I bought the calendar template pack from Cindy and Dani a while back and made one for myself a month or so ago, printed it at Shutterfly and loved it. I decided to make one for my mom with all the grandkids in it, so I solicited pictures from my sister and sister in law and worked on it for the last week or so. I wanted to order it the other night before the sale on Calendars ended so I stayed up til midnight to finish it up, get it uploaded, and ordered. Well, after I had loaded all the pages, and got them into the calendar I realized that I hadn't turned off their stupid vivid pic feature. The only way I know to do this is to do it before you create your calendar or whatever, so I started over with the calendar turned vivid pics off for each page, then went about creating the calendar again. It just seems like it could be more user friendly for those of us who edit our pics ourselves and upload our own work to use for the calendar. I've not turned off the vivid pics feature in the past and the pictures come back looking horrible. Anyway, in my hurry to meet the midnight deadline and be done I didn't choose the blank calendar. I didn't think it mattered because I was uploading templates that would cover the whole top portion of the calendar. WRONG! I just got the calendars and there is a very faint pattern on the bottom portion of the calendars where the dates are written. Luckily I didn't choose something really bold so that it looks horrible, but it just annoys me that they aren't as "perfect" as they could be. And I ordered 4 of them, so they are all that way. Ugghhh.

I'm starting to get really annoyed with Shutterfly and how big a pain it is to turn off the vivid pic feature and just upload full page photos for calendars and photobooks. I wish there was a feature to just turn it off and not have to do it individually, and yes, I am about to email them and tell them the same thing. Just wanted to vent. I knew y'all would understand.
