National Program Offers Consumers Advice on Printing Digital Pictures
The digital revolution has made it easy for consumers to capture more images, but with so many options available for printing -- online, photo labs and at-home printers -- many consumers are looking to understand how it all works. Starting April 29, 2007, workshops will be held every Sunday from noon until 2:00 p.m. through August 2007. - Participants will explore digital camera quality settings and what to consider when purchasing media cards, batteries and storage
- Digital Experts will teach basic editing skills and provide hands-on instruction using the Digital Order Stations
- Participants will learn how to make collages, calendars, photo mugs and other photo gifts at home and in-store
- No previous digital photography experience is necessary. All participants are encouraged to bring along their digital camera and ask questions. Discounts on photo products will be advertised in circulars with coupons available at each workshop
"Digital Sundays will provide consumers with the opportunity to learn the basics of digital photography and the various options available for printing at a convenient location -- their local CVS/pharmacy," said Mike Bloom, Senior Vice President of Merchandising for CVS/pharmacy. "Many consumers feel overwhelmed by the numerous printing options for digital photos. These interactive workshops will give them the freedom to have fun with their photos and will end some of the technology mysteries of digital cameras."
