It's the o...Gosh - are they backed up already?<br /><br />It's the opening and closing which does the damage. i'm not too sure about just straight copying without opening them<br /><br />I guess it depends on how much it matters to you that they are all in pristine condition - and probably how much time you;ve got. Believe me converting 26k of files to TIFF is not going to be quick. There's no way you can do it as a batch job - several batch jobs possibly depending on the software you use.<br /><br />Bear in Mind TIFF are huge files. My TIFFs files multiply size wise by a fact of about 10.<br /><br />I just make sure I transfer the ones I use for prints as TIFF Files.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-65498415969416418732010-03-22T13:59:33.129+00:002010-03-22T13:59:33.129+00:00I have over 26,000 pictures saved on my computer, ...I have over 26,000 pictures saved on my computer, which I am about to back up onto an external hard drive very soon.
