Kodak Gallery
I’m saddened by the news of Kodak’s demise…
I have some very important news regarding your Kodak Gallery account and images. You may have heard that we recently entered into a process to sell Kodak Gallery as part of Kodak’s broader restructuring efforts. I am writing today to let you know that we have closed on a buyer: a public company called Shutterfly.
Although I am sad to announce that our Kodak-branded service will be closing on July 2 as a result of this sale, I am very pleased to announce that we have found a strong partner in Shutterfly. We will be working with them as we officially transfer your information and photo images to Shutterfly. They have an award-winning user experience that mirrors ours in many ways, and many of the services and products that you enjoy today on Kodak Gallery also exist at Shutterfly.

This is all well and good, but unfortunately, Shutterfly doesn’t offer the professional grade prints that I used Kodak for.
With Pro Prints You Get: Award-winning line of silver-halide color-negative papers Showcases interest and depth, color and incredible detail Archival papers set the standard for print longevity of 100+ years in typical home display and 200+ years in dark storage
Professional Paper Options Color: Professional Color Management gives outstanding color saturation, enhanced highlight and shadow detail Metallic Finish: Enhances water and sky landscapes with chrome-like feel, sharp detail Black & White: Enhances portraits and landscapes with dark blacks and intense whites with sharp archival characteristics

The Metallic Finish really pops, I’ll miss using it. Kodak also learned quite a bit from being Apple’s iPhoto print fulfillment back-end, Kodak’s process of uploading and ordering prints is a lot simpler than Shutterfly’s. Especially for non-typical photo sizes.
Well, if you were considering ordering a print from my website, or elsewhere, let me know before the end of June, so I can create it utilizing the better options that Kodak offers.
