Just because you're not showing everybody all your pictures doesn't mean you have to delete them. If you like them, keep them for yourself! That's really who you're taking them for anyway. Plus you may find some select groups who really do want to see all your pictures of a certain subject. I took about 300 pictures of those chipmunks and kept about 30. I would never include all 30 if I was showing someone pictures of that trip, but on occasion the subject of chipmunks has come up and I've quickly flipped through them all for someone. Everybody always has a different favorite so I keep them all. Hi Zolton, You bring up a very good point.

I suppose I should start with trying out the software already installed on my computer. :) Thanks for the reminder! Soultravers3 - I agree, you can make some fantastic personalized gifts with your travel photos. Lately, I've been trying out Shutterfly.com for printing and have been very impressed. I've just been getting prints for myself, but they have a ton of options for letting you design your own cards. I have friends who use it every year for their holiday cards and that's what got me turned on to it. They always look great. iMovie! Of course.

We always make calendars and photo books for our family for gifts like at Christmas or birthdays. It is fun and they really love it. We are on an open ended tour, so it allows them to come with us in a way or have us there. Great advice!

You can make a whole slideshow with music in iPhoto or export it to iMovie and add extra transitions and titles. It's a simple workflow but you can do some powerful things with it.

If you're new to videos and music, iMovie is perfect especially if you use iTunes and iPhoto because they're integrated into iMovie! good software for the mac?
