As part of Eastman Kodak’s efforts to be a much slimmer business, the
imaging and photography company is restructuring, selling its online
sharing and storing site, Kodak Gallery,
to Shutterfly for $23.8 million in March.
Kodak Gallery will close on
July 2, and each user’s account will automatically transfer to
Shutterfly. Users that do not want to make the transition to Shutterfly
can opt out, but they can only do so before the May 28 deadline.
In the transition from Kodak Gallery to Shutterfly, users’ personal
photos will be moved to Shutterfly’s website free, but all previous
projects such as photo books and calendars need to be completed and
purchased by noon on July 2. According to Kodak Gallery’s announcement page,
Kodak has not yet determined if shared albums, group albums and sharing
sites will be accessible after the site closes, but it will keep its
customers updated. Note that if you are a Kodak Gallery Europe customer,
these changes will not affect your account.
