Ofoto is a godsend for anyone who has a digital camera, but still appreciates the beauty of a professional print. I found the site through a web banner, I only wish that I had found it sooner.
Ofoto is easy to use. I set up my account in no time. The interface is simple and easy to understand. As with any online storage medium, the faster your connection the happier you will be. You set up for your downloads by creating photo albums. The web site allows you to upload up to 10 pictures per batch. It would be nice to have the option to download everything in a file or specified location. You can set up as many photo albums as you like.
One of the great things I do with the photo albums is to create different albums for different groups of friends, families and coworkers. Then I can share the pictures with those people whom I want. Sharing is easy, I go into my Ofoto account. Click on the Share tab and that opens an intuitive form. You click all of the albums you want to share with a person or group of people, enter their email addresses (there is even an address book on the web site) and a brief message. Before you send the message, you have the option of being notified when anyone visits your album. Send the message and Ofoto sends out a message with the link to the web site.
Now on to the really great part, you can have them print your pictures on professional quality paper. The processing that they use is exceptional. I was extremely happy with my first batch of pictures and I intend to continue using Ofoto for their "developing". First, you go into the albums and check the pictures you want. Next, you go to the order page. The order page gives you the recommended print size based upon your file size. You pick the print size and number of prints and then have them shipped. My first batch was a mixed batch of around 50 prints. I had an 8x10, several 5x7s and about 30 4x6s.
It took about a week and a half to receive my pictures. It was well worth the wait. Their packaging is great and protects the photos well. Everyone who has seen the pictures has been impressed.
Ofoto is smart as well. They know that people are skeptical and have a lot of options for printing their pictures. Right now, they are offering people who set up a new account 100 free 4x6 prints and the shipping on the first order is free!!! Take advantage of this great offer. I wish I would have know about their service when I first bought my digital camera, I would have used it much sooner.
Ofoto is terrific!!!
