Simply download and install the free Monitor Calibration Wizard for Windows from our website. Click the "Run Wizard" button and follow the step-by-step instructions.

Your Photos

Our experts choose from thousands of images to create the "best of" version you see on your personal website, while the DVD of your digital negatives is an archive of all the photos from your event. Each image has a number you use when you work with prints or with your album designers.

Managing photos

As you browse, you can:

  • Password-protect the entire site or leave it available for everyone to browse
  • Keep track of images you'll want to find later by adding them to your "Favorites" folder
  • Mark photos "private," so nobody except you can see them
  • Rotate and delete photos uploaded by family and guests
  • Order prints and crop images to eliminate distracting elements or to put emphasis where you want it most

Folders
