Yahoo Photos
One of the greatest advantages of digital photo vs classical ones is the ability to easily share them with friends and family. This is why a lot of online services have appeared that offer the ability to upload and share online photo albums, one of the most well known such service is Yahoo! Photos
Yahoo Photos Overview
Yahoo Photos is a free of charge service. At Yahoo Photos the pictures are organized into albums, a user can create a unlimited number of albums and an album can contain a unlimited number of photos. A photo album can have one of the following sharing settings: private (only seen by the author), public (seen by any Yahoo members) or "friends only" (only seen by specified Yahoo members). The created albums can then be shared with friends and family, professionally printed by making an online order or printed on your printer.
Sharing photos can be done either by email or by using Yahoo Messenger. To share a photo album by email Yahoo will prompt users to enter an email address and a message and will attach to the email's text a link to the photo album. To share photos through Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo will show a list with your online friends (if you have an Yahoo Messenger account) and prompt you to invite one of them to see your online photo album. You can also order photo books, calendars, greeting cards, gifts and so on.
Pros: Unlike other online photo album sites Yahoo! Photos offer users the ability to upload as many pictures as they want without charge and without restricting the space provided for storing them or the number of photos uploaded.
Cons: The photo manipulation features offered by Yahoo Photo are very limited. The users can only rename, delete, move, rearrange or copy photos, they can not for instance rotate photos or make any adjustments at all.
Recommendations
Although Yahoo Photos offers unlimited storage space for photos it is unpractical to upload the original pictures taken with your digital camera because of the large file sizes which requires a lot of time to upload online. The original photos may be larger in size than 1MB due to very high resolutions (picture's width x height) and poor image compression.
Since you and your friends will visualize the pictures automatically resized by Yahoo Photos at a much lower resolution than the originals (no more than 800x600) it isn't recommended to upload pictures at higher resolutions because of the upload time required. In order to painlessly solve this problem you can use a purposely built software like BatchPhoto.
