How is the best way to save photos on vacation?

While traveling I will use my iPhone 6 as my main camera.  What is the best way to save my photos & videos before I return home?
Do I need to use Google+, Mylio, dropbox, Evernote or will all remain in iCloud?  I"m not sure how this works.

One option is iCloud Photo Library:

  • How is the best way to transfer photos to external HD

    How do I go about moving the photos from iphoto onto an external hard drive? I would like for them to be on the external drive so that they wouldn't be taking up space on my computer, but to still be able to see them and work with them in iphoto as if they were on the computer itself.
    Also, I would like for them to be in a Windows compatible format, where I could plug the external HD into a Windows computer and work with them on it if I needed to. Is this possible?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    MacBookGal:
    Are you running a "referenced" library? That is one where you don't copy the photos into the library during import. If that is the type of library you have you can move the "source" files to the external HD but you will lose the links to them in iPhoto. When clicking on a thumbnail with the photos moved to another HD you'll get a message that iPhoto can't find the original and do you want to find it. I've learned that finding one photo in an event and relinking it will relink the other photos in that event. You will have to do that with every event you have.
    Also you do know that with a "referenced" library you cannot move, rename or edit the source file from the Finder. Also if you delete a photo from the library it will not be deleted from the source files. The biggest downside is that if while your in iPhoto and working the external HD loses connection for any reason you can corrupt the database file for the library. That can make the library non useable and make it necessary to start over with a new library and reimport. However, following the tip at the end of my signature you can recover from that situation fairly easily. If you do a search in this forum for "referenced" you'll find some very well worded arguments against using a referenced library by Terence Devlin and other.
    You can run a "managed" library from the external HD. Just follow Niels' post for that. You can have your full library on the external with a smaller on your laptop for traveling. You can use iPhoto Library Manager to copy Events or Album between the libraries as needed and keep the keywords, comments and titles intact.
    But the original files would not be available to PC users. To make the source files available for PC users the format of the external HD would have to be FAT 32 which iPhoto doesn't not like very well and can cause problems.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

    Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

    How is the best way to remove something from a photo?

    This is difficult to answer without fully knowing what you are trying to do.
    That said, a few excellent and user friendly retouching tools include:  The Spot Heealing Brush Tool, Healing Brush Tool, Patch Tool, and the Cloning Stamp Tool.

  • What's the best way to save on a (sort-of) network?

    We are a small town newspaper moving from paste-up to full pagination in InDesign. We have two ladies who design ads. We have an editor who writes copy and several others who type copy and do stuff like obits, etc. For the last zillion years every single thing is printed, cut-out and pasted up on page sheets.
    We are moving into In-Design. Whatever each of us creates, we save on our machines. We have just setup not really a server, but a device (a LaCie) that we can all see.
    I have designed a folder system on the Lacie and just this week we are starting to place our completed documents up to it. This is also where the page templates will go.
    My question is about the ads and the page templates. Those all have links. Those links are back on the machines of the creator.
    So, Bonnie creates ads, she will want to put her ads on the page templates and then we will put the copy around the ads.
    How is the best way to resolve the issue of links and fonts? Should we package each ad to put it up on the LaCie? What about fonts? I went to another (even smaller) newspaper and they have a font folder on their server. I assume that all fonts draw from it.
    Is my question clear?

    Thanks for everyone's thoughts on the subject. A consultant would be nice but, keep in mind, weekly newspapers are very small potatoes and on very small budgets. I am the technical end of the business, coming from a school district where I coordinated education related technical issues. So, I don't know much (yet) about all the ins and outs of ID. We have CS3.
    I think the two ladies (who have worked here 20+ years) would QUIT if I moved all of their graphics to someplace other than their own machines where they know where everything is. Their new machines got a clone of their old machines and then we added OSX and CS3.
    All copy has identical fonts and paragraph styles. We will put all news photos that will appear on the page in a network folder. So those will be easily placed. It's just the ads that will cause the problems. And there are a zillion of them in varying sizes. And those ads are the money makers so they are the most important thing.
    We are going to experiment with how we go about doing this. I know that there will be 4 different people opening the page templates and adding "stuff". The problem would be resolved if the ads went on last, but they go on first and (as our editor says) that "crap" he writes just pads the ads.

