Photo Printing and Sharing - Comments Page 1

What free site allows you to print several different pictures on one page as opposed to multiple images of the same picture? Any of them?

I've used a photo sharing site for several years called Smugmug ( http://www.smugmug.com ). It features unlimited photos, no ads or spam and great flexibility. Please check it out. I do think it'd be worth a look.

I'd like to upload to a service that lets others download a full-sized (not mini) version of a photo. I think SmugMug lets you but it's a little expensive for what I need. Do any of the others?

I use Shutterfly to store and print my photos. I have been very satisfied with them for about 3 years. I try to get around the shipping fees by waiting until they offer free shipping. I also use their prepaid service to get the lowest per picture cost that I can.

I would like Shutterfly better if I could pick the pictures up at a local location. They have very good support and even shipped 330 new pictures to me because I didn't check the correct box for glossy prints. They started making matte prints the default and I didn't notice.

I use Webshots. Account holders can upload 1000 photos for free, plus allow public or private access to albums. Uploading is easy as is editing albums. Paid members can keep 5000 photos online.

Some sites shrink the file size of your photos. Others save the full resolution file. I find this information important. Is there an easy comparison of sites to see which save full resolution and which do not?

For Marilyn and others who want to print several different pictures on one photo:
You can use Irfanview (free for non-commercial use through http://irfanview.com/) to create thumbnails of any size as a jpg file. Put the pictures that you want printed on one photo in a directory and play with the create thumbnail properties until you get what you want and save it. You can then upload this file to any of the companies that print photos.

I use myphotoalbum.com to post photos. They allow some control (more than most sites) over how the photos are displayed for free (and even more if you pay them). They allow users to look at thumbnails, medium size, and even full size (usually bigger than the screem) images. However they do not allow downloading of images unless you pay them. Also, for free, you can get a unique URL to give to friends to see you pictures, e.g. http://markhoffman.myphotoalbum.com/

Flickr lets you upload photos from a camera phone via email (see http://flickr.com/account/uploadbyemail/) .
