photoshare questions

[cheese_diva]

Hi Girls!

The only problem I found was the photo cds were expensive through Snapfish.. many of my friends uploaded their photos for everyone to see but then also burned me a cd so I would have the hires files.. A CD through Costco.com is only like $3 or less so I did have one friend upload there (she couldn't figure out how to burn on her computer.) The price per print just went down to 9cents on Snapfish.. I have thousands to print.. still need to put them in albums.. lol next big project.

check out picasa.com. it is free from google. If you set the web album to public, people can download your pics for free. It is also possible to order prints from them as well.

I used Kodak and gave everyone the email address and password to upload them.

 

The reason I used Kodak was because my guests could email the link from the group account to themselves and then log in with their own account information and all of the pictures would be in there account for them to order if they wanted.

I just bought 1000 prints for snapfish off ebay for $13. They came as 40 codes I had to enter into my about for 25 prints each (or something like that if my math is off). It didn't take long though using the back button & copy & paste. They were from something called "blockbuster rewards." Last I checked the same seller was still selling 1000 for $13 buy it now.

I just checked on ebay & there are plenty of these auctions going on. Many are buy it nows so you know what you'd be paying.

I am so confused on what site the best to do this photosharing business.

 

I think I am "decision burnt out". I honestly can't decide on anything lately!

We used Kodak, and so far its been great! For $2.95/month you can download the high resolution images, which was important to us. The download is actually pretty fast, and our guests loved the photoshare idea!

Thanks for the response, Jenn. So you just set up an account (example "CarlyandMatt") and gave them the site and password? I am glad to hear actual feedback form someone who has used it for this purpose. Makes it more likely that I will choose Kodak...
