018 Preserving Digital Photos on an Online Website

Wednesday, September 1, 2010 @ 01:09 PM  posted by rob.dunford

Your niece’s wedding was lovely, and you were able to take some fun pictures of both family and friends that you saw there.  If you are like my wife, Jill, when you get back home, you download the pictures to your computer and perhaps crop them or adjust the color, etc.  She then generally erases them from her camera, so that she has room for new ones. Sometimes she posts them on the internet and sends a few choice ones to the people who are in the photos. And then what happens to them?  These are some of her thoughts:

It is easy to forget about the pictures that you have taken, and you may have many now on your computer.  But what happens if your computer fails, and those precious photos are wiped out?  Read more

016 How to Make a Photo Album

Wednesday, September 1, 2010 @ 11:09 AM  posted by rob.dunford

In this day and age, a discussion on “How to Make a Photo Album” is probably already within the expertise of many people. So this will be a quickie overview. It is similar to “013 How to Make Scrapbook Memories.” The biggest difference is that a photo album simply has photos without additional memorabilia or journaling, although the photos will need to be identified.

Digital photo sharing is the process of allowing others to see your photos, whether publicly or privately, usually via the Internet.  This ability is provided through private websites or blogs, by public website services like Flickr and Snapfish and also via direct email.

Although both your own blog or website and public website services may feature public and private options, sharing digital photos on your own blog is likely to be more secure.  However, your photos may be seen by fewer people, which may be good or bad, depending on your purpose.

You are likely to have greater control over the photos on your own blog or website than by using a service.   For example, you may choose to store your photo at full resolution whereas many services will reduce the resolution of your photo in order to save space.

Generally, one would share digital photos on his or her own blog or website to gain control; he or she would use a service if greater exposure to the pictures or more features – more stuff to do with your photos — is wanted.

Sending photos via direct email offers the greatest precision, allowing you to specify exactly which photos may be seen by whom, but file size is the limiting factor here.  Many ISPs (Internet Service Providers) limit email file sizes and attachments to about 10 megabytes, or only about 5 or 10 high-quality photos.

• Clarify your purpose and
• Establish objectives for your site.
