In desperation about the hodgepodge of digital photos that were scattered around unorganized in my life, in July 2020, I found info about Caroline Guntur’s DPO PRO class. I signed up and devoted the early Covid-19 lockdown months to working through the modules offered in the class. The class videos were very informative and enlightening. I gathered thousands of digital photos from many locations — old phones, old computers, CDs & DVDs, plus emails & text messages. I went through them all and discarded many duplicates. I formulated a naming convention for pictures, that I have now begun using for all my digital files. Along the way, I had many questions which I emailed to Caroline. Her patience is phenomenal, and her always-attentive care and prompt responses helped me immensely. I also learned so many useful things in this class that were not directly related to organizing photos. For example, I now have an automated system that backs up my entire computer daily, in addition to a cloud-based backup system that I already used. For me, the cost of the DPO PRO class was a hefty financial investment, but it has already been worth every penny. Caroline is a wonderful teacher, and I think of her as a friend, though we have never met.

Caroline helped me finally organize 20 years of images, in various formats, scattered across multiple locations and devices - a task I had been wanting to accomplish for years, but was completely overwhelmed about how to begin. I had three iPhoto libraries and didn’t know which one was the most current or had the most images, plus I had images saved in several Dropbox folders, a few thumb drives, my computer hard drive, two external hard drives, an iPad and two years of images on my iPhone. I also had images in an Aperture library, a program that doesn’t exist anymore so I didn’t know how to access them. I’m a reasonably “techie” person, but reading online articles about how to begin sorting through them always left me feeling overwhelmed. None of the step-by-step articles applied to me and my specific needs...Finally, I have ONE image library for all my images, all organized so I can quickly find any image I want, and with the peace of mind that all my images are constantly backed up and secure... I never would have been able to figure out how to do this alone. It is the best money I have spent in a long time!
