How long are my images stored on your site?

You can upload an unlimited number of images for projects, printing, ordering and editing. The images will be stored in your account as long as you log in at least once every six months to view the photos. Logging in once every six months lets us know you are still using your online photo account. Should you forget to log in, you may receive two emails stating your images are in danger of being deleted due to inactivity. If you fail to log in after the second notice, your images will be deleted.

Please Note:All images are converted to JPEG for printing purposes. And extremely large images may be compressed to help facilitate printing. This occurs at the time of uploading. So while we do store your images as stated above, re-downloading the images may not be the exact file type and size initially used to upload to us.

Order Process

How do I crop the pictures in my order?

 

There are several ways in which you can crop your images. Some may not be available on this site.

One option is available prior to ordering anything. When viewing your images in your online folders, you can click “Edit” to access the Edit Tools. Please see the FAQ "Can I edit my images using your service?"

Another option is to wait until checkout to crop your photos. If your images need cropping, you will be given two or three cropping options.

  • "Auto Crop" will be done automatically, but can result in heads cut off if your subject is near the edge of your images.
  • "No Crop" fits the entire image on the print, so that the largest side fits on the paper. The empty spaces that are left by the smaller dimensions are then filled with white space.
  • "Manual Crop" allows you to control the cropping.

You can also crop your image using the editing tools after selecting your print size.

When placing an order, enter the coupon or promotion code in the field on the Order Summary page. Then make sure to hit the "Apply" button and the shopping cart will automatically total the remaining balance, if any, from the combination of the credit on your account and the coupon.

Please note, if you are combining free prints, dollars off and a coupon on the same order, the free prints are applied first, the dollars off credit is deducted from the sub-total, and then the coupon/promotion code is applied to the order.

Please note, you cannot combine a credit, a coupon code, and a Deal in the same order.

What is Aspect Ratio?

Aspect Ratio is the size (width x height) of the image. The aspect ratio tells a lab technician what size(s) the image can be printed without requiring cropping. For example, an image with an aspect ratio of 4x6 can be printed at 4x6, 8x12, 12x18, etc. without any cropping, because 8x12 and 12x18 are the same ratio as 4x6.

Many digital point and shoot cameras now capture images in a 4.5x6 ratio. This means that most digital images taken with a point and shoot camera will need to be cropped slightly.

For more information on cropping and cropping options available on the site, please read the question, "How do I crop the pictures in my order?"
