Wow, Karla has fallen in LOVE with those things!
If you're not familiar with them, it's and instant gratification item that's absolutely AWESOME and very well put together! You can load your media onto the kiosk via just about any data card, CD or even scan them in. You can even transfer them from your phone via bluetooth, or hook your camera up to it with the USB cable! Once your pics are on the machine, you can print individual photos, add borders, create collages... *sigh*
Needless to say, we've spent quite a bit of money there and have several new photo collages around the house. It's a very, very cool toy and the results are just gorgeous. Once you pick what you want, it prints your claim ticket and all you have to do is go to the photo printer and scan your claim ticket in 3-4 minutes and there are your pictures! And the price is extremely reasonable for what you get. $0.28 for a single 4x6 print. You pay that even if you add a border.
This is not to trump up Walmart. Personally, I avoid shopping there if I can. But this is a deal that we just can't pass up.

Photo Management
I received in our email an article from Fire Mountain Gems and Beads. The article is here and is titled, "Pixel Perfect".
It has a lot of advice on how to maintain and manage your photo files of your jewelry pieces. Or of any photos you take with the plan of using them in different media. I intend to implement this today, if I have time to take some photos. (I really need to!)
In our case, we may be small and unknown now, but someday we'll have a design worthy of appearing in a magazine or such, and we'll need to have high quality images for printing. Or, we'll want to make our own printed newsletter. In that case, we'll need high quality images for the printed version and lower ones for an online version.
Up until now, I've only been keeping the photos that we use to put on Etsy. And they are only a 1000px square; Sadly inadequate for any kind of physical printed format.
I hope someone finds this article useful, as I did.
