old layouts? I'm just going through my EHD and I have a ton of old layouts on there that are bad, like really baaaaaaaaaad! I can't believe how long it took me to discover shadowing, LOL!

I can't imagine I will ever do anything with these layouts but it feels wrong to delete them! For now, I am just flattening them all into JPEG files to save space but I was just curious, do you delete old layouts??
 
I actually felt kind of bad deleting them so I put them on a disc. probably will never even look at them again LOL!
 
yes i delete all things bad
bad designer kits i bought out of boredom and now suck to me LOL and bad layouts LOL
 
If I deleted all of my "bad" or those that I deem bad... I wouldn't have much in my hard drives! :giggle
 
i haven't deleted any LOs - although i guess once i start going through my EHDs to do a major purge (on my to-do list this year) i will delete some old PSDs ... i'll save a full-res JPEG though, in case i lose my albums somehow ...
 
I'm a hoarder too. I can't imagine doing anything with them. But guess it's nice to know that they are there.

On another note, Carly, could you come delete stiffs for me?
 
I just flatten and reduce their size. I will never print them, but it is nice to have them to look at (if only to see how much you have grown as a digi scrapper)
 
I'm a deleter! I admit it, I print them and delete the psds, the ones that don't get printed(I call them fluff pages, made for CT previews only), I save only the save for web in my slide show folder. the family doesn't care about shadows or bad jaggy edged elements, they just want pics and stories!
I also delete about 1/2 my kits, every 6 months. Just go away...poof, empty that trash!
 
I have all of my LOs, even the old horrible ones, backed up. I don't keep the old ones on my active EHD though. Same with scrap supplies - I have purged the ugly stuff from my ACDSee organizing but it is all still on another backup.

This describes me when it comes to scrapbooking. I do burn to a CD but doubt I'll ever use them or see them again....but like Heather said 'nice to know they are there'.
 
I will delete a LOT of stuff... but not pics. and rarely layouts. the only layouts I can think of that i've ever deleted are those that i started but never finished.
 
Like others, I move them off my ehd onto a CD, but I don't delete. They come in handy for challenges to redo old layouts! :lmao But I like having them around to see how much my style has evolved.
 
Once they are printed and I am happy with them (like no errors in typing/date/etc.), I delete everything except the full resolution jpg file. And since I stay pretty current on printing, all those ugly layouts are all in my scrapbooks. Just last week, I was looking through them and feeling pretty mortified at some of them, but decided that it is what it is, and I don't have time to re-scrap all the layouts that are not exactly the style/quality that I would like them to be.

As far as digi stuff, I do occasionally go through and do major purges. Especially on stuff that I know that I will never use again. I keep quite a bit still, but if I haven't opened the file in like 2.5 years, then I probably am not going to pull it out to scrap with, you know?
 
I've got a lot harsher on this. I've deleted tons of dreadful old layouts and I've also deleted lots of bad old photos too. If its completely over-exposed and out-of-focus and I've got other better pictures which are similar, why am I keeping it?? Deleted loads of bad kits too. I try not to think about the money I've wasted on bad kits... My Lilypad folder is still bulging of course, though! I do keep the jpegs of layouts that need reworking if the journalling is worth saving though, otherwise I might forget something I'd thought of at the time.

Maybe its because clearing my hard drive can be done whilst sat down with a cuppa, and cleaning the house can't!
 
I don't delete anything EVAH! I save all my old .psd files, all my full res. jpg of LOs and almost all of the kits and stuff I've downloaded. I just know that I'll need it/want it if I ever delete it. :) Storage space is cheap. :)

Ha ha Karen! Me too when it comes to old layouts. I keep them all. I have deleted old supplies though. I have no problem with that!
 
I'm a hoarder also and burn them to CD; I must clear up EHD space for more scrappin' goodies!!! I've also printed everyone of my LOs, and I always get a good laugh lookin' back at my earlier scraps! LOL!
