Does anyone out there use ACDSee?? It's my organizing program that I swear by. Makes life so much easier and my LO's much more diverse in the designer products I use. The problem is, organizing under ACDSee is VERY VERY VERY tedious and time consuming. I've been pretty good at keeping up with it all, but something very bad happened to our desktop about a month ago. His name is NOAH. Yes, my precocious little boy spent about a minute unsupervised at our computer and managed to crash it! I was lucky to have most of my stuff backed up on an EHD, but ACDSee wasn't working properly. You can imagine my feelings of dread when I realized hundreds and hundreds of organizing time could've all disappeared. Anyway, to make a very long story short, I was forced to upgrade to ACDSee 10 (note to self, NEVER purchase just a software download online. make sure you get a hard copy of it in case your computer crashes) but after several weeks of playing around with it, I was finally able to upgrade and save my database as well. Wow that was a long story...
Oh, yea, I must also say that Mike gave me the best birthday present EVER! A photoshop upgrade! YAAAAAAAYYYYY!!! I have been stuck using PSE5 for the past year and was feeling frustrated with the poor shadowing ability it gave me, so after a lot of begging and pleading, I am now the proud owner of PSCS3! I am seeing there will be a lot to learn here, but I'm up for the challenge. If anyone has some good advice or tutorials to share with me, I'm all ears! :)
One last thing... I am hoping to be upgrading my camera soon! Mike promised I could use the extra money from George Bush to buy one. I've done enough research to figure out I want a Nikon D80 camera body. I'm also hoping to fore go the kit lens and get these two instead:
Nikor 50mm/1.8 fixed lens
Sigma 18-200mm/3.5-6.3
I'm so excited and **hope** to convince Mike to let me buy it before I have the baby. We'll see.
