Shutterfly will help you get started. They provide you with information on the advantages of digital photography plus buying guides for cameras and scanners. Should you decide to join their digital world the registration is free.


Once you've got your images digitized you may upload them. Shutterfly provides you with unlimited storage space for images you have printed and a 50-megabyte storage limit on images that haven't been printed.

Once uploaded you can "...correct the red-eye, fix the colors if they're a bit off, crop the picture to make sure your intended subject is the center of attention, and even attach fun creative borders to make it extra special. Then, with the click of your mouse, you can order top-quality prints for yourself, or for friends and family anywhere around the globe, or share your online albums with anyone you choose."

One neat product Shutterfly offers is a item they call Snapbooks.

These are "...spiral-bound collections of your pictures, presented in a style of your choice, with captions next to your pictures on each page." Buy two, one for yourself and one for that person who always complains they never see any pictures of you.
