The cost of printing your own digital photos has reduced massively in the last few years. The only two things you need in order to get started is a home computer and an internet connection. For a matter of pennies per print, photographers can order copies of their digital work online.

Most of these websites offer low-cost photographic processing, as well as a range of products related to photography, and free storage and sharing services. Since the quality of print can vary from site to site, photographers would be well advised to take advantage of the free trial offers that many websites allow.

Some websites have partnered with bricks-and-mortar businesses and as such are able to offer in-store pick-up options.

Don't worry if you wouldn't describe yourself as "web savvy". Most photo printing websites publish step-by-step instructions to help you upload your photos, place your order and supply your delivery details.

Ordering digital prints online is cheaper than traditional printing in any case, but it's especially good value when you consider the time and expense you might otherwise spend on travelling to a photographic development studio.
