eframes:
Framing Your Photos Via
Cyberspace
Digital cameras are all the rage. With
the new generation of personal printers, high quality
pictures can be printed in the comfort of your office or
home. But what if you yearn for the old ways of glossy
photos that can be passed around the office watercooler,
shared with student leaders or at family functions?
eframes
has created a simple concept to address this problem.
Digital photos, either scanned or taken with a digital
camera, can be uploaded to the eframes site where they can
be developed as regular prints (along with a choice of
enlargements). The service is user-friendly, quick and
efficient.
But the main value of the site is the
wide assortment of frames-- wood, metal and specialty --that
can be chosen for your photograph(s) and ordered online with
that favorite memory inside. You can also preview your photo
interactively, using their "framing engine," with the frames
to make sure of the best match. Users have the ability to
crop or re-size photographs to ensure a snug fit. As the
promotional material states: " We print it, we frame it, we
ship it!"
Lastly, eframes has an album service
where you can create your own album of photographs which is
helpful if you don't have a personal Web site to post such
images. Access can be given to friends and colleagues,
multiple albums can be created and the photos can be edited
or printed.
While the benefits for student affairs
professionals may not be great, eframes does provide an
outlet for the digital images to be printed at the click of
a mouse. Instead of digital photos from award ceremonies,
leadership retreats, or other undergraduate or professional
functions sitting on your harddrive they can now be easily
sent off for printing (with or without frames). It can be a
nice reward for a student leader or memory for a departing
colleague.
