Most anyone that has a computer has gotten into some type of digital photography or is at least considering it. In any event, they have been able to see many digital photographs. Perhaps they have been sent to their email from family or friends or they have seen them in photo albums.

There is so much more that can be done with these beautiful photos. Once you get the creative juices, flowing you will no doubt come up with multiple ideas and there will be no stopping you in your picture taking or the use of those photos.

Idea #1: If you are one of the many cell phone users in the world then you have the perfect portable photo album. It sure beats having to carry bulky albums to work or a purse full of pictures to show your friends. You can download your pictures to your phone and that?s it simple and easy. If you have, a real favorite then why not use it as wallpaper for your phone. Everybody is always trying to make their cell phones unique by using skins or ring tones. Using a favorite photo is the perfect way to accomplish this.

Idea#2: How many times have you gone into a place of business or office and admired the screen savers. Well how about being personal and putting one of your own photos on your desktop or laptop for that matter as your screen saver. If you do this at the office then you have a little touch of home with you. It is perfect because you do not have to clutter up your desk with those annoying photo frames that are always being knocked over.

Idea #3: Take some interesting photos and use them as your icons. It will become a challenge to you to find a photo that is intriguing. You get to use icons at numerous sites, and if you want to be remembered then this is one sure way to do it.

Idea #4: If you haven?t see the new digital photo frames then be sure to make it a point the next time you are shopping to check them out. They are amazing. It is just like turning the pages of a photo album, except there are no bulky books to store or hold. These really are an exceptional way to display your photos, and they make amazing gifts.

Idea #5: Do not be afraid to show off your exception photography talent by posting some of your best pictures on blogs and social networks. They are quite often a door opener for conversation.

You can do these just a few things with your digital photos. There are many more possibilities, though. Just use your imagination and have fun!

Idea #6: We talked about using photos as wallpaper on your cell phone but it is even more dynamic when you do this on your computer. When you get bored with a picture, it is a simple task to change it.

Idea #7: You can also use computer sharing website's like Flickr, Photo Bucket, Sony, Or Any Think else.

    I would say to put each of them in individual frames. It always makes them look classier and unique.

    I chose 3 really good pictures and got them enlarged on canvas for my loungeroom. They were images I took on holidays, one was boats in Sicily, one was a reflected building image on a river in Pisa and the other was a very French looking house in Burgundy. I got the boat one blown up quite bit and the other two a bit smaller. They print the pictures on canvas and stretch it over a wooden frame. I swear it looks completely like a painting. It's amazing - the canvas gives it texture and gives the room great bright colour. People who see it can't believe that a) it's a picture and b) I took it!

    That could be a more clear question but there are a few things. There are hundreds of websites. You can add frames but that can look cheesy when you have candycane frame on the kids with Santa, I guess fun for the home but still cheesy. Snapfish and other printing places in your town can do mugs, blankets, gravestones, cellphone skins, crystal hearts wit the picture engraved, cakes, dog bowl, underpants. Just about anything you dare imagine someone can put your picture on it.

    Of course large prints on the wall work for some people (mostly nerds).

    I think it's really creative to make a scrapbook like the girl did in My Sister's Keeper. Get some of your favourite pictures printed out and then stick them into a book and draw around them with different designs to really built atmosphere. Add poems and lovely phrases and stuff. It was so beautiful in the movie - I think that would be a really lovely gift.

    I have a couple of battery operated photo frames. You insert the memory card from the camera and every couple of seconds the photo changes. Reminds me of those changing portraits in Harry Potter...
    I also like to upload them on photo sites for my friends and family to look at whilst on the computer.
    I like to make collages and scrap book style pictures and frame them. I also use portraits and photos of landscapes to make jewellery for friends and family.
    Getting the photos enlarged and put onto canvas is also pretty cool. I don't really like the idea of putting photos onto mugs and plates and all that - it looks a bit tacky.
    I like the idea of changing the material the photo is printed on, instead of just printing it on standard photographic paper, make a wall hanging/ print on calico bag... and add other materials to it.

    To be creative, I would take 5 or 6 of your favorite photos up to 8x10's or the size you prefer, hang them on a string, twine or whatever suits your fancy, clip them up with clothes pins, paper clips, or other type of your choice. Get the photos in Black&White. The originality is impressive, makes a wonderful statement and a Great conversation piece. Will look good in any room.

    My daughter put her creativeness to work, I was very impressed, I always knew she had it in her.
    I also seen the idea in a magazine.
