Just like too many people, my personal photos get processed, catalogued and forgotten. I need a means by which I can enjoy them.

| On-line | Easy to manage. Relatively cheap. Accessible anywhere via the internet. | Need on-line access. View limited to the size of a monitor. Quality limited by the platform. |
| Photo Books | Portable. Easy to share. Good quality. | Expensive. Difficult to group share. Long-winded production. Need for local software. Quality dependant on printer. Time from production to delivery. Distribution challenges. Back-ups dependant on supplier. |
| TV | Good quality – HD. Excellent for producing more of an audio-visual experience. Relatively cheap after initial software and hardware outlet. Files can be uploaded to share. Easily backed-up and duplicated. | Initial software costs. |
Not a definitive list, but a general starting point.
