Some sites can offer lower per-photo costs if you expect to buy a lot of prints. Shutterfly offers three prepaid plans, including one that saves 33 per cent if you commit to buying 600 4-by-6-inch (10-by-15-centimeter) photos in two years. Kodak's Premier Print Super Saver lets you save 33 per cent off 4-by-6 prints, but it charges $50 a year. |

To avoid shipping charges, pick up your pictures at retail stores such as Wal-Mart and Target that partner with photo-sharing sites. Flickr, Kodak, Shutterfly, Snapfish and Picasa offer that service. The processing time can be as short as an hour. |

Back up your pictures in at least two places. Store them on your computer's internal hard drive or an external drive, and burn copies onto DVDs or CDs. Keep a set at a relative's house in case disaster strikes your home. |

Opt for sites that offer refunds if you're not satisfied with your order, such as Shutterfly. It also has a toll-free number for customer service, as does Snapfish and Kodak. |

If you just want to share digital photos with online friends, use the free services offered on social networking sites. Skip photo-storage sites unless you want to send pictures to people who aren't on social networks -- or if you want to take advantage of more extensive photo printing services on mugs, T-shirts and calendars. |
