Also, can you recommend any online digital photography courses at the beginner to intermediate level?
For your 1st question — A simple way to cut costs while printing photos is to print multiple pictures on one large photo sheet.

That is, instead of 4 separate 4R (4 x 6 inch) prints, you can simply print them all on one A4 sheet, and later cut them to size.

Many printer manufacturers now even bundle software printing applications that let you do that easily. This way, a pack of 15 sheet Photo Paper Pro media can give you 60 prints, which is comparatively more cheaper than the 20 sheet 4R pack.

For your 2nd question — Check out David Peterson’s site (Digital Photography Secrets) for an online course book on digital photography.

In the credits of Smokin Aces there is a picture of each actor with their names next to it,The pictures are edited and in different colors apparently the style used is called "posterisation"

Where can i find a free photo editing site that will allow me to edit a picture in this style?

Alternatively,is there any free software that i can download and use to edit my pictures in this style?
a GREAT place to edit pics.,.
picnik.com
they are free too .

The old photo albums that I am referring to are the kind where you put a picture on a sticky cardboard and cover, I believe, with a piece of cellophane or plastic. After a few years the pictures become stuck in the photo album and are almost impossible to remove without ripping the pictures.
I just went through this – for 2 years….remounting into acid free albums and pages….ended up with 15 albums……

Anyway – go to a good scrapbooking store or a major office supply store and look for adhesive remover in the scrapbook aisle. It is expensive but will easily remove your pictures.

How can I create a family/photo album with ubuntu.
I wanna do this offline, so I need some software to do it with.
It’s got to be a bit like Adobe Elements cs3, or something simular as you see as online web album creators.
I am not into photo editing or creating albums but have u tried google picasa?

Thats the only app I can think of.
