The beauty of totalPIX is the way it lets you be creative with your pictures by being so easy to use. So you can concentrate on the fun side of photography and make something really special without the technology getting in the way.

The only limit is your imagination; our customers often surprise us with the novel ways they find of using our service.

In fact, we’d love to hear from you if you’ve come up with a great idea

But to start you off, here are a few suggestions to get you thinking:

Photobooks

Apart from the popular uses, like wedding albums or holidays, you can let your imagination and inspiration take over:

If you’ve been a guest at a wedding or christening recently, how about creating your own album of the day as a delightful surprise present?

Or if you like to keep a diary, why not put together a photo journal, instead of a conventional written one?

Then again, how about starting a more ambitious project, like creating a short story in pictures, accompanied by captions? What a fantastic gift for a child?

Don’t forget, you can also take any of your old negatives and slides and easily transfer them onto a CD, too, providing you with a huge photo source, going back years.

So, as a long term project, you could transfer all your old photos into new long-lasting and professional looking albums - perhaps recording your family history for future generations?

Calendars

These make the ideal Christmas present. How about giving grandparents a calendar featuring your favourite photos of their grandchildren? Or you could feature a different family member for every month.

Perhaps if you have a hobby, such as bird watching or motor-racing, you could feature some of your favourite shots?

The secret is to discover a theme that can be extended over twelve photos.

Posters

Here’s a great way of making the most out of those extra-special pictures.

Why not take a group photo of your family and have it framed as a present for a parent or grandparent?

Or that great photo you took on holiday? You could have it turned into a poster and framed to conjure up happy memories every time you look at it?

You could even choose a series of pictures that you could use together as a decorative theme; for instance some beautiful still life pictures of food for a kitchen.

In conclusion, whatever you choose totalPIX for, we hope you have a fantastically enjoyable time putting together your project.
