Lately I tried a new photo printing service. Caroline photography, that’s what it’s called. They offer not only photo printing, but also photography services like wedding, graduation, birthday, indoor and outdoor photography. Although they are new in town, they are very professional in their service. When we brought the CD containing our photos that we wanted to print, they greeted ...

While shopping one day we came across this novelty photo studio called Magenta Studio Photo in Vaughn Mills Mall (that HUGE outlet mall north on the 400 near Canada’s Wonderland). They are a hip new photo studio and they can take all sorts of novelty pictures like kid as angel, butterflies, drummer, in bowls of flowers, with sunflowers, etc. I spent over an hour looking at their portfolio...

My children gave my hubby and I this beautiful crystal photo cube for our anniversary present.  It has the etched picture of the two of us from a Hawaiian Luau.  I know the picture is hard to see but if you can imagine a clear crystal with an etching inside of it.  If you look at the side view you can see how the etching was inserted.  I have a stand with lights for it ...

Being a genealogist means I spend a lot of time printing documents and especially copying photos. I've tried many different photo papers, some good, some lousy. Having worked in a photo shop, I have been very familiar with Kodak products for years and like the products they put out. This is true with the premium photo paper.  It dries immediately and the pictures are very goo...

Since getting into photography recently, I have been spending a lot of time looking at my photos on my computer, but I haven't gotten prints much.  I kept hesitating, because I tried a few photo print places, and they all seemed to change the colors on my prints when I wanted them to be just as I had taken them.I decided to try to print out a couple of black & white and sepia tone ...

I like unique things: both for myself and to give as gifts. One such item is my reflective photo coasters. I got two sets as a gift and they have always gotten great reactions from everyone who sees them. So much in fact, I have since bought four sets for friends as gifts and another set for myself!WHAT MAKES THESE COASTERS SPECIAL?Instead of using plain, boring coasters (or even worse, letting...

I had never tried making a photobook before last year when I won an online contest for a free one from Shutterfly. I had always wanted to make one and thought it would be the perfect gift for my daughter to give her father as a Christmas present since I got all the photos of her growing up when we divorced. My daughter helped me upload photos we had on our computer and camera and we scanned in ...

Last Christmas I uploaded about 200 pictures onto Walmart's photo printing site.  I was going to make a few small photo albums, and include photos in Christmas cards.  The price was relatively comparable to other services in town (Target, Walgreens) so I decided to use Walmart since that is where I do a lot of my shopping. The first problem I had with the prints is I was under the...

I bought this photo editing software a couple of years ago and have found it very useful and simple to use for photo editing.  The system requirements are: Windows 95,98, NT, 2000, Me or XP, Pentium 166 or faster microprocessor, 32 MB RAM & CD-ROM Drive. They have since upgraded the software to 3.0 with even more features. This makes editing my photos simple and fun.  I am able to...

Shutterfly is a great service.  They offer photo printing in many forms, shapes, and sizes.  You can print your standard wallet to the size of a poster (20x30).  They almost always have some type of deal going on whether it be free prints or free shipping, there is always something available to lower the price of your order.  Their online service allows you to eaily upload h...

I've been fixing up some Paris theme gifts for my twenty year old daughter for Valentine's Day.  Recently she took a trip to Europe (primarily England) and took lots of pictures. Since she likes the Paris motif, I purchased a set of two photo albums that have the Eiffel Tower on the front and back covers. Each album holds 200 4" by 6" photos.I have also purchased a round ...

I realized recently that our dozens of photo albums were taking up a great deal of storage space and set about trying to find a solution.  While browsing at Bed, Bath & Beyond last week I happened upon the VuPoint Digital Photo Converter.  This is a small plastic box that attaches to your computer via a USB cable.  You then place your photo into a small plastic frame, insert ...

  I bought a new printer because I felt my current one was losing some of the quality.  This has great quality and prints very colorful photos.  My main purpose for getting a printer was not to print photos, though, so I probably should have gotten something else.  I do like this printer because it does print fast and I can change the quality of the print.  I can tell i...

I've used numerous photo services to have photo books printed, in fact I was pretty loyal to a different brand until the Summer of 2007 when I got a code for a free book from shutterfly.com.   So, I created the book online and then waited a few days to receive my book.  I was very impressed when I opened the box.  Here are some of the things I like about the shutterfly.c...

This rating means that this paper is supposed to print high quality, durable photos. The pho paper size is 8 X 10. There are 20 pages per package.Epson's Premium Photo Paper Glossy is supposed to by fast-drying and smudge r...

I had been wanting to purchase a digital photo frame for months, and couldn't find a digital frame that I considered good looking. Most of what I came across was either too fake looking, too plastic looking, too clunky, or just straight up ugly. However while browsing my local Sam's Club I came across a high resolution digital photo frame by ADS. The ADS Digital Photo Frame - 8".Th...

I got the Epson Stylus Photo 1400 photo printer for Christmas and this and have been very impressed with the quality of the prints I've been getting from it. I can just put matte paper in it and I get high quality prints so, that way I can save money because matte paper is a lot cheaper than glossy. Also, I like how it can print up to 13x19 photo prints and how it can also print labels on C...

Before I owned a Dell printer, I owned a HP and I was very pleased.  I had no idea that not all printers were as easy to use an HP.  I thought that since Dell is a big name, it would be easy to find printer part and cartridges, if need be.  But, it is very difficult to buy cartridges for the Dell printer.  It is a very attractive printer, but slightly on the “fli...
