pictage - good or bad? - 06-22-2006, 12:40 PM


since I'm not trying to place all my eggs in one basket so to speak, I've been looking at other album companies to be able to expand my options. I saw Pictage on the list but wanted to get some opinions before signing up. right now, they are offering a special for two months for $30.00 which allows 1000 images uploaded per month. I am mainly interested in the digital album option.....comments?

Run as fast and as hard as you can from them. They are bad news. Feel free to call or PM and I will go over everything I know about them with you.

The bent photograph is famous to the one who carries it and not at all famous to the one who is pictured.

Pictage seems to be ok for us. We mainly chose them for the free advertising promo when we signed up.

I second this, but to me the show killer is I AM NOT IN CHARGE OF MY PRODUCT. Meaning once I upload they color correct, print and mail to clients. And to me their printing suxs compared to my professional lab.

And besides all that, they are the worst spam monsters in the industry. Not only will your clients be pissed, but you will get spammed to hell and back as well.
