2) PRINTS: You will already be on the 'Prints' tab, so just select the quantity of each size print and the finish (matte, lustre, glossy, or metallic) you want. You will have a chance to crop the photos at checkout. If you like the photos as they are, just checkout and you are done! Take a look at Wrapped Canvas Prints and Ready-to-Hang Mounted Prints.

3) CROPPING: This means selecting just a portion of the photo to print. You may see "Needs cropping in checkout" when selecting some photo sizes. This means the size you are selecting cannot include the entire photo because it is a different aspect ratio than the original photo. Photos are in a 4x6 format (unless they have been already cropped, which is uncommon), so an 8x12 will include the entire photo, while a 8x10 will necessarily cut off 2 inches on the long side. The system will automatically center the crop so that 1 inch is removed from each end. In other cases cropping can make a much more dramatic photo (see example). You will have an opportunity to adjust the default cropping at checkout. To the right of each photo in your shopping cart you will see the words 'Crop', 'Reset', and 'Adjust'. Click on 'Adjust' and follow the on screen instructions to adjust the crop. When you are done cropping, click the 'Checkout' button. more cropping info Click on picture to change size

Adjust the crop by using the handles at the sides and corners of the grid. For the best picture, align your subject(s) along the grid lines, or at the intersection of the lines, as much as possible. This is call the 'Rule of Thirds' in photography. Turn off the grid lines by clicking the 'Hide Grid' button to see what your photo will look like. When you are satisfied with your crop, click the 'Save Crop' button to return to the shopping cart. Click on picture to change size

DIGITAL DOWNLOADS: After clicking on the 'Buy' button, click on the 'Downloads' tab to see the options for downloading digital copies of your photo. These range from a size suitable for web display (like on Facebook) all the way up to the original, high resolution image suitable for a poster size print. Click on picture to change size

MERCHANDISE: After clicking on the 'Buy' button, click on the 'Merchandise' tab to see the cool things you can get with the photo printed on it. Mugs, mousepads, T-shirts and much more are available. These make great gifts! Clicking on any item while in the Merchandise tab will show you a picture and give you a description of the item. Click on picture to change size

MULTIPLE PHOTOS: You can add photos to your shopping cart one-at-a-time or, after clicking on the 'Buy' button, select 'Photos from this Gallery' to add multiple photos all at once. Click on all the photos you want to highlight them, then click 'Add Photos to Cart'. Warning: A large gallery with thousands of photos can take several minutes to load. The one-at-a-time method is probably better for large galleries. Click on picture to change size
