ACOT Message Board

Ugh!  I have all of my projects ready for the TT tomorrow.  Monday I was recovering from the 4 day crop and waited until Tuesday to start taking pictures.   I got 1 done and edited before we had to pick up the grandkids after school.   So yesterday I tried to load more onto my computer and they won't load!!! NOOOO!  I tried the camera cards (2 of them) in both of my computers and it won't load in either so I know it's not the "reader" on the computer.  The cards are relatively new and since I tried both and neither works, I don't think it's the cards.  I get a flash- like photo for a second that looks like it's going to load and then nothing.  So, my photos tomorrow will be with my phone and not sure how they will turn out.  I am so frustrated.  I was up until 3 this morning trying to figure it out.

Take a deep breath, Pally!  I'm sure the pics will be fine!  It's going to be an awesome day!

Oh no. The iPhone cameras have gotten really good and I photo about half my projects that way. Should be fine. But I do hope you get the issue figured out.

Super frustrating, and I’m sorry you were up all night trying to work this out ! It’s going to be wonderful !!!  Everyone just wants to have the fun and camaraderie that you have planned! It’s going to be just fine!!!  Xxoo 

Hang in there, Vicki. It will all work out. I take all my layout photos with my phone, anymore.

How frustrating! Technology is NOT my friend.

ugh technology! 

but really, don't sweat the small stuff.  we're here for the fun and inspiration--we aren't going to be critiquing the quality of your photos, i promise!!  

Like the other cherries, it'll be alright. I take all of my photos with my phone, so I'm sure your photos are going to fine. Take a deep breath, curse at technology and keep on truckin'!

Me too.  It just makes the process longer because I send the photos to my computer so I can edit them in PE.

I used to do that, now I edit them on my phone. If I scan it or photograph with with a regular camera, then I still edit on my computer. I've gotten proficient at editing with my thumbs but they're not nearly as precise as the mouse with the bigger screen.

Technology is great until it does not work. I feel your pain. I'm sure your phone pics will be just fine. I hope you got some rest.

I hate technology! I also use my phone for all my photos. I use the scan option, save to photos and then upload to my gallery. I haven't figured out how to edit so it is what it is 

 

Awwwwww Vicki! I HATE THAT for you!!! I am NO stranger to technical issues myself! I wish I could help! I rebuke the glitches and hope they start working!

I am so sorry your are frustrated.   Technology is not my friend either.  It will definitely  be alright. I'm  just so glad you offered this trot.  Looking forward  to a fun day tomorrow.
