How does Shutterfly help quilters? One person's handy tips:
When I make a quilt, I’m always using my digital camera to take snapshots of
my work in process. It helps me keep track of the design as I make changes to it. I can
always go back to where it was if I liked the earlier version better. I also shot a final
photo of the finished quilt as a record before giving it as a gift. So, I have a hard
drive full of my quilt shots.
One day, was my eldest daughter, Sarah, gave me this great idea of an easy way to make
digital prints of my quilt copy shots and put them into photo albums. She told me about
this great new digital photo service called Shutterfly and a nifty product called a Snapbook.
So, now I simply take my digital camera and plug it into my computer. Upload the images
directly to Shutterfly.
Then, I create a Snapbook of my quilt portfolios. It’s so easy! You collect your
photos and arrange them in an album online with just a few mouse-clicks. Snapbooks are
bound into a mini album with one photo plus a description printed on each page. The best
part is, they are so affordable that I get duplicate Snapbooks to send to friends and
family and also prospective quilt buyers to show them my work.
Shutterfly does film processing, too
I only wish I knew about it when I was still shooting on film because Shutterfly processes
color film and puts the images online the same way the do for digital images. I could have
saved a small fortune that way. Shutterfly film processing costs much less than the one-hour photo labs and I don’t have to pay
for the bad shots, only the prints I want. It’s simple. You just get film mailers and
send them your rolls for processing. Shutterfly will develop your film, put your pictures
in your online account so you can review and share them. They send your negatives back to
you. They even send you an email alert that tells you when the pictures are in your
account so you can sign in and order the prints you want.
Time saved is time to get creative
The best part of going digital and discovering Shutterfly is I actually have time to think
of lots of creative new ways to use the pictures I am taking. It’s been an amazing
experience. I’ve rediscovered the fun of photography.
Why I waited so long and wasted so much paper and ink before trying Shutterfly, I’ll
never understand. Now, I can’t even imagine taking and using pictures any other way.
