You may see this "We're Sorry" screen when you click on "Order Prints" on the www.GoodLifePhoto.com opening web page.
This is because the ordering and gallery program I use to run our online gallery needs to work with Internet Explorer version 7 (or higher). You will get this page asking for you to download to the current Internet Explorer 8 (IE 8) version. If you do not want to upgrade to "IE 8 " I would recommend that you download Firefox. You can find this at www.firefox.com . This is a very stable web browser and we highly recommend this program. So do this now and then we can move on to the veiwing and ordering of images.
(
To determine what version of internet explorer you are using- you can check by clicking on tools - then internet options. A box will pop onto your screen which will tell you the version you are currently working with.)
If you get this page- then you have to upgrade or download another browser.
Now open the browser of your choice (IE7, Firefox or Safari). Click on "Order Prints" on the GoodLifePhoto.com home page. You now may see this screen. Don't worry- you are being asked to download a little program by Microsoft called "Silverlight". This Microsoft program runs the online galleries. Just click on the green "Get Silverlight" bar to get started.
A new browser window (or tab) will open. Go ahead and click on
"Click to Install"
Click on "Run" - give it a little time to download. It is a small program and will not take long. Then click on "Run" to start the install process.
 
Next you will see
the Silverlight install window. Click on "Install now" - once it is installed you will be asked if you want to enable Microsoft updates. You do not have to check this. Click on "Next"
 
You will now see this window. You have installed Silverlight and are ready to place an order. You can close this window (or tab).
If you are wanting to view a friends online gallery ***skip to the bottom of this web page for details***
Now click on the "Order Prints" selection on the GoodLifePhoto.com home page. Give the web page time to download and open. You can sign up with a new user account if you want. This will give you a free online gallery for one year (you can share this with friends and family). Or just click on "Order Prints" to get started.
Click on "Add Photos" then browse to the location on your computer where you store your photos. Click on the images you would like to upload. You can hold down the control key and click on multiply images to select several at a time. Once you have selected the images- click on "Upload"
Give the images time to upload. The speed depends on your internet upload speed and number and size of images being uploaded. This is a good time to get a cup of coffee or take a nap. :)
Once the images are all uploaded you will see a screen like this. (in this example I just uploaded one image). Click on the top part of the image- this selects the image and turns it green. Click on the size of print you would like to order. (click on the + sign to add prints and the - sign to remove prints).
Here is an example of a lot of images uploaded.
If you want to see a larger view of the image before you order it. You can click on the middle part of the preview image. You will see "view" click on the view and a large image preview will show up. You can't order from this view. To go back just click on the back arrow in the GREY BAR on the right side of the screen. (NOT the back arrow of the browser).
Once you have selected all the images to be ordered. Click on "Checkout". A review of your order will show up. This is a very cool page. You can change the number of prints you want on this page and even crop the image from this page. The crop lines are in green on the images change the crop be clicking on the + or - signs.

It takes some time. You will see and blue circle with a percentage as it begins to download the galleries. Next you will see a blue line begin to move along the grey bar in the middle of the page. This is just showing you the progress of the loading of the galleries.
If you are ordering and viewing from your own gallery you will see a Good Life Photo Logo instead of the AngieSvoboda Photography Logo in these screen shots.
.
You will slowly start to see all the galleries come onto the screen.

Click on the gallery you would like to place an order from. You will notice that it opens and allows you to click on "View"- go ahead click on it. :)
This first page is just a preview page of all the images in the gallery. You can use the sliders on the right side of the screen (shown with pointing arrows) to make the images larger and move down the page. Remember this is just a preview page.
