulead DVD Movie Factory to burn my DVD or VCD slide shows

What else do you do with your photos?
I put them up on my online gallery on the web to share with family and friends.

•Print a very few that I really like either for sale or for give-away on an Epson 1270. Keep a few more than that for future use on CD

•Back-up to CD, burn two copies "just in case"
