dinny Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I don't know why I never thought of this before!!! Just got an offer from Shutterfly for free digi-prints. Honestly, I am just like those commercials with the kids asking mom to get the photos printed. But I went and looked anyway. Well... they let you upload unlimited photos. So I thought... why not use this as a backup site for my photos. And it's FREE!!! There's that lightbulb!! I didn't see any restrictions for purchasing. And maybe they will change this after I upload my 60 GB of photos!! But it certainly is worth looking into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betsy Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 If you don't order prints from them after a certain time period, they'll delete your albums. But if you plan to order prints every once in a while, you'll be OK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinny Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 I can certainly afford to buy a few prints every so often. I did order some (they were all free) and they look rather nice. They use FUJI Crystal Archive paper (which is good). And they also stamp a message on the back of the print, which you can add a message. I leave the file #, date, and add a tiny bit of journalling. Try doing THAT with film! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericahite Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I wonder if there's a way to get the high res image again after you upload it?? Erica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinny Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 hmmmmm, hadn't thought of that. Guess it seemed too good to be true! But, at least you could print it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momentousangel Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I usually order digital prints via snapfish. They always turn out so nice through them as well. I did order some via shutterfly a few weeks ago and was actually just as pleased with them as I was with the prints I usually get from snapfish. Maybe it's more of the idea that I didn't have to print them myself, . Nah, seriously though, some of the photo printing sights also give you an option to order your photo's on cd's, for those who don't have a cd burner this is a great thing. I've never ordered from anywhere to have photo's printed for me, but I was truly tempted when I didn't have a cd burner, (at least that was until I figured out that by the time I ordered cd's of all of the photos I had on my computer at that time that I could actually get a cd burner). But I am tempted to give it a shot to send to family and friends in the future, especially after sitting at the computer burning the same files over and over again of nothing but photos.

Guest DeeZee Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I have an account at ClubPhoto, and, although I do pay for it ... I get enough free prints with the account that it almost pays for itself. They have an option to get all the high res photos on Cd .. of course you pay for it, but I could at least access my photos if I needed to. now to just get them all uploaded :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
