This section of the course looks at the end of our workflow and displaying the final image. There are two ways in which we can display the final images - in print or in a web gallery.
Back ups
We should always keep back ups of our images and store them in a safe place. We can do this by saving our copies in a separate folder but is this simply enough?
It depends on how valuable your images are to you. Would you be devastated if you were to lose them all? I think I probably would be really disappointed to see all my hard work vanish due to some computer malfunction. All my images are backed up on an external drive which protects me from this. However, what it doesn't protect me from is flood or fire damage.
Archives need a separate physical location because in the event of theft, fire or flood damage you need your images to be safe.
One option would be to look at backing up to a dvd and saving these off your premises. This could be cumbersome.
Another option would be to explore the opportunities afforded us now with cloud technology.
