Jorundr-Jorgensen....what's the big deal? Consider yourself lucky she's interested in all the photos you produce. My wife becomes bored after about a 1/2 dozen or so....I now only show her what I consider my best shots from a shoot and limit that number to the 1/2 dozen.
Next time burn a disk and give it to her....
Here's a theory that's become an axiom in our house after 24 years....If she's (he's) happy, I'm happy. It's amazing how much tension this has blocked over the years....of course this axiom doesn't work if you're going to be a "stubborn hardhead"....you need to step back and be flexible.
Good luck
Their standard is always lower than ours, I'd show them everything.

Jorundr-Jorgensen,
I have the opposite problem. My wife frowns at me if I try to keep all the pictures. Maybe it's because she's and engineer ;-)

I started out on the Oh my I can't delete that, it might be useful kick, but the pendulum has slowly moved me more & more to the delete key as i've shot more & more photos the last few years.
I guess I'm lucky that my family pretty well trusts me to cull the bads & leave the "keepers."
Good luck earning that.... some people just don't trust others or want to experience it ALL. I agree w/ the above to let the yoursignificantother keep them on her computer, if possible.

I ALWAYS tell her to let me weed out the bads and then you can see but she can be very persistent :) If she REALLY wants me to keep a shot that I don't approve of I'll often let her have her way but she has proven to be very accepting of my NEED to delete pictures that I don't feel are up to snuff.
Good luck!

That's the problem with DSLRs. Even the bad ones look good.......

Peace first, then justice.
Don't worry, just go round a couple of times on your Canon. (0-9999) The number of real keepers will drop. Trust me.
