One of the gifts I'm planning on giving my GF this year is a big picture collage with pictures of us and our dogs. I bought the Picture frame already, it has 7 individual 5x7" picture frames all attached to one another. Now I need to physically have pictures to place in them, but all the pictures we have are on FB of course. Has anyone had luck printing photos from Facebook? Do I need to save the photos to a flash drive and take it someone like target? Any tips or tricks will be greatly appreciated :)

You don't have the pics anywhere but FB? They compress the crap out of everything, so unless you are printing a 2x2, they are going to look like crap. Even straight from your phone would be better.

Unfortunately no. My GF and/or her friends are always taking pictures when we're out so all of the original files are on their phones. I can't tell you the last time I saw someone (either my friends or hers) with an actual camera. Everything is with phones then straight to Facebook...

Girls don't usually delete photos. Hit her friends up on FB for the photos you want and see if they can send you the originals. Then, if things don't work out with the GF, you also have a plan B.

Ditto x 2.
