  • Sachi Ezura - This is interesting, but there is an easier way. Look at the pictures on this website fb.me/2y4SdQvjB. I learned how to do the same in 2 days. It turns out very easy 🙂 Now I process photos to friends by $ 5 per photo and earn $ 50-70 for 4-5 hoursReplyCancel

  • Kim - Hi! Congrats on your new baby girl! Just a quick question… Do you by chance use Lightroom Mobile? If so, which size iPad do you recommend, mini it iPad Air. I am needing a new iPad and while I love the size of the mini, I’m also toying with the option of a bigger iPad to use for culling photos and slight edits in Lightroom mobile. Thanks!ReplyCancel

    • {beth} a-dilly - Hello Kim! I actually bought an iPad mini first, and then ended up getting an iPad Air 2, as I liked the bigger screen. However, I do not edit on either and don’t use Lightroom Mobile. Enjoy shopping!ReplyCancel

  • Jennifer Kaiser - This is perfect! Plus, what a brilliant blog post idea!ReplyCancel