  • How is the best way to backup and organize Adobe layered .PSD files on iMac OSX maverick?

    How is the best way to organize and backup Adobe layered PSD files on iMac desktop OSX maverick?

    Please help me determine what is the bestway to backup Adobe layered  PSD files? I believe these are my choices to be assured this doesn't ever hapen again. Please comment.
    Buy Apple Airport Time capsule $280.  But I am not sure if it can store PSD layers. Can it or do you have to have Apple Apperture  software to act be sure layers are saved
    I had had trouble getting Adobe Cloud to sync to save files and so just trusted my computer to not ever crash.  Any hints on this procedure
    Are there any hints on PhotoShop image organization for a current IMac usser ?
    Please help.

    My backup plan is to use Time Machine to make a backup to an external disk drive plus I also do a clone of my system disk. So far between the bootable clone and the Time Machine backup this plan has covered all of my needs.

  • What is the best way to save an ai file so it can be opened in corel draw

    I have an ai file that needs to be opened in corel draw by a client. It needs to remain editable all paths and colors ect.
    Whats the best way to save it so it can be.
    yes I know corel is not as good as Illustrator but its what they have.

    Moving files back and forth between Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW is tricky. There's quite a bit more to it than knowing what version of CorelDRAW the client is using. If the artwork is fairly simple then there shouldn't be any problem with transferring the artwork into CorelDRAW. If the artwork has gradients, transparency effects, a lot of clipping masks, etc. then it's going to be a lot more dicey getting it to import into CorelDRAW properly. In addition to the .AI file you provide, you should give the client a PDF they can view in Adobe Reader or Acrobat so they can proof how the artwork is really supposed to look.
    I use Adobe Illustrator CC and CorelDRAW X6 in my work. I've used both applications for over 20 years. I don't consider either application better than the other. They both have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. I'll do a good bit of creative work within CorelDRAW to use certain features Illustrator either lacks or just doesn't do as well. Or I may need to design a really big project at full scale and Corel has a much bigger art board than Illustrator. Most of the time I move a lot of the stuff I created in CorelDRAW over to Illustrator for further refinement or moving it into Photoshop as paths or smart objects or just getting it ready to print (I don't like Corel's color engine even though it has improved in recent years).
    Like others have said, you need to know the basics of what the user has -mainly which version of CorelDRAW. The newer versions like the one I'm using can open Illustrator CS5 files. For older versions, you may have to save down to CS2 or even really old versions like Illustrator 8.
    CorelDRAW will not support certain Illustrator-dependent effects. For instance, if you apply a gradient to an object outline it will be lost when opened in CorelDRAW. A lot of other effects won't be maintained when opened in Corel unless they are flattened/expanded. Some effects may even have to be rasterized, and that can create other issues. Out of effects that are maintained, some may have to be adjusted. CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator handle things like gradient fills differently and don't understand how to portray gradients from their rival application accurately. Some nice fill that was created in CorelDRAW may have to be tweaked or completely rebuilt when opened in Illustrator.
    I get a lot of customer files in CorelDRAW and also a lot in Illustrator. That reason alone makes it necessary for me to have both CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator running on my computer.

  • What's the best way to save an 8.5 x 11 image for use as a page background in a PDF?

