Nikon D60 - My New Little Baby
NightHawk:
I think the easiest thing for me to do then George is go through all my picture files, our garden and the Harlow Carr visits, and put the best flowers onto CD/s (or DVD) whichever format you prefer, and send them to you.
I'll get onto that as soon as I can. May take a little while though. :)

Eric has problems with dial-up connection, hence the CD. In your case, email is fine, Laurie.
Heres an idea. How about sending them using GA037 in IG pro - the "Send by E-mail" button.
First you'll have to add the plants to your IG Pro database and libnked to your photos. Hopefully you will already have done that.
Doing it that way, I will have the link to a plant name, and perhaps some data about the plant, if you have time to enter some of the details from the plant labels. That would be almost as nice as a present from Santa!! (You didnt think I was asking him for a camera, did you?? :) You need to be a real good boy to get something like that!)
NightHawk:
It does sound like a good idea George, but the amount of files I will need to send of large Megabyte size going through my ISP/Web Host's Mail Server may not go down too well. They could regard this as Spam activity and query this.
Also, as you are wanting the full-size original photos for the CD I have only used stripped down/cropped versions for my database.
Can't really risk that.

My email account would crack up before your ISP, Laurie. Its a pathetically small disc space, and I pay for it!
I'd need you to send large photos to my gmail account.
In respect of plants for inclusion in the Master Database, do you think a maximum of three per day would work? Plant photos only, of course, and no pressure - just as you get time.
As for Harlow Carr, that would definitely be a CD job. In that case, make a backup to a folder called igdata, anywhere on your hard disc, or Flash.
Then use the Embedder program under Tools, on the backup folder.
It puts all your photo images into the database files, so you'll need ample disk space.
Make folders and sub folders and Burn the CD with this file structure.
d:\igdata_sets\HARLOW CARR\igdata
i.e. drag the igdata (Backup) folder into the igdata_sets folder.
That makes it a SWAP CD, which can be seen whern you use the Data Source pop-up in GA004, etc.
Note that its the same data structure as the Master Database on CD. If you have a copy, have a look at it using My Computer.
