Photoshop - Digital Photo Calendar
Digital Photo Calendar by David Peters
Is your collection of family photos just sitting locked away in your computer? Would you like the opportunity to see these photos more often and without the trouble and time it takes to pull them up in your computer? You can have these photos handy at a glance and be useful by turning them into a unique, customized digital photo calendar.
Of course, everyone knows that not all of our photos will be perfect... But some will jump right out at you and remind you of certain times and 'warm feeling' experiences. Grab these images! You're about to put them into your own portfolio - and showcase them proudly to the world (or at least, to your 'inner circle' of family and friends!)
For an abundance of good reasons, it's great to share our family or 'good times' images with others. In fact, you're naturally inclined to want 'everyone' to see them... But how? And 'what's the best way to do this?'
Well, one very cool way is by using a simple digital photo calendar. And just so we're clear, we're not talking about an actual 'digital photo calendar' here (although you could very well call it that) either. For simplicity's sake we just mean creating 'stunning' wall calendars using your own unique digital photos!
To put in simply, you can create a "photo calendar" that you can print out, give to your friends and family, hang on your wall, sell on your website, promote across the Internet the possibilities are endless.
Let's try out building one of these fun little photo calendars for ourselves.
Let's take a look at the steps.
First up, you simply choose some of your favorite images. Then you need to do a little online exploring.. so what I've done is saved you some serious research time by listing a bunch of places where you can easily turn your digital photos into a photo calendar...
Actually... this is the real 'secret' behind getting your photos into a calendar... you just need to know where (as in, what web sites) to use. The rest of the process is reasonably straightforward. (Although you do need to have a fair idea of how to prepare your images before printing! Tip: Get someone to help you do this if it's going to be too challenging!)
Only a few more simple steps from here...
1) Upload your photo/s to one of the photo calendar web sites above.
2) Select a particular calendar size and other details
3) Settle on a month and a year you want your calendar to have
4) Hit the 'create' button or order your own calendar
Really does sound easy doesn't it? Once you've finished these steps you will have an enjoyable photo calendar that can be downloaded as a .PDF onto your hard drive or even as a jpeg image file. If you are having your printed performed by a printing service, you can expect your completed project in about a week.
But overall, not too bad for a few minutes work!
Now you have your digital photo calendar ready to be seen by everyone. Impress your friends by printing it onto a card, sending it by e-mail, give them as gifts or enjoy it yourself just by hanging it on your wall. Each time you see it you will be reminded of special times from the past and every time friends and family see their calendar they will be touched by how much you cared to share those moments with them!
