Funniest thing. This blog didn’t turn out like I expected. First of all, Bev got busy, and maybe I didn’t make it easy enough for her to post. I probably could have done that better. Busy folks just don’t have time for junk, ya know?
But anyway I still have things to say, so I’m going to say them. *GRIN*
I need a photo gallery program or wp plugin or something. I’ve looked at some third party software, and personally I think it’s all ALMOST what I need, but I haven’t found the be all and end all yet. I need to be able to share the files and searchable data on a server with about three other designers, and I need it to be EASY. Easy to install, easy to support, and easy to use. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just easy.
We all have adobe CS3 products so first I thought I’d try Bridge or even version cue, and I did give it a good run. The thing is..it isn’t EASY. We are busy and we don’t have time to learn new complicated programs. This has to be a tool to make life easier, not a new program to learn. I hate to say it, but so far Adobe Bridge is kicking my butt. I have things in it. I have meta data on some. But it takes soooo long, and the pictures are large.. and how am I going to work with that??
I heard once that a PNG doesn’t lose it’s resolution. Do you suppose that’s true? I”m going to research that on the web tonight – cuz I’m totally cool with storing things as PNGs if that helps.
Ok, well, I’ll be back when I figure it out. I’m sure I will.
