Seeking "Best" Photo Organizing, Printing, Emailing Software

I second Shutterfly.com. Pics can be printed at Target or through them and you can set up a special print price program where you pay so much for so many prints ahead of time and just order as needed (it's part of their mail service & does not include Target prints though). It also has a blogging site available which I use if not monthly then bi-monthly as we have no family in the area and it's how I keep them updated. You can also just send out an email link to the photos you want shared and you can add a link to Facebook etc (you can password protect!)

I have used Snapfish.com since I had my first baby (now 4). You can upload pictures into folders, share folders with friends and family (easy way to share photos), make all kinds of photo books, cards, invitations, gifts, etc. It is free, as long as you place an order at least once a year. You can also order prints for next to nothing, or have them printed and pick up at Walgreens. They just added some Wal-Mart locations as well. I love them! They have done an excellent job on baby announcements, invitations, and Christmas cards, and the photo books make awesome, memorable gifts for your loved ones.

I agree with Christi P. regarding Snapfish. You can have them mail you your prints, or can have them printed locally for pick up. I also share digital prints with grandparents and friends, have had my Christmas cards done by them, etc. It is easy to crop photos......nothing is too high tech, which is good b/c I forget all the little tricks of some software packages between uses. -- Oh! I have also ordered the photo tie, the photo cookie tin, and the photo jigsaw puzzle. I was happy with all.

I use the Creative Memories software. LOVE it! Great for editing and for uploading to make digital scrapbooks. PLUS! You can always get updates right from their site.

This is not a software, but an online service that my friend has hooked me on. It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but you can check it out if you are interested.

Most basic prints you can order and either choose to pick up at Target or they can send to you. Other projects (books, collages, larger prints) they send to you directly. I have used them for the last two Christmas' for our family photo collage. You upload the photos you want to work with and they stay in your "account". I love it!

Good luck...
