That’s a good question. Turns out that you can do quite a bit with the free account, but the Premium account does provide more options — after all members who pay should get something extra to justify their subscription costs!
By signing up as a free member, you are limited by some options:
- You can only upload a thousand photos.
- You can only backup to your computer, one album per day.
- You can download 5 photos per day.
- You can download a limited amount of Pro Shots photos.
For anything that’s put up in italics in the list above, be assured that they will be explained in a later post.
So what do you do if you don’t want to live with the limitations? Simple — you either sign up as a Premium member, or upgrade your free account to the Premium level. Having said that, many newcomers to Webshots can continue their free accounts, and upgrade later whenever they start making more use of the site.
For the next few posts, we’ll only explore the free accounts although everything explained in these posts will certainly work for Premium members as well.
