Digital Photography: The Missing Manual

Sharing Photos with Snapfish

Like Shutterfly, Snapfish (http://www.snapfish.com) makes photo sharing simple. You can share more than one album at once, but you can’t pick and choose photos from different albums as you can with EasyShare.

Tip

To mix and match photos from different albums, you need to create a new album, copy photos to it, and then share that new album. For details on copying photos between albums, see Section 6.8.1.1.

Once you’ve uploaded photos into Snapfish albums (Section 6.7.1), sharing them is a breeze:

1. Log into Snapfish. On the Home page, in the Get Started box at upper right, click “share.”

   On the “Share albums” page, you see thumbnail icons of all your albums.

2. Turn on the checkbox next to the album(s) you want to share. Then click “choose these albums.”

   The “Share an album” screen appears.

3. In the “addresses” box, type the email addresses of all the people you want to show your album to, separated by commas.

   Snapfish automatically saves your guests’ addresses in an online address book for you. In the future, you can click the “address book” link and eliminate all that typing.

4. Type a subject line and a message for your email invitation.

   If you leave it to Snapfish, you end up with a message that tells your friends how much it costs to order prints. You can delete this message with impunity. Your guests will have no trouble finding the “order prints” link on every Snapfish page.

5. Click the Share Album button to send your invitation.
