Originally posted by Liney I really should go through and ditch the old images I have no need to keep, but I always feel that well perhaps I should keep them just in case.
I appreciate the sentiment, but today I was looking for a shot that I knew I had kept, but hadn't tagged properly. Wading through the dross of 3 year old untagged, un processed images made me realize that I am seldom the type who will put effort into an image I didn't properly process the first time. because I knew it was not that good.
Having said that, I am using a trial of Topaz AI De-Noise, and I am impressed with the results, there are a few shots I have saved, but only a few, that I know will benefit from this software.
End of the first month of a new year, I'll be curating my Flickr stream and removing a lot of poor quality images off my local drive before backing up what I have to storage. As always, I make exceptions for family pictures.
There is value in revisiting older pix, it has gviven me ideas of themes or subjects to revisit, no that I am a better photographer, those images should be better.
