			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You don&#8217;t have to have all these snazzy photo programs to print a decent photo on your PC.  Vista have a great tool which is easy to use and comes preinstalled on your machine.  Here&#8217;s how to use it&#8230;</p>
<ol>
<li>To Start click on the Vista Start Orb and select Pictures<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-894" title="Pictures" src="http://pctoolbox.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/1.jpg" alt="Pictures" width="126" height="28" /></li>
<li>Click once on the photo you wish to print.  If you wish to print multiple photos hold down &#8216;CTRL&#8217; on your keyboard whilst clicking on the photos you want to print.  Then click print at the top of the window.  (Click on the image to make it larger)<br />
<a href="http://pctoolbox.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-895" title="Images" src="http://pctoolbox.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2-300x215.jpg" alt="Images" width="300" height="215" /></a></li>
<li>A window will then appear.  You will than have a few decisions to make&#8230;
<ul>
<li>First of all select your printer, paper size and print quality from the drop down.</li>
<li>You can also choose how you wish the photos to be laid out on your paper by browsing the options on the right hand side (please note, if the options aren&#8217;t there it is because the paper size you have selected has no options to choose from).</li>
<li>If you want to print more than one copy of each picture you can by changing the number in the box.</li>
<li>The &#8216;fit picture to frame&#8217; stretches your photos so they fill up the entire space that you have given to each photo, but beware in some cases an edge of the photo maybe cut off by selecting this option.</li>
<li>If you click options you are taken to &#8216;print preferences&#8217;, colour management etc.<br />
(Click on the image to make it larger)</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://pctoolbox.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/3.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-896" title="Printing Options" src="http://pctoolbox.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/3-300x227.jpg" alt="Printing Options" width="300" height="227" /></a></li>
<li> When you&#8217;re happy with all your choices click print!</li>
</ol>

<p>It is designed so that people, once signed up, will be able to share and download all your photos.  So if you have close family and friends abroad it is an easy way to share them so they can download them as well!  Saves emailing them all!</p>
<p>When we gave Memeo a try we noticed a few problematic areas.  For example, the general photo/video organisation isn&#8217;t that great on some screens, so you have to scroll each time to view the whole image.</p>
<p>We would personally prefer to use Google Picasa because of this but it is still a good tool and worth a look if you&#8217;re just interested in sharing!</p>
