Alpha, I'm assuming you don't use digital at all. The digicams can transfer their Exif info (all the shooting info) with their RAW (in Canon) or .jpegs. I can also 'attach' that data to .tiffs by some skullduggery that a nice German photographer showed me. As for the furniture photos. My husband is a freelance designer who does merchandising and showroom design for several furniture companies. I am 1/2 time professional textile designer/weaver, etc.--and 1/2 time work with him. After the latest international furn. market here in NC, I photographed all the settings (many) for our own archives (as I've been doing for awhile). Of course I couldn't leave them alone and adjusted color/lighting, cropped, etc.-- put them on a CD and the VP/merchandising got hold of the CD. She preferred my photos to the pro they had doing them (with a 4 person crew--but also digital). His were wonderful technically, but she preferred my 'ambiance'--the way I 'told a story', etc. so I'm hired to do all their 'temporary' shots for the next markets (temp shots go to their salesmen as sales tools until catalogue comes out with revision--maybe 6 mos.). I will also produce CDs for them (for clients to review market), etc. They have discovered I'm a good resource for all computer graphics type things S. I assume he will do catalogue shots--that's not something I'm capable of nor have the studio/equipment. Diane
