Online Photo Albums

[Barney McGrew]

Any suggestions on how is the best way to display quite a lot of photos. I have both a large collection of family photos and work related ones I wish to upload and display as Galleries etc but not sure if it would be best to install some software on a server or use one of these online services etc.

I'd use flickr or google picasaweb.

I can't make me mind up though so currently using both.

I use coppermine

Coppermine is good, currently playing with zenphoto which is easy to use but very basic - no slide shows etc.

Flickr is ok as well - the free version only allows you three sets or albums, or you can upgrade for $25

I've got online albums all over the place.. photobucket, flickr, facebook, myspace.  Did have a coppermine gallery but that went when I didn't renew my hosting.

Thanks for the suggestions, I shall look into them all. On a similar subject, I have now gathered quite a few photos of the children I wish to put on a DVD so that relatives can brose them like a slide show. I have Nero which comes with an option but I have to add each phot which is rather long winded.

Any ideas on a suitable application to allow the making of a photo DVD for browsing on the TV etc.

Picasa will do that for you.

One of the benefits was it syncing nicely with the picasa web storage as well.

Cheers Chris, Picasa seems to be doing the job well now I have it all orgoanised on which folders to scan. Thanks..
