New photo features available today on Spaces
We added two new photo features to Spaces this evening.
High resolution photo upload
Now you can share high resolution photos on Spaces. When you upload your photos, select Optimize photos for printing. When you upload higher resolution photos, your photo albums look even better than before, especially when viewing them in full screen mode.
Note: the uploading process may take longer than before because high resolution photos are significantly larger in file size.
Photo printing by HP Snapfish
We’re also announcing a partnership with HP Snapfish to offer photo printing for Spaces. Photo printing is available right now in the US and we’ll be rolling out this feature to other markets in the future.
To create a print, visit a Spaces photos album and click Order prints.
Select the photos you want to print from that specific album, and then click Next.
You will then be taken to the HP Snapfish website to order your prints. After you create a HP Snapfish username, you can order prints of your selected Spaces photos as well as additional photo items such as calendars, coffee mugs, posters, and greeting cards.
We hope you enjoy these new Spaces photos features. As always, keep your feedback coming. We are listening.
