QuickTips Index

Back Up Your Digital Photos
Some people will save film negatives for generations, but when they make the switch to digital, they may never even consider the idea of making a second backup copy of their images.

The Right Way to Email Digital Photos
Sending pictures by email is an easy way to share your digital photos, but make sure you do it the right way so you don't annoy your friends and family.

Capture The Highest Resolution That Your Camera Offers
Your digital photos could be the only document of your life that is passed on to the generations that follow you. Use your camera's highest resolution to preserve that history with as much detail as possible.

Upgrade the Software that Came with Your Camera or Scanner
The bundled software that comes with your camera or scanner may be ebough for basic tasks, but to truly enjoy the full potential of digital photography, you should consider upgrading to a more flexible, mainstream photo editor.

The Pitfalls of JPEG Compression
JPEG compression makes your pictures nice and small so you can fit more on your storage card, but too much compression can damage them beyond repair. Your camera probably offers options to let you choose the best compromise between image quality and file size.
