Back ups are good as long as the infection or what caused your computer to crash doesn't get saved to the system backup before the problem causes your system to crash . Not all problems show up while you are in windows , a lot of them start after the computer is restarted or rebooted as some call it . I do use both types of back ups for customers with contracts with me . Tom's Computer Repair


I fully agree. That is why my back-up procedure is:

1. Create full (partitions) back-up.
2. Create (daily) five incremental backups
3. Create new Full back-up.
4. Keep up to 4 previous back-ups (depending on space).

That way I can go back about a month to any day.

Oh! In addition, every year or so, I do save a copy to a another disk before TrueImage can delete. Although, I cannot imagine ever having to go back a year, it just feels god that I can.

... So I did the procedure I mentioned and got it up and running again just like it was running before she downloaded and installed the program to try to fix another problem. She learned a lesson the hard way .. Tom's Computer Repair


Excellent advice. I would have never thought of that. This situation does point out the importance of a back-up system. I use TrueImage (https://www.acronis.com/en-us/) but there are a gagillion other excellent back-up programs available. I back-up three computers nightly and, quite often (more than I would prefer), I reset back to a previous state. Backing up nightly means I can only lose (or whatever rhymes with booze), at the most, 24 hours... but can also go back weeks.

Have you tried Atlex (http://www.atlex.com/) for your inks? They are also a good place to purchase a printer -- my last two came from them. (My current photo printer, Epson SP 3880, was, at the time (3 yrs?), the lowest price available.

(Full disclosure: one of their warehouses is less than ten blocks from my house so I get next day delivery -- by UPS. I have no other vested interest in the company))

Yes. I use one called Everything - also free.

Yes, "Everything" is an excellent program. I use it probably 4-5 times a day to search for specific files. Once it indexes (which doesn't take all that long on my 30 TB of storage), a search is lightning fast.

For a more sophisticated search (a word inside of a PDF file, for instance), I use "Copernic Desktop," (https://www.copernic.com/en/products/) It is a little pricy but is valuable often enough to offset that... for me.

In any event, either of these programs are good at counting the number of a certain type file. A search of *.jpg would produce a list of image files that can be sorted by Path. A search in "Everything" gave me (within a split second) a list of 559,376 JPG files. Scary to see at first but it includes every image internal to most software; Icons, images in Help, Menu Items, for instance.

You could also use a disk-scanning app to get a better idea of what you have. I use "Scanner." http://steffengerlach.de/freeware/

Well if you used LR on the left panel under Catalog the is an item All Photographs with the number of images in the catalog


This is true for EACH catalog. I have two catalogs with ~100,000 in each. So I would have to add the two together to get an actual "total." Of course, this only counts the images that are tracked by LR.

It would be nice to know more about your equipment but here is how you find out the number of files and folders within windows:

1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Highlight "My Documents" (May be simply "Documents") and "Right Click."
3. Select "Properties."
4. Under the "General" tab will be the line entitled "Contains:." There you will see the files and folders count.

You can do these steps for each individual folder to narrow it down further.

How many of those files would be images, I have no clue.

And more will be added at a later date. Some cameras will never be supported that lack the means to be controlled externally.


The real problem will be the need to connect this device to the camera by cable. The SX60HS camera can be connected externally to a smart phone (https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/explore/solutions-services/mobile-apps/camera-connect) but I don't see how this device would connect to the camera with it's current cable.

I wondered that, too. The USP cable end looks to be the wrong type for the SX60IS.

Then tell me if you believe it would work and improve the IQ, with a camera such as the Cannon SX60HS or the Nikon-P900.


Probably. $250 seems a bit much, though.

The Link you provide is simply a Google "Search" result. What is the Link to the Video?

I would guess that it would be okay ONLY with the appropriate filter on the lens.

Like you will (do) look so wonderful at 70+... or even care.

In addition to the above, I have had good luck with Blurb -- http://www.blurb.com/.

I change all my image files to include the camera, the date, and the time -- for example: _N6A3859 Canon EOS 7D Mark II August 26, 2015 14H 39M 41S. That way there is no chance of overwriting previous shots. This was the result of bitter experience with Canon's policy of using the same numbering system for multiple cameras.
