How To Save Your Christmas Photo Cards

I love getting Christmas photo cards from
family and friends, but what to do with them 

after they're taken off the fridge?
They are too cute to pack-up. 

I take a picture of each card using my iphone.

I categorize them in my photos library

the next time I sync it to my Mac computer

 as Christmas Cards 2014. 

I can see the changes in everyone 

from year to year.

This works with school photos or any photos 

you want to add to your photo library.

You can tag the photos (add names) if

you want to search a particular person

at a later date.

You'll have all the options in your

computer's photo library.

You can even just capture part of a photo.

Below is a close-up shot of photo  #5 .

Now a great thing I like to do is to use 

the photos to fill in any profile pics

 in my phone's contact page.

Below are screen shots of my phone

as I did this. Hope it helps.

Here's John (info have been changed to

protect the innocent) with no profile

pic. See the add photo in the circle?

Go to the edit mode and tap that circle.

You'll have the option of choosing a

photo in your phone; like the ones

you've just taken, or just taking

another one now....take or choose.

I took a close-up of 'Joe'

moved it to center and 

tapped 'use photo'

Now I see 'Joe' when he calls

or when I bring up his contact

info on my phone. 

Everyone in my phone has a photo,

even businesses. Why? Because

it's fun and easy. Let me know if you

have any questions. 

Cheers!
