Ande43 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Do you guys save your PSD files??? I currently have all of mine on an EHD....are there good reasons to save or not to save???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Showers Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I save mine. Sometimes I find typos I want to fix. Occasionally something will just bother me and I'll open it up and change it. I've grabbed pretty clusters out of my layouts and copied them to a new page before too. I will delete them if it is something I really don't like anymore.

SodScrap Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I save mine too. (for the same reasons April stated) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becster Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I save mine as well. Just for the "what-if-I-lose-something" factor. I actually realized recently that there was an embellishment folder I'd never unzipped for a product and fortunately it was right there for me to find.

lindarobin Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Keeping a PSD file is advisable IF you intend to go back and change something or use most of the layers again for another layout. After a couple of years, if I've not found any reason to go back to it, I delete it. I've got my flattened file and all my digital photos saved, so I'm not losing anything, but I'm getting back a lot of disk space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinnyW Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I save all of mine too... Just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ande43 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 I'm sure I will just hang on to them.....have been thinking of going back and resizing to a 6x6 and making special albums for each of the grandsons....I too have found typo's now and then so have been glad I have them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheri T Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Compulsive saver here for all the above reasons. Plus another reason - When compiling images for my mother-in-law's funeral slide show of pictures and the Shutterfly photo book I'm now making with all those images, I have used several older layouts with her in them...but I have added and changed things, used different journaling, different photos, etc. So even though I hadn't touched some of those .psd files in 5 years they really really came in handy.

CRS Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I have all of mine as well, but as my current, portable ehd is filling up, I'll probably delete my psd files on it and just keep them on my main ehd backup. I hate to delete anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrapGram Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I save mine on DVDs, but the tech guy at Staples recently told me that DVDs are going by the wayside and everyone is going to thumb drives. I just bought a 1TB EHD so I might transfer them to it for all of above reasons. I have only been digitally scrapping for about 2 years, so I am thinking at some future point I will probably delete the old ones if I haven't gone back to them for awhile. I print most of my pages. Probably won't ever delete the ones I don't print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapgran Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Mine are saved to EHD but it is fast filling up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraC1977 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I rarely delete anything that requires WORK to recreate. My staff has a folder on the server labeled "BecauseWeNeverDeleteAnythingHere." Disk drives keep getting cheaper, and I just make a backup and keep going.

jhbren Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I save mine, including the working file where I've recorded the supplies and techniques I used, because I consult the information more often than the layout itself. They're on an EHD for awhile; periodically I copy them to DVDs, and weed out the EHD. There are many layouts which I haven't printed for myself; they're in my grandchildren's albums, or wedding albums - albums I don't have, so I want to be able to look at them occasionally. But I could do all this with flattened files! Maybe it's time to simplify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieGrace Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I've kept all of mine so far but those files are huge. I think I will weed out a few that I have printed and see no further use for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
