| - So many great gift ideas here! I got the 6 picture shadow box and it looks so much cooler than your standard picture collage frame. With the shadow boxes, you stick a magnet on the back on the pictures and then there's magnets in the shadow box that the pictures cling to. This is nice because it's easy to swap out pictures or move them around.
The pictures print on a fairly thick cardboard and you have the option of adding captions below them. Editing the pictures is super easy at the store and there's lots of computers available. You can bring your pictures in on a flash drive, load them from your phone, email them, or even take them straight from instagram or facebook. You can also set up an account beforehand and load the pictures onto your fotobar account before you go to the store. Like instagram, you can add various preset filters and change the contrast, saturation and so on. It's a pretty straightforward process, but there were also employees readily available to offer assistance. Once you're done you just pay up at the counter before the pictures get printed. You can either have them email you or text you when the pictures are done. Super easy! They told me it would be about 15 minutes, but I don't think it took more than 5.
While I was waiting for the pictures, I took a walk around the now free museum. Glad this is no longer $5 because it's certainly not worth it. I guess it's neat to check out, and a good way to pass the time while waiting for pictures to be printed, but certainly not something worth making a special trip to see.
My one big complaint about this place is that you have to print a minimum of 6 pictures if you choose the standard small picture size. They're $1 each which is already a little on the steep side, so having to print 6 if you really only want a few is a pain. They also sell single picture shadow boxes so it seems like they should then offer the option to print 1 picture. Oh well. I'll be probably be back, but I guess I need to wait until I have 6 pictures I really want printed!
