Digital Image Sharing

Chapter 4 lists several websites that allow you to edit, share, organize, and print digital photos. Create a chart comparing and contrasting at least four different photo sharing sites. Include pricing information as well as answers to the following questions: Can you choose to make your pictures private? Can others download your photos or only view them? Are you able to set copyright options for your images? Make a recommendation to your instructor on which site is the best and give the rationale for your decision. Follow your instructor’s directions for proper formatting of your research.

For the Web Project questions, your answer should be written in clear English in about 300 words. Of course, the quality of the content is more important than mere length.

My Choice:

Flickr.It offers a great selection of tools, extensive tagging features and support for both viewing and downloading photos at a variety of resolutions (including, unusually, the full original size).

A very easy drag-and-drop system allows you to organize albums of your photos and collections of photos from you and other photographers. Once you have created an album of photos you like, you can print a 20-page photo book for $34.95 (plus 50 cents each extra page). Overall, Flickr being Editor\'s Choice award winner is the top pick, thanks to its massive amount of storage and a simple, clean interface that makes it a joy to use.
