OUCH!!!

Hmm, maybe I could combine both suggestions I just got in this thread and put photos on a CD-ROM and sell those? I have to take those original TIF files the camera creates and convert them to JPG. The JPG files don't hold a candle to the original TIF files.

On of these days I'll write a book, but not anytime real soon. I've had lots of people asking me to do so, since I have kind of a different perspective of all this than most other people.

Dunno, Rich... some people may appreciate the TIFF files as much as the JPEGs. Although you can probably get someone to do the conversion for you... it's not like it's particularly difficult or strenuous work (though they may get carpal tunnel!)

But yeah, cornsnake photos on CDs would be awesome.

oh hell yeah Rich! $10/cd... I'd buy 'em! Tiff or otherwise!

I mean, even at a Meg per image... that's still 600-700 per CD.

Just make sure you sell the CD copyright protected for personal non-commercial use only - although please don't put watermarks on the images. You can insert copyright notice into the file without it overlaying the image

As for the format (Tiff)... most of the raster graphics clip-art & Photo CDs I've bought in the past (as opposed to vector graphics) are all TIFF anyway.

It's "the standard" cross-platform format (Windows, Macintrash *nix).

So yeah, I'm all for TIFF

But, if you've got Photoshop. Once you've burned each CD. You can always do a "batch convert" of all the images on the CD to a new directory. Sell 'em in both formats. Jpeg (for the casual browsers of images) and TIFF (for those with decent graphics software)

Tenacious_Ash: I'm a little unsure about that cam- it just looks so tiny. One of the reviews said that the picture quality is only good in bright conditions. Do you have one? If so, can you post some pics? Thanks.

i am skint neil. i am saving for one though. I have seen someone use it inside before, and the picture quality was good, there is another camera, which has a flash on, and the picture on the reviews bit are good quality, from such a small camera...HERE and it acts as a camcorder too! it is a real good one. see if you like that one

Just five? Burn baby, burn. (Err, excuse me. CD burners do
have that effect on me.) You could fir the whole mess on,
say, eight CDs easily, which would all fit into two of those nifty
cd jewel cases. 'Course, then there's still the problem of
letting us see all these lovely sweet babies... perhaps you could
sell CD copies?

Cheers,

Rich, if you plan on gettin a new harddrive or two, check out the 8mb cache versions of the new Western Digital harddrives.

I have 1 80gig WD w/ the 8mb cache, teamed up w/ my 60g. Gotta get another 80 tho

But they are excellent drives and fairly low in price. the 80 is only $195 CDN

I'd just like to say that I'd buy a CD of photos the different morphs. It would be great to have hatchling and adult pics. And buying the CD would never stop me from buying the book if it ever gets written!
