+==== Work Flow from Camera to Web page ====
+The steps to building a web page consist of the following:
+. White balance the camera.
+. Photograph plant and flower views of the violet..
+. Photograph the plant tag after taking pictures of the plant and flower. This is important for consistency - always take the plant tag picture after taking the flower and plant picture.
+. Attach the USB cable and use the download program to load all images into a directory.
+. In ImageDb under the subdirectory Imagedb/Violets/2003/ create a directory for todays date. Under this directory create a directory called Resize.
+. Move the originals into the date directory. Using the ACDC label command (Ctrl-D), label all the violet images with their violet name.
+. Select a good plant and a good flower picture. Crop and resize to a width of 640 and then "Save as" into the resize directory.
+. When all images have been resized, copy the descript.ion file into the resize directory.
+. Run the vb program "Avatar" against the description file in the resize directory. This removes all the entries from the description file of images that were not resized and subsequently copied into the resize directory.
+. Run the thumbnail program selecting a width of 150 and a text prefix of "_" (underscore) for the thumbnails.
+. Run MultiRename to make all image files lowercase.
+. Copy these images into subdirectory Fimages which is under the great violets program directory. On the development machine I use the VbProject directory as a program directory. Some of the other machines use Great Violets under the Program Files directory.
+. Run Great violets and individually enter each flower and plant picture for the violet name. Do not use the program to point to the filename beginning with an underscore. These are the thumbnails and should not be referenced - the program will automatically pick them up.
