Creating an online digital photo album or digital scrapbook is an awesome way to present your photos and memories. Digital scrapbooking software is available that will help you make a fantastic photo album. But, the first thing that you need to do is organize your photos! Get your best pictures organized properly into folders on your desktop or in your current pictures folder.
The next step is to carefully sift through the photos that you want to put into your digital photo album. You are only going to want the highest quality for your photo album or scrapbook. Get rid of the more mundane pictures and focus on the pics that you want to show off! Get a second opinion from friends or family on the pictures that you have chosen.
But what about old photos? The ones in your old shoebox? You can scan them into your computer! This makes the photos available for your photo album, and also provides a valuable back-up of your favorite printed pictures! If you do not have a scanner, you could ask a friend to help, or go to a printing company like Staples to have your pictures scanned at a reasonable price!
Once you have your photos organized, you need to get some great digital scrapbooking software! You can download programs for free that are excellent for digital scrapbook creation. If you want it printed professionally, you will have to pay, but the software should be free.
