How to Create Digital Photo Albums

Turn your digital photographs into a photo album that can be used to share with friends and family online. You can also print a nice book from the photos. Digital photo albums have many customizable options fit for you or the person you want to give it to.

• Use high-quality, high-resolution photographs for the digital albums. The higher the resolution, the better the photographs will print, especially if they will be in larger sizes. If you re-size a digital picture, save the original on your computer.


• Edit the photographs using photo editing software like Photoshop or Picasa. Many websites, such as Picnik.com, allow you to edit your pictures free of charge. You can crop your photos, add text, change the backgrounds or adjust the photo quality. More advanced photo editing tools include changing the hue and saturation of a photograph, removing red eye or other imperfections.


• Decide how you want your digital photo album to be arranged. Organize your photos into separate folders on your computer such as for family, friends, vacations, holidays, pets and so on. By keeping them organized, they will be easy to access later. It may help to write down on paper how you want each page of the digital album to be arranged.


• Create your album by uploading the photos to a trusted site, such as Shutterfly, that also handles printing the book. You can also print photos on your home printer, and put them in a photo album or scrapbook.
