If you are like me, being a photo processing lab in your office is too much to resist. I bought a 280 dollar digital camera, a 350 dollar color photo printer, and I was ready for work. Or I thought so. I took piles of photos and filled my hard drive with some stupid pictures of all my kids, neighbors, cars and pets. I am really pleased to have them ready for review on my computer in my spare time. When I showed them to relatives, they often requested copies that I was dying to make with my new lab equipment.
Printing photos at home was very expensive and of poor quality
After printing the first 3 or 4 photos, it struck me that they were not suitable to put in a frame to decorate the walls of my 295 square meter apartment. When I looked closely, I could still see the printer lines. Although the image on the computer was incredibly clear, the printed copy had lost its clear edge. I still have not given up on my hope. I wanted to print my own photos! I set out to find the best quality inks and best photo papers. After all, I was ready to process some photos that would make my neighbors and colleagues ill with jealousy. I haven't used my color printer since then to shorten a long story, and I have a drawer on my desk filled with pretty expensive blank photo paper.
The next few years, I lived with the family in town, turning the folders on my laptop. When they are out of town I email pictures in hopes of avoiding their phone calls and finding a compressed photo sufficient to meet their needs.
Then, apart from blue, my wife decided to learn more about photography on a three-week course offered at a nearby local college. Every night he entered the house and rattled about the latest information they taught about the new age of digital photography we had entered.
You can print your digital photos online.
In the middle of sharing this information, I heard that the professor said he had a rather large chain of camera stores.
Printing and mailing photos online was easy.
They offered online photo uploads to be processed and sent to you in the sizes you choose and various other options. It changed my pretty foggy brain and realized I might have my own photo processing lab. Instead of taking the photos from my printer, I had to take them out of my mailbox.
I immediately jumped online and started uploading my favorite photos. It was child's play, and the first few editions were free to sign up for. A few days later, I was putting more nails on my walls to hang beautiful, professional prints that I made with my own digital camera in my own home.
