How to take photos from videos
Videos can be full of spontaneous, exciting photos.
When hikers hopped the fence above this Yosemite waterfall, I took a video. “Either you guys should come back now,” I said, “or I’ll be selling this to the news.” Fortunately, they were OK. Here are photos I snapped from the video.
It’s easier than ever to get a good photo from your videos with free software that snaps photos from your videos.

How can I share just one dotphoto album without showing my other albums?
We get this question a lot. If your albums are not protected by a guest password, they are public and can be seen by anyone invited to your album or MyWebsite.
The simple solution is: (1) Add a guest password to your albums in MyAccount and (2) Apply a different password to an album or group of albums that you want to share.
To test what a guest will see, sign out of your dotphoto account, open a private browsing window, and sign in as a guest, or paste your sharing link into your browser URL

Other uses include finding missing persons and demonstrating medical and skin treatments

Stephen Wilkes creates “Day to Night” photographs by planting himself in one spot for 24 hours and snapping as many as 1,500 photographs of the same frame.
When he’s done, he chooses the photos that capture the greatest hits of the 24-hour period, and lays them over one another to create one grand image. The result is stunning.
Add Information to the Front of a Photo
My grandparents displayed framed photos of people in black tie dinners on a guest room wall. I will never know who the people were and what they were celebrating. The significance of many photos – perhaps most – is lost to history because most photos are unmarked.
dotphoto enables you to add titles and names to the front of any photo with the dotphoto Editor. Share your family history by adding some narrative to important photos. You can keep the original photo in your dotphoto account as well as the annotated version.
Back-Printing is Back!
dotphoto’s small-print lab has installed new back-printing equipment that will again reliably print on the back of small photos including 4×6, 4xD, and 5×7.
The default back-print is the photo file name or caption and the photo capture date or upload date. The back-print field is 40 characters long.
You can set your default back-printing in your dotphoto account’s Printing Options.
