I have a number of friends both abroad and at other ends of the country and wanted to share photos of my little girl – She’s only 1 and I’ve turned into one of those irritating friends that doesn’t stop talking about their children. Digital Cameras haven’t really amazed me just yet so I went ahead and bought a scanner. The process of scanning in already developed prints was time consuming but worthwhile, then I heard ...
...but charges you for the printing of any photos. A pretty simple concept, however the execution is really inspiring. I recently joined and promptly received my introduction pack, including a selection of pre-paid envelopes in which to return my 35mm or APS films for developing. The opportunity to use the service arose after my Daughter’s first birthday when I went through a complete roll in the first hour of here party. The following day (Friday) ...

Review of fotango.com

I found Fotango from a link on Ciao's homepage. A day after signing up I received a package with two film envelopes and a voucher worth up to £6.49 for processing. I popped into one of the envelopes a disposable camera I had been meaning to have developed for ages. I posted this on Friday and by Tuesday morning I received my photographs, 24 of them sized 7" x 5". The same day I received an e-mail telling me my photo's where online. Once logged into ...
...into albums and give them captions. Other facilities included being able to e-mail a photo, or even an album of photo's, to a friend or turn them into e-greetings. The e-greeting option was fun, you can add things to your photo's like speech bubbles, objects and backgrounds and then write your message. You get the chance to preview your e-greeting before sending so that you can go back and change it if you are not happy with the result. You can ...

Review of fotango.com

I first came across Fotango through an affiliates scheme from either Tradedoubler or Commission Junction (I don't remember which), which of course puts me in mind of another opinion or two to be written!!! They approached me as a potential user of their shopping cart service before I ever used them to process photographs. I have a website (www.thedrawingroom.org) where people can request pictures to be drawn. As I provide this service for free, ...
...Fotango service has provided that opportunity. The service is known as 'print button'. You give them access to your ftp account, and upload hi-res versions of your pictures. They can then produce and sell your images on a variety of products; t-shirts, mousemats, mugs etc. You set the sale price somewhere above the base price of the product, and split the profit with Fotango. I can't say I've made my millions through this, but give it time! It is ...

Alternatively if you own a digital camera, you can have your photos uploaded to the web and printed onto Kodak paper. Then Fotango will send you your photos in regular "snail" mail. Their prices are relatively inexpensive and their service seems good. Just for joining I received ...

You can have a special photo put into a fancy frame, made into a jigsaw puzzle or printed on a T-Shirt, mousemat, mug, candle, place mat or even onto some tasty chocolate!! The photo is printed directly onto the choco ...

I had never heard of Fotango until I saw a link to it on CIAO, I clicked the link and they offered a FREE developing of your next roll of film. Being close to finishing a roll, and also being a bargain hunter this seemed like a good idea – so I joined! A few days later I got an envelope through the post from the company, enclosing a voucher for £6.49p (for developing costs) and also some pre paid envelopes to send the film up in. As soon as ...

On the following Wednesday my pictures arrived in the post, along with confirmation on how to view them online (it gives you your password for the roll of film etc). The quality of prints was as good as I have ever got from any developer, and the service was fast, and even better this time was FREE! So what exactly happens when you use the service? ...

Review of fotango.com

I won a prize on the internet and it turned out to be a free disposable camera, film development, on-line copies of the photographs and a hard copy of all the photographs. The company that provided me with this little bundle of goodies was Fotango. Being the sceptic that I am, I did not expect too much, especially as it was free. However, what a pleasant surprise. My bright orange disposable camera arrived within forty eight hours. I snapped away ...
...four hours later I received an email saying that I could view my photographs on line. However, you do not have to buy a disposable camera from them. You can send them any film from any camera and they will develop them for you. The pictures were great. I used some as wallpaper variations for my computer. I could print off any of the ones I liked, or send them via email to friends and family. The had copies arrived soon afterwards. I only got this ...

Well they are only dirty pictures if you are the type of person who takes pictures of yourself in the nude but I got your attention eh? Nah I bet I never what with you all being porn hardened net junkies? (Besides which I have no idea if they would allow dirty pictures maybe I should put that to the test.) Still Fotango had a great idea to allow us all to appear on the web. Ciao had the great idea of arranging for us all to try this for free. So ...

So I have several films (understatement) dating back a few months (or back to New Year ...

Review of fotango.com

Fotango is quite a useful service, but only if you're a lazy photographer, or like me if you would be if you could afford to be. The basic concept is that you send (in a freepost envelope) you film to the company, who develop it and put it in a private gallery online so that you can go and peruse them, and then decide which you would actually like a hard copy of. Unfortunately (though of course quite deliberately), the pictures on the website are ...
...good photos that you want printed out. By my calculations, if you are lazy with your picture taking, and only end up with 16 pictures on a film that you might like, and you wait till you've used 2 rolls because getting any pictures printed it's cheaper (since there's a bulk discount) - but if that sounds a little extreme as limits, then you might as well just get them developed the normal way (and anyway, surely you get more pleasure from a 30 picture ...

I have my photos developed in Fotango twice. So far I am very satisfied with their service. After registering online, they sent me two freepost envelopes. It costs £4.99 for up to 40 exp film and the postage is £0.85 per item. However, it’s free to get photos uploaded to their website. I sent them the film on Monday. On Wednesday, the photos were online, and the print photos and the negatives arrived on Thursday, together with a free photo ...
...papers for the print photo, so the quality is rather good. Comparing with Boots’ free upload service, I am happier with Fotango. There are some reasons. First, with Boots, the photos can stay online for free for only one month. After that, you have to pay £3 for a year, etc. whereas Fotango will keep your photos online forever. Second, with Fotango, you can save the photos in your computer in JPEG format, but with Boots, you can only see your ...

Fotango are a revolutionary company that virtually turns your conventional film camera into a digital camera, by offering to develop your APS and 35mm films for free, and convert the images into JPEGs for you to download or view online. They also send back your developed negatives or film, so they can be reprinted at a later date. Sound a good idea? I thought so too. I filled in the form and sent away for the introduction pack, which includes some ...

Review of fotango.com

I have now used Fotango three times. The first time was to upload some of my scanned images and images from a digital camera on to their site. This seemed to take a bit of time but worked well. Then I used it to buy a photo mug for a Christmas present. This arrived in plenty of time and I was quite impressed. I was expecting the photo to be small and not very good quality. Of course, some quality is lost but there were two copies of the photo on ...
...The most recent use was to get an 2 APS films and one 35mm film developed by them. I received my 2 APS films (this took about 2 weeks to get back). You can either order a full set of prints when you send it away or ask for them to be uploaded to the site only or both! It worked out at £5.99 for each film to be developed and have all the pictures on put on the site by Fotango. If you order prints later it costs 49p per 6x4 print so is slightly more ...
