your photos on our web site. You can create custom albums and invite
all your friends and family from anywhere in the world to view them
online. Order all the reprints and enlargements that you would like
to have, then simply choose to pick them up at our retail store or have
them mailed to you. There is a $15 minimum order requirement on mail
orders.
How do I register for this service?
Simply fill out the online registration form and select your customized
password, which will give you exclusive access to your private images
and albums.
How much does this service cost
and what do I get?
Our basic service is free. You can upload an unlimited number of photos
for editing, sharing and printing. If you wish to keep a photo on our
service for more than 60 days, you will need to purchase long term storage.
How do I pay for this service?
Any service that you order online can be paid for with major credit
cards issued by Visa or MasterCard.
How can I add long term storage?
At any time simply login and click on the "Storage" bar on
the upper left side of the screen to view whether you have purchased
long term storage. Long term storage provides you with the ability to
keep your images on the site for more than 60 days. This provides you
a safe and secure place to preserve your images. If something happens
to your PC or your hard drive, your images will still be saved.
How long does it take to view my
pictures online?
If you upload your images directly from your personal computer, you
can start experiencing the benefits of online imaging immediately.
How do I place my images online?
Once you have registered for online imaging services, you can view your
images online by doing the following:
1) Upload your digital files from your own computer. You may do this by downloading your images into your PC from your digital camera, flatbed scanner or film scanner and then use the multi-file upload utility on our website to transfer all of your images to our image archive. If you have a digital camera, this service allows you to download all of your images from your digital memory cards and reuse your cards over and over again, saving you the expense of buying additional memory cards.
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.
How do I send an electronic postcard
of one of my images to a friend?
You can send an electronic postcard of any image by viewing the medium
resolution image and clicking on the "Send Postcard" link
to the right of that image. To view a medium resolution image simply
go to "My New Rolls" or "My Albums" and click on
a thumbnail image. After selecting the "Send Postcard" link
you will need to enter the e-mail address of the recipient(s) (you must
use commas to separate multiple e-mail addresses) or select the recipient(s)
from your address book and enter your name. For more information on
using your address book, please see one of the following FAQ's "How
do I use the address book..". Optional fields include adding a
caption to the image as well as a lengthier message or description.
You can also choose to share the entire album with the same person by
clicking on the "Share this Album" box below the message box.
See the Next FAQ "How do I share my albums..." for more information.
How do I share my albums with my
family and friends?
Once you have moved your images into albums, you can share the albums
via e-mail by using the "Share Album" and/or "Send Postcard"
links. For more information on using the "Send Postcard" link,
please see the previous FAQ "How do I send an electronic postcard..."
To use the "Share Album" link simply click on this link when
you are viewing the album you wish to share. First you will be asked
to provide a password every guest visiting your album will use for security
purposes. Then you can enter the e-mail addresses of the people you
wish to share the album with or select the e-mail addresses from your
address book. You can enter as many addresses as you wish, separated
with commas, and you are able to remove any one of them at any time.
For more information on using your address book, please see the following
FAQ "How do I use the address book...". After you have entered
or selected the e-mail addresses, you can include a personal greeting
to be read by those who will be viewing the album. Each person will
receive an automated e-mail containing your greeting, password and a
hotlink Denver Digital Online service. Once they click on the hotlink
and enter the password, they will be able to view this album within
your account and order prints from our Online Imaging Service. Whenever
you unshare a recipient's address from your shared album list, that
person will receive an automated email message noting the change in
the sharing status and they will no longer be able to view your album.
How do I use the address book to
send postcards and share albums?
The address book link is available after you select to send a postcard
or share an album as outlined in the two previous FAQs. Clicking on
the address book link enables you to choose recipients for your postcards
and shared albums without having to retype email addresses. If a recipient
is not listed in your address book, simply click on the Add New Contact
link. You also have the ability to edit existing information or delete
contacts. When you send a postcard or share an album with a new recipient
that is not listed in your address book, their address is automatically
entered for future use. To select contacts from your address book, please
click on the address book link. From the available list of addresses
simply check the box of the individual(s) you would like to have receive
a postcard/shared album. After making your selection click on the "Use
Selected Contacts" button which will return you to the postcard
or album share page with the recipient/guest field populated with the
selection you made in the address book.
Some of my pictures appear sideways.
Is it possible to flip, edit or crop?
You can rotate images by viewing the medium resolution image and then
selecting either the rotate left or rotate right buttons located beneath
the center of the image. You also have the option of rotating images,
as well as performing additional edits such as cropping, red eye reduction
and a variety of other alterations, within the editing tools. To access
the editing tools select the "Edit Image" link when viewing
the medium resolution image.
How do I edit my images with the
editing tools?
Extensive help on how to crop, adjust brightness, reduce red-eye, etc.
can be found by clicking on the "Need Help?" button on the
lower right side of the editing tools user interface. To access the
edit tools select the "Edit Image" link when viewing any medium
resolution image.
How do I order prints?
It is very convenient to order prints and enlargements online. While
viewing images within an album, simply select the images you wish to
purchase by clicking a check mark in the small select box directly below
each image or if you wish to purchase a print of every image within
that album use the "Select all images in album" function near
the top of the screen. Once selected, click on "Order" in
the upper-right portion of the screen. In the next screen you will see
each image you have selected accompanied by options to choose the print
size and quantity of each image. After you have selected a print size
and quantity, click on "Add" and the product will be added
to your shopping cart. Please note, that if you are ordering an image
that you previously cropped and saved within the editing tools, please
be sure and order the print size that matches the aspect ratio (i.e.
3.5x5, 4x7, etc) you previously selected. If the print size does not
match the crop selection (3.5x5, 4x7, etc), the image will be automatically
cropped by the lab operator and the print you receive may not be what
you expected. Once you have finished selecting your products, scroll
to the bottom of the screen and click on "Secure Checkout".
You will be asked for your credit card information and whether you want
to pick up the prints or have them mailed directly to you.
When I order prints online, how
long will it take to complete the order?
When your order is received by our lab , which generally occurs shortly
after the order is placed, an e-mail message will be sent to you. This
e-mail will read "order printed" and it states that the order
is being processed. In most cases, your order will be completed within
one business day.
What does file size, or image resolution
mean?
Each digital image has a certain resolution depending on the number
of pixels within that image. More pixels mean higher resolution, which
in turn, means more detail either on your computer monitor or on the
prints that you have printed. The higher the resolution of the image
uploaded, the larger you will be able to print photographs and retain
a desired quality.
What is the resolution of my images
uploaded to the web?
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.
What size pictures can I get from
my digital files?
The following is the minimum recommended file size to picture size guide:
640x480 pixels minimum: 3.5" x 5" print
900x600 pixels minimum: 4" x 6" print
1024x768 pixels minimum: 5" x 7" print
1220x960 pixels minimum: 8" x 12" print
1600x1200 pixels minimum: 10" x 15" print
How many images can I store?
You can upload an unlimited amount of images for editing, printing,
and sharing. If you wish to keep an image for more than 60 days, you
will need to purchase long term storage.
Do you store/archive at the uploaded
resolution?
Yes. We do not limit the size of your uploaded files.
Is it possible to change my password?
To change your password, simply click on "My Account" at the
bottom of any page and then choose "Update Your On-Line Account".
From there you will be able to update all of your personal information
including your address, phone number, e-mail address and your password.
