[Hidden-tech] Photo Organization

[Karen Blinderman]

Thanks to all for your guidance! I have Picasso - so that's one off the
to-do list. I appreciate the information regarding orginals vs. copies and
vs. copies of copies.

Best,
Karen

Direct digital copies are bit-for-bit identical -- this is one of the
important *features* of digital storage (and is the bane of copyright
