QOOP Blog

Let's say you made a really cool photobook on QOOP or maybe an awesome poster using our new poster builder—something that you are sure your friends and family will want as well. Now there's a simple way to provide them with a link to order a copy of your creation.

The confirmation email you received when you placed the original order contains a "Re-Order Item" button. This button contains a link that will create an exact copy of whatever product you made on QOOP. You can send this link to anyone via email, or post it in a blog or a website. To copy the link, right-click on the button (command-click on a Mac) and copy the link to the clipboard. You can then paste the link into a email, blog, or website.

Can't find your confirmation email? You can get the link from your prior order history in your QOOP account [https://store.qoop.com] (you will need your QOOP account userid and password). Go to My Account, then to Previous Orders. In the previous orders list, find the item you want the re-order link for. Look for the View button to the right of the item listing. Then use the same procedure as for the "Re-Order Item" button above to copy the link, which you can email or post as desired.

Do you have a really great photo that a normal print just doesn't do justice to? Turn your photo into an impressive canvas print similar to those in high-end photo galleries. Our canvas print builder makes it easy to print your photos on canvas for a true professional look.

You can choose to have your canvas prints rolled or gallery wrapped. Rolled prints are shipped in a sturdy mailing tube so that you can mount as you desire. Gallery wrapped prints are shipped already stretched and secured to wood stretchers with staples and ready to be hung or framed. Prices start at $29.99 for a rolled 11" x 14" print and there are many sizes to choose from.

Note that canvas prints require higher resolution photos. If your regular photosharing site won't let you upload high-resolution photos (or if you don't have a photosharing site) you can now upload your hi-rez images directly to our servers to create your prints. See the previous post "Direct Upload Your Photos to QOOP" for more details.

We've given our poster builder a major facelift and added cool new tools and features. Check out this video to see how the poster builder works:

The new builder has preset layouts, a set of editing tools, and resizing and layering options. Try it out and make a custom poster with your photos today (you could have it on your wall in about a week):

Take multiple pictures from a vacation and arrange them and resize them within the preset layout options. Change the background color and add a header and/or footer if you want...many text options there as well. Preview the poster and send it off to print. We want your feedback about our new poster builder so try it out and let us know what you think. Submit feedback (positive or negative), comments, questions, etc using our feedback form.

Build a custom calendar on QOOP using your own photos. We will print your calendar with professional equipment on high-quality paper and deliver in about a week. To begin creating your calendar, first select your photosharing site from the list of our many partners. Click the icon for your photo sharing site, then click the "Order Prints" (or similar) link on your photosharing site and select Calendar from the list of products. If you don't have a site or want to use higher resolution images for the best possible results, you can upload your photos directly to us using the "Upload Images" button.

The ability to use QOOP to print your images stored on our partner's photosharing sites (facebook, photobucket, flickr, webshots, etc.) makes it easy to turn your digital images into custom-printed products. But what if your photosharing site doesn't allow you to upload the high-resolution images needed for larger prints, canvas prints, posters, etc? Or what if you want to add more photos to your product after you have already clicked over to QOOP from your photosharing site, and you don't want to go back to your photosharing site to upload more images?

That's where our new direct upload tool comes in. On the "Select Photos to Print" screen on any of our product builders, you can directly upload images to our servers. Now you can upload the highest resolution images you have when creating your products to obtain optimum results. It's quick, it's easy and it's free.

We have established a feed to Technorati to help you keep up-to-date with the latest happenings at QOOP. Add us to your Technorati watch list or use the "Fave this Blog" button:

in the right-hand column above the Search box to add us to your Technorati favorites list.

Just in time for the holidays, get volume discounts on all calendar purchases. Calendars make great personal gifts for friends and family. Instead of giving run-of-the-mill store-bought calendars, why not make your own custom calendars from your images?

And with our volume discounts, you can afford to give a calendar to everyone on your list. Build your calendars now and get your shopping done early!

Log into your regular photosharing site to create your calendars from your uploaded images. (And if you don't have a photosharing site, you can now upload your hi-rez images directly to our servers to create your Calendars. See the previous post "Direct Upload Your Photos to QOOP" for more details.)
