Most of these photo sites will have a designated area for making a photo collage. Click on the icon for "collage" and follow the directions for making one with you digital pictures. You most likely will be able to place anywhere from four to 100 pictures on your collage and you should be able to choose how big of a collage you want. Usually the sizes range from 5x7 up to 20x30. Most people making these collages are making them as a gift and most sites ask you to pay for a collage. The collage will be shipped to you when you have completed it and paid for it.
When you are beginning your collage creation, you will have some freedom to select certain things, such as borders, matte or glossy collage, landscape or portrait and processing that makes the color of your pictures appropriate for printing. You can either select to have the pictures placed on the collage where you wish, or the site will select placement for you.

You are able to download pictures from your family history to the present day and have those pictures tell a story.
You are also able to send these pictures to family and friends and you may also be able to put these scrapbooks onto a CD or a DVD.

A private digital photo album is the exact opposite of a public one. Many people upload photos to their digital photo albums and do not want other people to view these photos. That is a personal choice and if you choose to only allow certain people to view your photos or you don't want anyone at all to see them, then you must set your digital photo album to private.
A digital photo album can be in the form of computer software or from an online source. Basically a digital photo album allows the user to download or import pictures from their digital camera, the memory card of their digital camera or even their computer's scanner. These pictures can then be stored in the form of a digital photo album via the computer software or the online photo sharing site of the users choice.
