What's new

What do you do with your extra photos?

I tend to just keep them in their date/event folders to come back to for regular pages when the mood hits me :)... or the right kit comes along to inspire me. I tag them all so I can find them with tags. After some time, years run into each other and it's hard for me to find by date.

I do delete a lot of "extras" when I download. I tend to take 3 photos in a row for example of the same thing, and I'll delete all but one. And of course the terribly poor quality photos go right away.

However, I have learned not to delete quite as much b/c I find that years later, photos that I originally would have trashed, I come to love.
 
Are you talking about random single photos or additional photos of events documented in your PL pages?

Additional photos I will sometimes use make event type albums. I do at least a couple more detailed albums each year. We have a place in Michigan and I do a separate album with pretty much every single photo I take when we're there. I do more detailed trip albums too. I also keep meaning to make a dance album for my daughter (but that hasn't happened yet).

Randoms... I tried this last month...

I added them at the end of my January pages in my PL album. I think I like the idea, so I plan on doing this all year.

Nothing. :D Right now I'm using about 99% photos from my phone, so none of them are spectacular enough to do anything with. This weekend I did actually get my camera out and took photos at a birthday party with that, and I will scrap those later I think.

When the weather warms up and we are outside and I'm taking "real" photos, I'm not sure what I'll do. Keep them in their folders until I scrap them (if I scrap them) probably.
 
This is my problem why I struggle with PL. I have so many photos from city trips, baseball games, partys, school events and I always want to include all...And this doesn't work with PL...
I will follow this thread, maybe I get some ideas...
 
I keep them. For big events I always make separate layouts. Sometimes later, but I always get to it eventually.
 
I scrap them if they are scrap worthy, otherwise they just reside in my photo Screensaver. I'm phobic about deleting - I can't do it. :p
 
I usually keep them and have done little inserts where I have scrapped them, or even just made a collage of them, so that they are printed and in an album. They usually go either in the middle of the week or at the end of the month in my album.
