The transition from photography to the digital age has completely revolutionized the way we consume the image. Cameras, and even more so smartphones, are the instruments that have made photography more accessible, simpler and more user-friendly.
Thanks to emerging technologies nowadays(like motion activated hidden camera or best dash cam etc), your mobile is extremely easy nowadays to capture a moment, an emotion, a landscape, etc.
Social networks like Facebook, Google+, Twitter or Instagram have contributed much to the passion for photos, putting the image at the heart of the exchanges. Same thing for instant messengers like Snapchat, Hangouts, WhatsApp and others.
The abundance of digital photos
The number of digital photos produced has reached stratospheric highs. These are stored on computers, phones, servers … And this is probably the flip side of this abundance. We take little or no advantage of our digital photos because we simply have too much and because it is not very pleasant to watch them in a row on a screen.
Even if it is reassuring to know them preserved indefinitely in digital format, we are never safe from a technical failure that can make us lose everything. There is the solution of printing them yourself and then classifying them patiently. But ink and paper are expensive and there is often a lack of time.
This is where online services offering the creation and printing of photo albums on paper provide a relevant answer to these pitfalls. With a few tens of euros, they allow you to quickly create personalized compositions using very simple tools and then have them printed in all kinds of formats: photo books, posters, calendars, diaries, announcements, cards and even pictures on canvas or picture boards.
We thus find the user-friendliness of the physical support that we take pleasure in sharing, which will decorate the walls or will always be at hand in the shelves of a library.
Online services for creating photo albums
Online services offer many services, but unequal in quality. The offer sometimes lacks clarity and layout tools are not always ergonomic. However, some sure values stand out with an offer that is both complete and very readable. The best services offer easy-to-learn authoring software that offers many possibilities, runs online or downloads on the computer. This makes it possible to prepare the photographs during editing by ensuring that they have sufficient quality for printing on paper.
However, some sites do not offer this possibility and it is then necessary to use its own tools to retouch and improve its upstream snapshots. Competition from this market is fierce and many players, these services evolve a lot, better or worse…
Do not hesitate to visit regularly existing sites and consult the user forums to stay informed of the latest developments. Promotions are as numerous as regular. So, before you start a project, consider consulting the offers of the moment and you will do good business.
However, pay attention to the shipping costs, which are often not included in the price and may increase the price. Some online services offer them starting from a minimum amount, others practice decreasing rates.