    What's the best way to save an 8.5 x 11 image for use as a page background in a PDF? My goal is to have a relatively small final .pdf file size that includes numerous pages with full 8.5 x 11 images as backgrounds in the document. If I save at 8.5 x 11 and 72dpi (example), the image is not 8.5 x 11, and the quality is not good enough. I need help with size, dpi, and file format to save as before I place it in InDesign and then save as a .pdf.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Do exactly what I said then.  Create the InDesign document of the required dimension, and chose whether it will be high quality print, or Interactive PDF.  It really doesn't mater what format you bring the image into that document.  It can be JPG, PNG, but I usually use native Photoshop PSD.  The image does have to be of high enough resolution, but it can be many times bigger than iis required for the final export.  (InDesign does not import the image, but rather references it on your hard drive.)
    When you have placed your text and finished your page, then export it to PDF, but go through the tabs chosing suitable settings.  If the image needs to be downsized, InDesign will do that at this stage while building the PDF.
    If you can tell us how this presentation will be made (Projector, overhead projector, printed page etc. or just emailed to the end users) we can help you more with the final output settings. 

  • What's the best way to share photos?

    Now that MobileMe Gallery is gone, what's the best way to share photos over the internet?
    Is there some simple method where I can upload an entire album from iPhoto and then send a link to others so they can view them?
    I've tried both Flickr and Shutterfly and did not like either.

    Why can't iPhoto just pull the images from a media browser or something over the network?
    I don't know. Part of the issue has to be that iPhoto is not a HD browser. Another part is what you mean by " ... just pull the images".
    Any tips on creating a locally hosted web gallery?
    My greatest single tip of all time: try it! The tools available to use for just a few hundred dollars are astoundingly powerful.
    Or... does anyone have any Automator magic they'd like to share?
    No need. Web galleries are built into Aperture 3. Put the images you want to be in the gallery in one Album (Smart or otherwise). Select all the images. Click "New→Web Page". Select a theme. Change some of the text. Make some other changes. Click "Export Web Pages ... ". Make some more decisions. Give the folder a name. Save it somewhere with access to those whom you wish to see it. Select "Tell me when done". Check your email (have a coffee). Click "Show in Finder". Open the folder. Double-click the file "index.html". Brilliant! Enjoy.
    The trick to sharing this is to make the folder available. The index file will always open the web site pages in a web browser.

  • The best Way To Save Your Work in Logic Express

    Im confussed.. i normally do a regular save in Logic Express. But i see other options like Save Project and im wondering whats the difference and whats the best way to save.

    Hi Smith,
    no fear mate,
    Save as a project means that all the files used in the section
    will be saved to a folder (audio, midi, plug-ins, automation, presets, samples etc.)
    Reference PDF Page 53 - "Saving as Project You can use the File > Save as Project function to save a song or project. If the open song isn’t already a project, the saved song file is assigned “project” status. This allows you to set the Project settings (File > Project > Settings) which determine how imported files are handled. This also makes the project “safe”, allowing you to move or copy the project folder without losing any file references that point to items within the folder. In the Save As Project dialog you can choose, if the project files should be copied or moved into the project folder. "
    Cheers,
    Jorge

  • How is the best way to send data from local database into remote database ?

    Hi all,
    I need to send data from local Oracle database into remote oracle database. Both sites connected via 128 kbps frame relay connection.
    The sending need to be done once a week, can be done nightly.
    How is the best way to do this ?
    Thank you very much,
    xtanto

    How is the best way to do this ?How much are you planning to send?
    You can use COPY command. Ensure that you have valid database link between two databases.
    Available options are:
    create - creates a new table. errors out if the destination table exists.
    replace - drop the destination table and re-creates with data.
    insert - inserts data if the destination table exists.
    append– appends data into an existing table.
    use set arraysize 5000 -The arraysize specifies the number of rows that SQL*Plus will retrieve from the database at one time.
    copy from scott/tiger@ORCL to scott/tiger@ORCL92 create new_emp using select * from emp;

  • How is the best way to manage the stats table?

    Hello!
    I have the Integration 2.1 working with an Oracle 8.1.7 db. I noticed that the table
    STATS is growing pretty fast.
    How is the best way to manage this table?... I haven't found something related with
    this issue in the documentation, but at least I want to know how to safely delete
    records from this table.
    For example, if I know the minimal time I have to keep in the table, is quite simple
    to create a shell script and/or Oracle pl/sql job to trim the table.
    I hope somebody can help me!!!!
    Thank you!
