Fun with Photos

Fun with Photos

We all have funny photos we want to share with others. This can be done by printing the photos out and viewing them in a photo album as has been done since the invention of photography. However, with modern technology we can do more.

There are many ways for you to have fun with your photos without needing to become a photography expert or a computer wizard.

It's surprising the amount of people who just take photos and don't use them creatively.

Below are some of the basic uses for your photos.

Fun with Photos

Have fun with photos you have taken by viewing them as a slide show on you computer. You can sit back and use your PC monitor as a giant photo frame to show off your latest set of holiday snaps!
It is possible that you have seen slide show displays like this at your local bank or travel agent as they try to interest you in their latest product. It is very visually appealing.

Setting your PC Wallpaper

Your PC wallpaper is the picture that appears when you start your computer. It is sometimes called your "desktop background" or your "desktop wallpaper".
It is very nice to see a familiar face or place when you are working on your computer and it is very easy to set this up. You have probably seen this on a friends PC and wondered how he/she did it. Well, wonder no more.

Photo sharing to send pictures through email

Photo sharing to send pictures with email is an excellent way to get the most out of your recently taken pictures.
A digital photo is typically 1-3mb in size so you do not want to email too many of these at one time. If you don't know what that means there is no need to worry. When you email a photo the size of the photo dictates how fast it is sent and also how quickly it is received by the person you have emailed. 






CD Burning

CD burning allows you to create your own photo CDs for sending to loved ones. You can share a small number of photos by email but if you want to share large amounts of photos at full quality you will need to burn the photos to a blank CD. This can then be mailed through the normal postal system.
This is a simple process and windows XP and Vista have all the necessary software already on your PC.
Of course, this process of burning or writing to a CD works for all types of files: documents, photos, videos, presentations and anything that can be stored on a computer in digital form. The same process applies for creating a data DVD.
