I upload my digital photos to iPhoto. I get film processed and burned to cd (no prints). Then I upload whatever is worthy, and then some, to flickr. It’s great. Except for one thing. The proof sheet (and I mean the 8×10 kind on real photo paper) is not part of the experience anymore.<\/p>\n

On the left is a Photoshop-generated proof sheet from photos shot on film with my Nikon F3. Not bad. But it lacks the film type and frame number information. It just looks like a sad substitute for a REAL proof sheet. I’m sure there’s a program out there that would generate a more realistic pfoof sheet using a portion of the EXIF data or custom fields. I just haven’t found it yet. In fact I haven’t even looked for it, choosing to rant first.<\/p>\n

On the right is a proof sheet from digital photos that I made by hand. I like the type slightly better than the one made with Photoshop.
\nBut it’s still not quite there yet. But it still provides a bit of that proof sheet experience to see all the photos small in one place on a black background. I guess the next step is representing the grease-pencil circles of the best frames. I’ll keep at it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
