Online Photo Processing Another way to print your digital photos is to use an online photo processing service. Some of the best web sites are: With an online photo processing service you can upload (transfer a file from your computer to theirs) a picture to them and they will print it and mail it back to you. They can even mail prints to your friends and relatives. Some of these services will also put photos on items like coffee mugs and t-shirts. Online Photo AlbumsAnother benefit to these online photo services is the ability to save your pictures in online photo albums. If you save your pictures in online albums then all your family and friends can visit the album anytime they want. You will then save time by not having e-mail individual pictures to everyone. To see a sample of an online photo album visit my pictures of the 2001 Colorado Springs Balloon Classic. Tip: If you would prefer to stick with traditional film cameras you can still get some of the benefits of digital photography by having an online photo processing service develop your film. Some of these services will develop your film, return your negatives and post your pictures in your account ready for you to make online photo albums and have prints made. It can be an economical way to have your developing and prints made because you do not have to pay for prints that you don't want. Also, if you are an American Online user you can use AOL's You've Got Pictures. When you drop off your film at the drug store check the box to have your pictures sent to your AOL account. You will pay extra for the service but all your pictures will be in digital form and ready to e-mail to family and friends. ConclusionI hope that you now have a better understanding of digital photography. I have had my digital camera for a few months now and enjoy the fact that I can take photos anytime I want without worrying about the cost of film or developing. I also always have my photos available to e-mail family and friends and to post on my web site. Happy photos!
