Smartphone pics. What do you do with them?

[Levina de Ruijter]

What do you do with your smartphone pics? Do you just let them sit on your phone or do you move them to your hard drive (possibly to edit maybe in Lightroom also)?

I ask because I find myself taking more pics with my iPhone than ever before and wonder what to do with them.

It depends on the picture. I'll keep some on the phone, I'll copy others to save. Pictures from iOS need to be very important before I copy to a computer because copying them is such a pain. Other pictures get deletes after I'm done sharing them.

I’m on a Mac, and I use iCloud, so I just drag them from Photos to my desktop.

Interesting. Anything I share, I keep. Or else the only copy I would have is the place where I shared it and if that place ceases to exist, my pic is gone.

Some of what I share are humorous to a small group and don't have artistic merit. One example was a sign my employer posted in various places for "Employee Appreciation Week". One person was fired during that week, and some wag added "Except XXXX" to the signs. Or I have a better image on my camera, but I'm sharing a place some of us have visited in the past.

The iOS ecosphere doesn't play as well with Windoze as much as I would like.

Really? If it's Apple being difficult then that's not smart as many Windows users have an iPhone.
