How do I view my images?
When you first login to your account, click on either the “My New Rolls” or “My Albums” link. These links are located on the left-hand side of the page. The “My New Rolls” link will take you to the area in our website where you can view the rolls that have been uploaded . Once there, simply click on the new roll you wish to open and view. The “My Albums” link will take you to your previously created albums where you can click on the album you wish to open and view.
Is it possible to view images larger than thumbnails?
Absolutely. When you first login to your account, you will see your images as small thumbnails within the “my new rolls” and/or “my albums” sections. Click on the roll or album you wish to view. To see the medium resolution size of a particular image, simply click on the image that you wish to enlarge or select the “View” link beneath the desired image. The medium resolution image will then appear in the middle of your screen.
How and why should I move my pictures into albums?
As soon as your images are uploaded they will appear in the “My New Rolls” section of the website for you to preview. From there it is easy to move or copy your images into albums for you to share,organize and edit. Simply create and title a new album by clicking on “Create Album”. Return to “My New Rolls” and select each image you wish to place in that album by clicking a checkmark in the small select box directly below each image, or simply use the “Select all images in album” function near the top of the screen. While the images are selected, click on “Copy/Move” in the upper-right corner of the screen. The “Move” function will take the selected images out of new rolls and place them into albums, while the “Copy” function will leave the selected images in the new rolls section and duplicate them in the new album as well. Choose one of these functions and then select the album you have created and click on the gray “Copy/Move” button at the bottom of the screen. Now that your images are placed in albums, you can add titles and captions to both albums and individual images by using the “Edit” feature, and then organize your photos by moving them between albums. You can now share this album with friends and family through e-mail using the “Share Album” and/or “Send Postcard” links. To keep your account organized, it is usually best to transfer your images into albums soon after they are uploaded. This allows you to organize, share, and edit them right away while leaving an open space for your new rolls to be uploaded. To keep your albums manageable, we recommend limiting individual album sizes to 100 images or less.

What does file size, or image resolution mean?

If you are uploading images to our site directly, we maintain the original resolution of each image that you upload. Please check your digital camera or your digital scanner to determine the resolution of your images.
