The digital technology revolution of the last 20 years has revolutionized photography, producing cameras that record visual images without using chemicals. You can view your digital camera's picture instantly and then transfer the file to your computer where you can edit the images, email them to others, display them on the Web, or make a digital picture print.

Unless you have a digital photo printer, you will have to ask a digital photo printing service to print your pictures. Many camera shops that do traditional film processing also offer digital picture printing services.

Before handing over your storage card to the digital photo printing service technician, remember to delete the pictures that you don't want. Their standing policy is to print everything on the storage card, whether you want it printed or not.

Patronizing your local digital photo printing service may allow you some advantages you don't get from online picture printing services. For instance, you can ask the technician to print on matte paper or get same-day or rush service.

You'll see some self-service digital photo printing service kiosks in some camera stores or even chain stores. Prices may be higher than with online picture printing services, but they are convenient when you're on the road and want quick prints.

If you prefer online picture printing services, you can upload your pictures and order prints to be delivered to you. After uploading, you can have them stored at the service or posted in an album or Web page. You'll get standard-size digital picture prints.

Some online picture printing services offer photo-editing options and customized photo albums, provide templates for photo projects, or give you tips on taking good pictures. Do not forget that most picture printing software in use at online services only recognize JPEG files, so remember to turn your pictures to JPEG before uploading.
