Select, Arrange, and Count Your Photos
Collect and organize your photos.  Digital images and print photos needs to be arranged in a specific order for your photo montage.  Number them by placing Post-It (sticky) notes on the back of each photo. Please do not write on your photos with pen or ink, and please do not place your Post-It notes on the front of the photos. Count the total number of photo plus total video minute count if adding video clips and decide on the package that best fits your needs.
