I only had a few pictures (and lots of graphs) and I definitely remember having to learn bits of a graphic programming languages to create them in the right format to insert. That was not so much fun.
And then there was the one graph that took over 10 hours to make because I had to enter all of the several thousand data points by hand. After I did all that I learned how to import into Excel and use tab delimiters to seperate columns and then convert back into dat files, which required zipping back and forth between two computers (Windows and Linux) and learning how to use my Pine account - oh god. The aggravation. That and some of the files created by my program had upwards of 100,000 data points which is too big for Excel to open so I had to open them in Notepad and break them into smaller files by hand and then reintegrate them ---
