I installed Adobe's Photoshop Album SE yesterday. I was looking for some wrestling photos I have taken recently and I was having trouble finding and organizing them. I also needed to adjust the lighting and resize a few of them before sending. I thought there had to be a better way to organize my photos. I downloaded the SE version a couple of days ago when Acrobat reader told me there was a new reader and asked if I wanted to download both. I was pleasantly surprised. Although I like Adobe's software I find their products to be overpriced. The full version costs $39.95 and the ability to add new categories. I could use the categories to organize my horse photos. Both the SE and full version display the date and time the photo was taken from the EXIF info. You can search for photos based on date, caption, or note. The packaging of the photos into different formats is cute but of limited interest for me. I would like to repeat searches of the network drives and track the copyright also. I will play with it for a few more days before I decide but it has some real potential.

Relax with your family

Basically I am taking today off. My wife and I are meeting a friend for lunch at a new restaurant. I had a craving for a blackened fish sandwich so my wife called the restaurant and asked about the menu. It was not on the menu but the chef said he could whip something up since Mahi was on the menu tonight. Then we are going to the middle school concert my son is playing in. By the time we get home after his wrestling practice it will be time to start dinner. Work will always be here. A relaxing day with family members is highly recommended for the soul.
