Share Your Digital Photos with Friends and FamilyWritten by Gary Hendricks
Let's say you've taken a bunch of beautiful digital photos and you want to share them with friends and family. What's best way to do this? There are many options, from printing and burning onto CDs or DVDs, to emailing and uploading photos.This article will walk you through some of best options for sharing your treasured digital photo collection. Essentially, there are four main ways to share digital photos: * Printing photos * Storing photos on CD and DVD * Emailing photos * Uploading photos to a website Printing Photos Just like film-based photography, you can share your pictures by having a hardcopy printout. All you need to do is get a good photo printer and some quality printing paper, then print away! I usually print my photos from an inkjet printer (the Canon Pixma iP4000) using glossy photo paper. The prints I get are very high quality - you can't discern them from those you print at photo kiosks. Of course, if you don't have a printer, you can still approach a photo kiosk to do job, or even submit your images to an online photo print website. These websites usually print your pictures and are able to deliver them to your doorstep. Make sure you do some shopping around first - digital photo printing services don't come cheap. Storing Photos on CD and DVD Storing your photos on CD and DVD is a very good option for sharing photos, particularly if you have a immensely huge photo collection. The downside, of course, is that your family and friends need to have a CD player or DVD player to view content. These days, CD burners and DVD burners are very affordable. A single CD-R stores 650MB and a DVD stores 4GB. That is an amazing amount of storage space for your photo collection. Emailing Photos Of course, one option for sharing photos is to email them to to a friend or family member. I do warn you to be careful though. Make sure your recipient would like to receive photos first. Bombarding him or her with a 10MB email containing photo attachments is not a very nice thing to do - it's best if you obtained permission to do so first.
