What's the best way to share photos?

Now that MobileMe Gallery is gone, what's the best way to share photos over the internet?
Is there some simple method where I can upload an entire album from iPhoto and then send a link to others so they can view them?
I've tried both Flickr and Shutterfly and did not like either.

Thanks for the idea, but it still seems kinda kludgy.
I find it best to focus on solutions.
Why can't iPhoto just pull the images from a media browser or something over the network?
I don't know. Part of the issue has to be that iPhoto is not a HD browser. Another part is what you mean by " ... just pull the images".
Any tips on creating a locally hosted web gallery?
My greatest single tip of all time: try it! The tools available to use for just a few hundred dollars are astoundingly powerful.
Or... does anyone have any Automator magic they'd like to share?
No need. Web galleries are built into Aperture 3. Put the images you want to be in the gallery in one Album (Smart or otherwise). Select all the images. Click "New→Web Page". Select a theme. Change some of the text. Make some other changes. Click "Export Web Pages ... ". Make some more decisions. Give the folder a name. Save it somewhere with access to those whom you wish to see it. Select "Tell me when done". Check your email (have a coffee). Click "Show in Finder". Open the folder. Double-click the file "index.html". Brilliant! Enjoy.
The trick to sharing this is to make the folder available. The index file will always open the web site pages in a web browser.

    What are the best ways to share photos from iPhoto?

    If you use Adobe Photoshop, or even Adobe Photoshop Elements, stay as far away from iPhoto as possible.
    iPhoto does not play nice with Adobe software or with software from any other third party developer.
    iPhoto will hide your image files in a library paradigm where you have no access to them other than through iPhoto.

  • What is the best way to manage photo's with multiple login accounts?

    There are three people in my household and each has their own login into the computer. I also have and external drive.  Space is becoming short on the computer, so I want to move all my photos and music to the external drive.  I have moved all the music files and folders to the external drive and then each user has just updated their individual iTunes folders, pointing to the external drive.
    However, what is the best way to manage photo's? Do I do this same process or is there another way? I don't want any music or photo files on the computer's hard drive at all if it can be avoided.

    I am presuming that we cannot share downloaded apps and music between accounts because of the copyright issue,
    Though I'm no copyright lawyer, as long as it's within a household, you can share content among users. Such sharing is, absent specific language preventing it not present in the iTunes Store terms of use, generally considered to be "personal use". So you can share apps and music amongst your users on your computer and with their devices. You just can't give any of that content to friends or relatives who don't live with you.
    What I am not clear on, it making sure that this appears in each itunes account - is it easy to find the file storage folders that match the itunes accounts and what would these be?
    The iTunes library and files are by default in a user's Home/Music folder. But you don't have to find the folder; in fact putting a file into the folder yourself won't add the file to iTunes. Just drag the file into the iTunes window. iTunes will copy it to the correct location.

    What is the best way to share an entire photo folder with lots of photos from iPhoto '09 with both Mac and PC Users?
    I got over a 100 photos in just 1 of my photo folders.

    There's gotta be an easier way to share an entire photo folder...

    Awesome, thx for clarifying it

  • What is the best way to share over 1000 pictures on Apple TV?

    What is the best way to share over 1000 pictures on Apple TV?

    Creating Shared Photo Streams:
    Shared Photo Streams are permanent iCloud albums for storing photos and videos that can sync across all your iCloud-enabled devices. This is different from your "My Photo stream" that's basically a running tally only holding photos for about a month or 1,000. Shared streams follow different rules...
    In your photos app in an iPhone or ipad, at the bottom you'll see a "shared" icon.  Choose it and then create a new shared stream, you don't have to actually share it with anyone when it prompts you for a contact just click "Create".  Then choose the photos you want in there.  If your Apple TV is linked to your iCloud account you will be able to see those shared streams.
    See here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5902.
    Apple states:
    How many photos and videos can be stored in a shared stream?
    A shared stream can hold a maximum of 5000 photos and videos combined. When you reach your limit, you must delete some photos or videos before adding new ones.
    How long are iCloud Photo Sharing photos and videos stored in iCloud?
    The photos and videos you share (and the comments or Likes associated with those photos) remain in iCloud until you or the contributor delete them manually, or until you delete the shared stream completely.

  • What is the best way to share a iTunes library between 5 users on the same computer?

    What is the best way to share a iTunes library between 5 users on the same computer?
    Currently I have a common itunes library in a shared folder that each user is linked to.  The problem is that when one user adds music to the shared file, it does not automaticaly appear to other users when they open their iTunes.  They have to go to the shared library and select the new music in order to make it visable in their iTunes.
    Would iTunes file shareing fix this problem?
    Thanks

    Rick, are you saying that if you try to share a folder outside of home and use sharepoints, then the other mac wont prompt you to log in? Have you tried that? It is hard to believe that is the case
    I am sort of saying that. Have you tried it? I know it's hard to believe, but you really need to help us out by trying some steps that you don't believe.
    We can't see what your exact situation is. We sort of know what's worked for us out here. Just trying to help you get this going in less than 24 hours!
    Sharepoints manages the samba configuration file. It's free software that puts a pretty face on an otherwise cumbersome config file.
    Give it a shot.
    windows will not prompt for passwords, I have tried this with multiple computer at home for both vista and xp
    As I stated. You will not get prompted on windows, if you have set up sharing in an insecure fashion. You are not using a secured sharing situation.
    No argument with your statement.

    I've always been partial to Numark and Audio-Technica. Have several DJ friends and a client who runs a DJ business, and they use Audio-Technica stuff almost exclusively.
    You may be surprised at how easy it is...
    With the exception of cameras (webcams especially) Macs are pretty much "Plug &Play" with anything USB, and even though I've never used one, reviews say you just plug the turntable in and it reads as a drive.

  • What is the best way to share the High Res images ...

    What is the best way to share the High Res images on my Nokia Lumia 1020?  My Android friends really want to see the original ~12MB images taken with Nokia Pro Camera?
    -Paul
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    if you have the att device, then use your att locker.
    ANYONE can sign up for the att locker here:
    https://locker.att.net/app/#welcome
    even if you do not have ATT service, you should sign up NOW.
    There is an application that is pre-installed to allow for the 1020 to upload the full resolution files to the AT&T locker.
    AND, because they are launching the 1020, they are giving a free upgrade to the account to the 50GB box instead of the 5GB.
    they are doing this for a limited time only, I have created a couple of accounts.
    after you create your account, it will have to be verified. after you check your email and verify the box, log back in and you will see it is only a 5gb account.
    click on "my Account/upgrade" and choose the 50GB and you should see it say FREE under the cost.
    then you can upload the full res pictures and share them that way.
    otherwise, if you are within reach, try Bluetooth transfer.

    With supervised ipads, what is the best way to transfer photos and videos to the PC? Wireless transfer is not an option in our circumstances.

    There are only two ways of transfering things on the iPad.
      - via WiFi
      - via usb cable
    From what I have read, you need to connect to iTunes on the supervising PC.

  • What is the best way to transfer photos from old laptop to new laptop?

    What is the best way to transfer photos from old Macbook Pro to new Macbook Pro?

    If you only need to transfer photos, connect the two Macs to the same network. Enable file sharing on both, and copy the iPhoto folder from your old Mac to the new one. Put it in your Pictures folder. This assumes you have no photos on your new MacBook Pro you wish to keep. If you do then let me know.
    The first time you launch the new version of iPhoto with a Library created by an older version, it will most likely want to "upgrade your iPhoto Library". This is normal.
