Your friends select a link within the email, which brings them to the Walgreens photo center web site. There, they're asked to type in their name and email address and choose a User name and Password. This ensures the privacy of your photos and creates new Walgreens photo center accounts for your friends, with viewing privileges for just the photos you invited them to see. In addition to being able to see all of your shared photos, your friends can easily order their own reprints or enlargements at no cost to you.

See my online photo named [photoname].

In addition, you can write a personal greeting in the text field. After your greeting, instructions for how to view your photo will be included in the email.

When you share an album, we include the following standard subject and message in the email we send on your behalf:

Subject: You're invited to view my online photos
Message: Be sure to add your comments to the guest book when you view my photos.

In addition, you can write a personal greeting in the text field. After your greeting, instructions for how to view your album will be included in the email.

Send the Message to your Friends
Select the SHARE ALBUM(S) NOW or SHARE PHOTO NOW button, and we'll email the invitation to the recipients you've chosen.

On the page that follows, you can return to viewing your photos by selecting the BACK TO PHOTOS button.

1. Log in to your account, and select the album you want to view.
2. Then select the Guestbook link.
3. You can also access the Guestbook when viewing a single photo in the enlarged view.

Once you're in the Guestbook of an album you own you can:

• see how many people have viewed your album
• add comments of your own
• remove individual friends' comments
• de-activate your Guestbook, preventing friends from accessing that album's Guestbook
• re-activate it if it was previously de-activated

Friends' albums in your account also have Guestbooks. If their Guestbook is active, you can read and add your own comments.

How to use the Guestbook
Whenever a new album is added to your account (either photos you upload or from moving/copying photos into a new album), a Guestbook for that album is created.

When you share that album with friends, your Guestbook is automatically shared. When your friends log in to view your album, they can select the Guestbook link while viewing your photos to read or add their own comments.

For example, if you share an album with your Uncle Jack and Grandma Beth, both of them can add comments, and they can read each other's comments. As the album owner, you can also add your own comments.

De-activating your Guestbook
If you'd like to prevent friends from reading and/or adding comments about your album, complete the following steps:

1. Log in to your account, and select the album you want to view.
2. Then select the Guestbook link.
3. A pop-up window will appear.
4. Select Close Guestbook to visitors.

You can do this before you share the album or any time after you share the album. As the album owner, you'll still have access to the Guestbook, but friends with whom you share the album will not be able to access it.

De-activating your Guestbook does not permanently delete the comments that are in it, but it does prevent friends with whom you shared from viewing it. To remove individual comments, press the Remove link under each comment.

Sharing Photos

Who can I share my pictures with?
You can share your photos with anyone who has an email address and can see Web pages.

Can I share one photo from an album?
Yes, you can. To share a single photo while viewing your album, select Share in the menu on the right side of the page. Then choose Share a photo or Share this photo.

Can I share more than one album at a time?
Yes, you can. To share multiple albums at one time, select the My Photos tab at the top of any page to return to your photo library. From there, select Share in the menu on the right side of the page. Then select Share albums.

Can I share only certain photos from an album, or do I have to share the whole thing?
When you share an album, your friends will see the entire album. However, before sharing an album, you can decide which photos will stay in that album. To move photos, select Edit & organize in the menu on the right side of the page. Then choose Move photos in the menu that appears below.

The Album Invite

What does the album invite look like when my friends receive it?
The From line on the email will be the first and last name on your Walgreens photo center account. The To line on the email will contain only the email address of an individual recipient. This means that recipients of a share email will not be able to see the email addresses of everyone else to whom you sent the share invitation.

The Subject line of the email is standardized, or it can contain whatever you decide to enter. The main part of the email will contain the personalized message that you typed in, plus instructions on how to see your photo or album(s) and a link to your photos.

If your recipients are able to view HTML-formatted emails, they will also see a preview of the photo(s) you shared with them. When you share an album, the first photo in the album will appear in the invitation email. When you share a single photo, the photo will appear in the invitation email.

Will the invitation email tell my invited friends what to do?
The email contains instructions that tell your recipients exactly how to see your pictures. All your recipients need to do is select the link provided in the email and then type in their email address and choose a password. You can add your own personal message to the invitation as well.

Are there any email attachments involved?
There are no attachments to emails sent from the Walgreens photo center web site. The pictures your friends see are securely stored in the Walgreens photo center computer system, and they are viewed on the Walgreens photo center web site.

When your friends receive the share invite email from you, they will select a link that brings them to the Walgreens photo center web site. They will then enter their name and email address and choose a User name and Password to create their own Walgreens photo center account. From there, they will view your photos.

Can I write a personal message or change anything in the album invite?
You can personalize the subject line and main message that will be sent to your recipients when you invite them to see your photo or album(s). The instructions on how to see your photos cannot be changed.

How do I change my mind about sharing if I'm in the middle of the process?
Just select the CANCEL button, and you will be returned to your library. The invitation email will not be sent.

How do I know the invitation was sent?
You will see a confirmation page that contains the name of the album(s) or photo and the list of email addresses from the invitation. If you want to keep a record of the people you've shared with, you can print this confirmation page.

After Sharing

Once I've shared a photo or album(s), what can my friends do with it?
By signing in to the Walgreens photo center using User name and a Password, your friends can see the album anytime, plus order reprints and enlargements of any pictures they choose. Your friends cannot move, edit, re-caption, or delete the photos within your album. As the album owner, only you have the ability to make changes to your album.

Can people I share with order reprints? Who pays for them?
Yes, anyone you share a photo or album(s) with can order reprints on their own, at no cost to you! When they order reprints, they will submit their own billing information. You will never be charged for an order that someone else places.

What do you do with the names of people I share with?
The email addresses are added to your Walgreens photo center address book, so you can share albums again without having to re-type email addresses. The Walgreens photo center will never use the email address of anyone you share with in any way other than to send an email invitation to share the album you selected.

Making Changes to a Shared Album

If I share an album and then make changes to it, can my friends see the changes?
Yes. You still own your album; your recipients just have an invitation to see it. So your albums are always under your control. If you want to add photos to an album, update photo captions or the name of the album, rotate photos, or delete them, then your invited recipients will see the same changes in your album the next time they view it.

When I share an album, can other people make changes to it?
No. Only the album's original owner can make changes to the album.

If I share an album and then choose to delete it, can invited friends still see the album in their own accounts?
No. After you delete an album, the recipients you have invited to see the album will no longer be able to see it.

I've shared an album, but don't want anyone to see it anymore. What can I do?
If you've already shared an album with friends, the only way you can prevent them from seeing it is by deleting it. One way you can do this without losing the photos is to move all the pictures into a new album and then delete the old, empty album.

Privacy of your Photos

Why do my friends have to sign up when I share my pictures with them?
Asking your friends to create their own account by typing in their email address and choosing a User name and Password ensures the privacy and security of your pictures.

When I share with someone, do they have access to my account and other albums?
Absolutely not! When you share an album or photos with a friend, only that specific album or photo can be seen by your friend. The photo(s) is viewed in your friend's own password-protected account on the Walgreens photo center site.

The only person with access to your account is you. Your friends create their own accounts by typing in their email addresses and selecting passwords. From their accounts, they will have viewing privileges only for the photo(s) you shared with them, and any albums that they themselves create.

Can the public see my pictures?
No. The only people who see your photo(s) are those people who receive an email invitation from you to see the photo(s). If you've given permission for your friends to re-share your album, they can also share it with others.
