Sorry, should have added: She has a Macbook, and DPP is only installed on my HP desktop downstairs. Yes, I have told her that she can just go downstairs and look at my computer, but hey, what are you gonna do.

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.

Not at all. It absolutely kills me to keep bad photos around. It's torture. I feel like they should die a quick death with the strike of a delete button. Keeping even the medium-well, so-so, and middling photos causes me angst. But when it comes to family photos, I know my wife will want to keep everything.
This is one of those things where one of you has to demonstrate sacrificial love. Either you torture yourself by letting the bad photos live, or she tortures herself by letting them die. I think it should be you.
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.
My wife and I are cracking up reading this! I can't tell you how many times I have been told, "Don't delete ANYTHING until I see all of your pictures!" I ALWAYS tell her to let me weed out the bads and then you can see but she can be very persistentIf 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!

Hilarious!!!
I agree with your decision, only show the "good" photos dump the rest. You are the pro, give'em the professional results.
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.
