Photopass dumbed down for me.

[Duckyiam71]

Not sure where to post. I have my photopass pictures available and I know how to get the cd. My question is what size the pictures will come? I have read stitchkingdom and got more confused. I edited my pictures by adding borders, etc then stitchkingdom talks about cropping and sizing. I know they will be on the cd so does it matter? Really need it dumbed down..thanks for any help.

They are just files on the disc. You can print whatever you want. Wallets, 4x6, 5x7, 8x10. I didn't print anything bigger than 8x10 off of mine, but I would think you could.

You can take the disc to WalMart or Walgreens or anyplace you normally get your pics printed, or you can upload the pics to an online site like Snapfish or Flicka, or you can print them off at home on your own printer.

If you take them to Walgreens, you just hand them the disc and say I want 4 8x10's of #27 and 1 5x7 of #52, and 4x6s of #21, 25, 27, 32, 35, 49, etc.

Does that make sense?

The CD comes with a copyright release so these places can print the pics. I used one of mine for our Christmas card and got 100 copies.

Thank you. I got paranoid thinking I was stuck with all 4x6's etc. I am all ready then to request my cd. Thanks again!

You want to save each picture at the size you will order it. So if you'll be using Shutterfly to order a bunch of 4x6s, you want to save in 4x6. If you'll be doing some pix in 5x7, save those in 5x7. Otherwise the edges won't come out right, when you order the print later on. This is most important when you've cropped/bordered pictures, because you want those borders to show up on the print, and you want the crop to be right. And they won't be exactly right, if you save them differently than you end up ordering the prints.

Agreed....when you are editing your photos you chose the size you ultimately want to print it at. This is because the ratio's are different for each size and the picture will need to be cropped appropriately. So if I want to print something in a 4x6 and an 8x10, I save 2 in my account...one at each size, cropped appropriately for the size I intend to print.

I might be stupid, but I didn't see anywhere on the photopass site to choose what size you saved the pictures in. I saw SAVE AS A COPY and SAVE. Oh well, I already ordered my CD, so I guess I am out of luck. Last time I did Photopass, I didn't save as certain sizes and I don't remember having trouble printing the pictures at any size.
