| First: Navigate
to your photo.
Second: You'll
find buy icons above each enlarged
photo:

Click "this photo"
to select just the one you're viewing. Gears will
turn to confirm its addition to the virtual shopping
cart. Click view cart
to check out using your credit/debit cards via
our ultra SECURE checkout process. The turnaround
time is typcially extremely quick! If you have
problems with your order, and ONLY your order,
you may contact help@smugmug.com. You may NOT
discuss non order issues with this contact obviously
as they will not be able to help you and merely
handle photo ordering issues and ONLY via email.
Any questions with our services/availability
or how to remove a photo from the site should
be directed to paul@charlestonpicturecompany.com.
If you have further questions about how to order
and/or view photos on our website, see below or
click on the Help items to the left. The links
to the left will pop a new window taking you to
SmugMug.com, our strategic partner's website,
at which you will be able to learn more about
our state of the art photo viewing and selling
technology!
Click many photos
to buy more than just the photo you're viewing.
You'll see a thumbnail of every photo in the album
so you can click to choose:

Selected images have red
borders. Click next and presto: you're
in your cart.
Cart confusion? Bet we know where:
1. The
duplicate button. 
Click when you want two different print sizes
from the same photo.
2.
Those odd blue lines on your photo.
It's a rude shock to discover that your photo
won't fit all print sizes without surgery. But
at least you're empowered with your own knife:
the
crop button.
Gotcha: If you
do nothing, only what's inside those blue lines
will print on your photo.
Option: Choose
the no-crop option
from the pull-down menu. Instead of cutting some
of your image to make it fit the paper, it will
add two white borders so nothing is lost.

3. Prints
for small cameras.
It's painful but true: all compact digital cameras
take 3x4 photos, which fit your TV perfectly but
do not fit 4x6, 5x7 or 8x10 paper perfectly.
One solution: buy 4xD prints.
4. I
want 36 matte and 21 glossy...

On top of your cart, you'll
find a quick way to copy any selection from one
print to a group of others.
5. True
or auto color?
Most smugmug subscribers are standard and power users.
For them, the color setting defaults to auto.
Autocolor is not the quick & dirty adjustment
found in desktop programs that foul as many images
as they improve. Our autocolor is based on i2e,
an industrial-strength commercial program that
harms very few photos but improves a high percentage.
True color is for professionals and serious amateurs
who adjust their photos perfectly. For pro accounts, true color is
the default. It's an option precious few labs
or home printers offer because auto white balance
and auto exposure on digital cameras are far from
perfect.
