what to do with digital photos

kt2

I have hundreds of them from vacations and random shots of the kids at various ages. What do you do with them? All I've done so far is upload them to walmart.com to share the album with people....

Oh, I'm not in to scrapbooking....

I don't scrapbook either. I bought hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of it when I was pregnant with my first and I have not one page completed.

I upload them to shutterfly and order books of the pictures from time to time. I also share albums with family who live far away and get them printed out and frame them.

You can make an 8x10 collage on Wal Mart.com. You can add up to 20 pictures and it places them on the page for you. It's really cheap too, like $3 a sheet.

I might do this with all of O's pictures. We have hundreds... pathetic I know! I thought about doing a collage for each month and then putting them in an albumn.

I take them to walmart and print copies of the ones I really like and then put them in photo albums.  No scrapbooking involved I simply put them in albums.  This way I have pictures on disk, on the computer and in print.

We made a book from Shutterfly of his first week, it's great and was sooo easy to make.

My only advice is to just make sure to back them up to an external hard drive, disks, and to a photo website.  Shutterfly offers free unlimited storage and the time doesn't expire.  I believe Walmart deletes albums after so many days, at least they used to.

It's devasting to lose photos, and I know I'd be a wreck if I lost all my photos of my LO.  That's the bad thing about digital.  Make sure you have some hard copies (prints)...

I made a share site on shutterfly.  Basically it's a website where you can upload all of your pictures to share with friends and family.  It's nice because it's like an actual website, but much easier.  I also like that you can order prints directly from there, so now when annoying MIL tells me all of the pictures she wants for herself and everyone she can think of, I tell her to go to the website cuz she can order what she wants there!  haha

This.  I lost ALL my photos from 2005-May 2009. There were at least a thousand pics if not more of all my holidays, my college days, when my DH and I moved into our first house, our first christmas in the new house, everything.   I had them all uploaded onto my computer but did not back them up on any other form except what I had on myspace and facebook.  My computer hard drive broke and I lost everything....all my papers from college, all my pics, all my videos I took on my camera.  I cried for literally 2 weeks straight and still cry when I think about it.  I learned my lesson the hard way.

We have a Mac with a program called iPhoto.  You can load them up there and store them in albums.

That's awful. I had lost some of my photos too and same thing...they were only on Facebook and MySpace. And that's no use for making decent quality prints as they shrink them a lot when you upload.
