I'm 57, I wish I was born later and able to jump into photography in the digital age as a teen and not have negatives & slide scanning issues.
Well my concern isn't about scanning and could be the same issue to someone who never touched a film camera.
Just a few years ago it seemed simply enough, pictures I take go into the Lightroom catalog, old stuff gets digitized and also goes into Lightroom. But between Lr and google Photos with great camera phones like the Pixel 3 organization is chaos!
So yesterday, Christmas as an example I used my Nikon and my Pixel. I also bought a Moment lens for portraits for the phone but I want RAW images, so I picked up the Nikon with the 105mm on it for that. The normal camera setting on the Pixel 3 allows for RAW.
Okay so now I'm getting lost in my problem. So great, my Pixel pictures get uploaded to Google Photos, the Nikon I add to Lr. It's easy to upload to online services from Lr, but I'm having issues with downloading from Google, between dng files and sometimes using other formats such as the Portrait or night sight. Bottom line if I get all this to Lr, then it's all the editing and then get the edited ones back up to google so when the assistant creates albums or animation it works with the corrected photos.
Maybe this is why I haven't uploaded to my Smugmug account in over a year!
I need a therapist and a seminar, or maybe I'm getting to old to keep up!
