Geeks on PC

We all enjoy using Shutterfly because of its rich features that turns it into iPhoto for Windows. I can personally say pricing on Shutterfly isn’t the best. I would rather save my creation from Shutterfly and print it from my inexpensive photo printer. Why waste $15 on an 11 x 14?

If you’re using Firefox, there is a way around this. Within Firefox there is a feature called Page Info which contains all media (videos, pictures, and audio) files found within your webpage. You can use this feature to download a full size copy of whatever you’re trying to make.

Start out by logging into your account and choosing a new project. I would recommend doing a collage poster, since those are not only easy to make and save, but they also look way better than regular pictures. Make sure to choose a size based on the limits of your printer tray.

Now use the creative side of your mind to design an amazing collage poster. I put mine together quickly and it looked something like this in the preview.

Once you are done, click on the Zoom button to see an actual size preview of the new poster. Notice that there are no watermarks, but for some reason you are not able to right click and Save Image As.

We can find a way around this with the Page Info Media we talked about earlier. Go to Tools – Page Info (while the preview is still up) and select the Media tab.

You should now see a list of items in a 2 column box. Scroll through the items to find an image that is above 900px wide and 700px high.

Now all you have to do is click that Save button and save it as a .PNG on your computer.

Most Internet Explorer users think they can get the actual size image by going to File – Save Page. But the truth is, it doesn’t show up in the saved web files.
