One of the earlier blog posts mentioned the need for an invitation code to use the site. Now that we can handle more users on the system, we've removed the need for the code, so anyone with a Snapfish account and log in and try the tools on their own photos (just leave the invitation code field blank).
In other exciting news... |

Yes, I am biased... But I really do think we have one of the better online tools for making a photo collage on Snapfish Lab. Anyway I did a quick Google search and didn't run across anything I'd rather use.
A caveat - I didn't download any of the PC softwares to try. About a year ago I went looking for a free PC app to create collages and found what seemed to be a decent one (after not finding any online ones). I then spent about an hour making a family collage, only to be told, when I tried to save my masterpiece, that it would cost me $29.99 to do so! Agh!!! Of course they don't tell you this up front! And no, I didn't pay. I got disgusted at this tactic and deleted the whole thing and don't go through the trouble of downloading and installing PC apps anymore...
The Poster Creator tool we have on Snapfish Lab is absolutely free. No ads, shareware payments, or any hidden fees. You do need a Snapfish account - it's called 'Snapfish' Lab after all - and we would appreciate a note letting us know whether you liked it or not from time to time. I think the Snapfish people would appreciate printing the poster through their service, too, but it's not required. We're doing this really just to get the user feedback.
Why do I prefer the Snapfish Lab photo collage tool over others? |

HP Labs held a press event in Palo Alto a month ago on March 6 to talk about our new organization and the focus on fewer, larger impact projects. Part of the day was a demonstration event called Experience Zone - an opportunity for the reporters and analysts to view and interact with HP Labs research in a simulated real-world environment. Snapfish Lab was one of the 16 demonstrations in this event - being situated in a home/office type environment.
Our main demonstration was the poster creator application. We set up three laptops to allow folks to get some hands-on experience with creating posters. We also created a special build of the software to allow the poster to be printed at a local printer, so our demo visitors can take their new creations home with them!
I took a few photos for this event, so I thought I'd share them in a photoblog type format for this entry...

I own a Canon digital SLR and four digital point and shoots of various brands. I read dpreviews religiously. I almost never leave the house without a camera, not counting the one built into my cell phone. I also have an adorable 21 month old daughter. If you guess that I take lots of photos each week (each day, really), you'd be right.
Now, I'm NOT an amateur photographer. I don't have an artsie bone in my body and I have no idea how to take the kind of artistic photos that people display proudly on their web pages. My photos are simply snapshots. I just want to capture the special moments with my family, especially the baby, or friends, and be able to share them with other folks, either online or physically through Christmas cards, prints, albums, posters, and so forth. Oh, and maybe have them printed on knick-knacks like mugs and shirts. |
