Think of us as your personal trainer \u2013 minus the sweating. We added many bells and whistles to the site this year, including a Video Tutorials section that will help you navigate through the new features and achieve your photo resolutions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Here are a few (doable!) resolutions, along with quick vids to get you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snapfishdotcom.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/01\/book_yir_instagram.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-950\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Resolution #1: Work on \u201cYear-in-review Photo Book\u201d as the year progresses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">We document every minute of our lives, but our stories build up in our phones and rarely see the light of day. If you\u2019re a self-proclaimed procrastinator (the best of us are), here\u2019s a great goal: Work on your end-of-year photo book a little bit at a time. Nothing is worse than cramming at the end during busy-present-making season! Take advantage of Autofill, a feature that makes it easy to add a jajillion photos to a book all at once. | <strong>VIDEO<\/strong>: Using Autofill to Make a Photo Book Quickly<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snapfishdotcom.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/01\/theedit.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-953\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Resolution #2: Try out new apps and filters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">We love playing with photo editing apps like Snapseed, VSCO, and Over. Snapseed is great for editing brightness, contrast, crop, and rotation. VSCO has an incredible community of photographers and offers artistic filters for fine-tuning your aesthetic. Over allows you to add text to your photos. You can always fiddle with Instagram\u2019s own editing tools to achieve that perfect \u2018gram, too! | <strong>BLOG&nbsp;POSTS:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/snapfishusblog.azurewebsites.net\/how-to-capture-picture-perfect-instagrams-tell-a-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tell a Story<\/a>&nbsp;and <a href=\"https:\/\/snapfishusblog.azurewebsites.net\/how-to-capture-picture-perfect-instagrams-editing-is-your-bff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Editing Is&nbsp;Your BFF<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snapfishdotcom.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/01\/fullsizerender-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-958\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Resolution #3: Upload &amp; backup photos on a regular basis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Spending hours uploading thousands of photos to your Snapfish account when you do a huge photo dump at the end of the year is time consuming, not to mention nerve-wracking. (Will that endless loading-circle-of-death ever go away??) We suggest you get into the habit of uploading your photos to Snapfish on a monthly or even weekly basis. You can even do it straight from your phone to the Snapfish app. Set a fun emoji-filled alarm message to help you remember! While you\u2019re at it, upload your photos on an external hard drive to keep them extra safe. | <strong>VIDEO<\/strong>: How to Upload Photos<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snapfishdotcom.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/01\/photo-sharing.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-952\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Resolution #4: Share snaps with friends<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">OMG \u2013 you have that fabulous album of you and your squad on vacation. They NEED to be seen and break the internet\u2026or at least circulated to your immediate photo-obsessed friends and fam. Simply share your photos&nbsp;via email or your Snapfish account. Check out our video to see how easy it is to share, and uncover the answers to your burning album-sharing questions. | <strong>VIDEO<\/strong>: Sharing Albums<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snapfishdotcom.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/01\/bb-snapfish-home-decor.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-949\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Resolution #5: See your photos in real life!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">We know the story. You take a million photos, and they stay chained to your phone &#8211; except on the rare occasion that a few appear on Facebook before disappearing into that ether shortly after, too. Since you\u2019re starting to upload photos on a regular basis (see Resolution #3), you\u2019ll be able to quickly access your photos on Snapfish to print your photos in standard 4x6s, hip 8x8s, or larger prints to create an impressive gallery wall. | <strong>VIDEO<\/strong>: Ordering and Editing Prints<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snapfishdotcom.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/01\/family-photo-snapfish-framed-photo-canvas.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-951\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Resolution #6: Try something new!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">If you\u2019re an avid pillow or mug maker, branch out from your usual photo goodies and try something new, like wall art. An 8&#215;8 canvas print of your favorite Instagram, or a sweet family portrait that just got two thumbs up from your kids, OR that crazy-cool panoramic ocean shot would be a fab addition to your home d\u00e9cor.
