Thread: Sorting vacation photos in a jiffy on an accompanying Netbook

When on a journey one takes a lot of pictures. At the end of a day, we always face the question: where do I go with all this data? Mobile photo tanks are practical for viewing, but to manage the photos there has to be proper photo management program. But does that mean lugging around an extra heavy notebook for that?

The alternative to the full grown notebooks is netbook. The mini notebooks are not only hip, but also practical for photographers. For example, equipped with Adobe Light room, photographers can immediately sort their photos in the evening in the hotel and tag them. Incidentally, all Light room owners can use the program very legally on a second computer. In order to be able to assess the photos well, it is important that the netbook has a good screen with a proper resolution. For example, the Acer 751H costs around Rs. 26,000, with a screen size of 11.6 inches and a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels it is good to work with. Its battery manages up to 7 hours and the 160 GB hard disk can accommodate a lot of photographs.

Improving the ergonomics: Though you will find the photo management software a bit slow you will undoubtedly find the software easy to operate. Obviously, working out new photos takes longer than on a desktop PC. The display quality of the thumbnails is however stunningly good. In order to be able to work ergonomically on the screen, it is important to customize the interface.

Managing photos: The viewing and deleting of superfluous images is very quick, as is. the evaluation and tagging. Considering the low computing power, one should restrict themselves to the photo management functions. To develop the images, neither the picture quality nor the size of the display is sufficient.

Transferring photos: After a vacation, you can add pictures to the archive on the desktop PC. To avoid any entered metadata from being lost, you will need the help of the function 'Import from catalogue'. Now you can directly get started with the photo optimization process.
