The wife uses "shutterfly". It does this nice slideshow thing, and doesn't seem to inundate you with advertising.

Best online method to show off kids pictures to friends, family
What's the best way to show pictures to friends and family? I have picassa and photoshop elements. With my DSLR, I am looking for something to easily unload the pics from my camera, do some minor editing and then post it. Ideally, if this can be done within one software, that would be great...
What are you parents doing?
Secondly, anyone doing the 'shot a day' - and no, i don't mean alcohol!!! I mean taking one picture a day of your kid..._______________

I guess there's nothing wrong with what you say, but don't sell me 'there can't be better ways.' Tell the captain 'this boat's not safe, we're drowning', turns out he's the one making waves. Reply With Quote

I use photobucket and p/w protect it
I have also used Google photos, but their storage limits are high.
Many also use picturetrail.
If you are sharing via Messenger, I LOVE Hello!_______________ Reply With Quote

I use www.smugmug.com, which is a pay site dedicated to sharing pictures. It's around $45/yr but the service is good. There are no ads, or storage or bandwidth limits.

Oh, it's lonesome away from your kindred and all,
By the campfire at night where the wild dingos call,
But there's nothing so lonesome, so dull or so drear,
Than to stand in the bar of a pub with no beer. Reply With Quote

Smugmug +1
That's what I use to share my photos.
I password protect the people photos (90% of all my pictures) just to maintain some privacy. Family loves it.
The cool thing with smugmug is that if a family member really likes a photo you posted of your child (or any other), he can order a print directly from the website.Last edited by Whiplash7828; Mar 15th, 2007 at 07:46 AM.

Mar 15th, 2007 06:25 AM #8It's tiny if you're uploading 10 megapixel pics, but there's no need for that. Resize them to 1024x768 and they're just as good for viewing online. At about 100kB each, you can store 10,000 pics in a 1GB account....that's more than any family or friends would want to see.

Is there a software that can do all of this at once: Originally Posted by Rehan

Mar 15th, 2007 08:05 AM #11Agreed, nothing I hate more than the enormous pics my family members always send after events. I didn't really NEED a 7MB image file of Uncle Cletus falling over drunk again. Originally Posted by Rehan

Mar 15th, 2007 08:59 AM #13I use Photo Cleaner Pro to batch process images. It sharpens, adjusts brightness, automatically rotates and puts borders on the pictures. It can also save to any format but I stick with 100% jpg. Originally Posted by skanji

I do have a flickr subscription but that's only for other types of pictures.

Mar 15th, 2007 10:46 AM #14JAlbum does it all but automatic uploading. It creates local directory structure with correct URLs and all, then you can use IE to FTP it to web space of your choice. Or use Picasa with picasaweb Originally Posted by skanji
