Hi all, I recently scanned a big batch of old family photo prints and saved each one as a separate PDF so I could keep captions and dates together. Now I have over 50 individual PDF files and want to compress them into a single ZIP folder for easier backup and sharing with relatives. As a beginner, I am not sure what the best free method is that keeps image quality high without bloating the file size. Do any of you scan prints this way, and if so, what tools or workflow do you use to... Read more

English bay in Vancouver is a beautiful place for ship spotting. Now and then, there are strange, low cloud formations that add to the photos. Over the years, I have accumulated lots of them. Here is part 1 of 5 of those I liked the most. Thanks for watching, and have a nice day

This thread idea originated on an old photography forum. The idea is to post an image that matches the previous prompt - and then, give a subject for the next photographer to show. This is purely for fun, and it's fine for us to go through older shots to find one that matches the next subject.

Each turn consists of one photo and, above it, a caption that starts with the letter that comes next. After Z, the series starts over with A. If a player skips letters or repeats letters already posted, a gentle reminder is appropriate. Alternatively, with skipping, other players can supply... Read more
