"Photos from the Heart"
by Stacey L. Rose
Tips on Ordering
All orders are placed through Shutterfly. There are three main galleries:
The STANDARD and FULL FRAME galleries have been broken into the seven albums: "Animal Behavior", "California Vistas", "Fall Colors", "Raging Waters", "Snow and Ice", "Sunrise, Sunset", and "Wildflowers". The POSTER gallery includes all of the available prints in a single album, "20x30 Images".
In case you missed it on my main page, STANDARD PRINTS AND GIFTS allows you to order prints, notecards and a few gift items. The prints here have been cropped to fit standard size frames of 8"x10", 11"x14", and 16"x20".
FULL FRAME PRINTS allows you to order "full frame" images. These images will be marked with "full" in the name when you view the images through the GALLERY. A "full frame" image has not been cropped, and shows the entire photo composition, as taken. They are available in print sizes of 11"x14", and 16"x20". In order to show the entire photo, the images here will be smaller than the print size, and will have a white border around the image. When you order an 11"x14" "full frame" image, the paper size will be 11"x14", but the image size will be approximately 8"x12". A 16"x20" print of a "full frame" image will have an image size of approximately 12"x18". The "full frame" image prints require custom matting and/or custom framing.
A limited number of images are also available as 20"x30" POSTERS. These are all "full frame" images, but will not include a border.
When you view the photos under FULL FRAME PRINTS and POSTERS, you will see the actual image cropping as it will be printed. The prints under FULL FRAME PRINTS will show borders; the prints under POSTERS will not.
When you first view the photos under STANDARD PRINTS AND GIFTS, you will not immediately see the exact cropping of the images. Once you have selected a print to order, you will then be given the opportunity to view the image as it will be printed. If you are unhappy with the cropping, you may then delete the item without ordering.
Since the images in the GALLERY are shown with the exact croppings immediately (although "full" images will show the image cropping only, not the border), I heartily recommend that you browse the GALLERY if you have any questions about the image that will be printed.
Not all of the standard size images are available as full frame images, and not all of the full frame images are available in standard sizes. The best cropping for each photo was selected. Both standard and full frame images are available only when both croppings properly showcase the image.
To make ordering easier, each album in the GALLERY also has a link to the corresponding album in Shutterfly.
