Digital Photo Calendar Are you leaving your finest photographs collecting digital dust on your hard drive? Do you have vivid, 'precious moment' images that you'd like to look at more often? If so, how about turning them into a one-of-a-kind, custom digital photo calendar? Of course, everyone knows that not all of our photos will be perfect... But some will jump right out at you and remind you of certain times and 'warm feeling' experiences. Grab these images! You're about to put them into your own portfolio - and showcase them proudly to the world (or at least, to your 'inner circle' of family and friends!) For an abundance of good reasons, it's great to share our family or 'good times' images with others. In fact, you're naturally inclined to want 'everyone' to see them... But how? And 'what's the best way to do this?' One very fun and unique way is by creating a simple digital photo calendar. Don't take the words "digital photo calendar" too literally though. In this case we're talking about turning the idea of a regular wall calendar into one-of-a-kind work of art using your own photos. To put in simply, you can create a "photo calendar" that you can print out, give to your friends and family, hang on your wall, sell on your website, promote across the Internetthe possibilities are endless. So let's go ahead and actually build ourselves one of these cool little photo calendars. Let's take a look at the steps. Naturally you are going to start with selecting your favorite photos. The next step involves some homework, but don't worry, I've done a bit of the research for you. Here is a sample listing of a few places where you can transform your photos into a calendar Here's a few websites that will make that transformation for you: www.bighugelabs.com, www.desktopwallpaperphotos.com, www.snapfish.com and www.cafepress.com. The first two sites listed will give you a free digital version of your calendar that you can download to your hard drive and then print out or save to a CD/take to a print shop. The others provide a 'real' wall or desk calendar that you can purchase and then 'send' to yourself, or a friend. Knowing which website to use is probably the hardest thing to figure out and decide on when turning your "plain" photos into a calendar. The rest is actually pretty simple although you do need to have at least a working knowledge of how to prepare your photos before printing. There are plenty of programs, tutorials and guides that can help you accomplish this. If all else fails, get someone to help you if it proves too challenging or if you just don't have the time. Then just a few more simple steps... 1) Upload your photo/s to one of the photo calendar web sites above. 2) Pick a specific calendar size and other details c) decide on a month and a year you want your calendar to have $) Now hit the 'create' button or order your own calendar... Simple, eh? Once you've done all that then you'll have yourself an enjoyable photo calendar that you can then download onto your hard drive as a .PDF, or maybe a jpeg image file... Or, if you're 'outsourcing' the printing, you can expect to receive your calendar in a week or so... Pretty easy for pretty impressive results! Now you can take your digital photo calendar masterpiece out to impress friends and family. Be creative with it and print it out on a card, e-mail it to everyone, or just hang it on your wall for your own enjoyment. Photo calendars make a great gift and every time someone looks at it they will be reminded of you and be able to share in your special memories. Did you like this article?
