Managing Digital Images Program
Title: Managing Digital Images: Finding, Saving, Sharing and Organizing The Pictures of Your Life!
Program Information
This Digital Image Program is available originally for libraries, but can be for any interested group (including historical groups, cultural organizations, camera clubs, camera stores, etc.)
There will not be a charge for Michigan libraries or nonprofits. There may be a modest charge for other groups.
Available for virtual presentations or in-person if close to Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti, Michigan area.
This program is updated regularly to reflect the continually changing landscape for photographic storage.
If interested - please write Corey at coreyseeman@gmail.com.
Description: Seems that everyone is a photographer these days. We use our smartphones, our tablets, and even some people even use cameras. With the ease of taking pictures, we find ourselves with a new concern. How do we manage, save and share these pictures? This program will introduce you to photo sharing services that are available from companies such as Google, Apple, facebook and flickr (among others) and how to organize them for easy retrieval. We will look at ways organize, backup and share pictures with friends and family. We will also explore how images are found by others (using tags or search terms), if you want to share more broadly. This could be the perfect session if you want to do something with all those pictures on your phone or clogging up your SD card!
