Time to say GOOD BYE

So... That's all... all for posts, for photo sharing sites. Thanks for viewing, reading. I hope this information will help you on tomorrow's Exam.
See you.

Yandex Photos

Site - www.fotki.yandex.ru
Location - is not limited
Services and facilities - for free
Print photos - no
Paid Account - no

Yandex Photos can be called the most simple of all the above services. 

To register for the site requires an account on yandex.ru.

The possibility of organizing photos are standard -  galleries, tags, comments on photos. Selected photos or albums can be hidden from outsiders, individual photos can be sent as greeting cards with the help of Yandex.

The fastest way to download single images to the site serves is an interface in a window browser. Photos are loaded one by one. But its burdensome for downloading many pictures.

Therefore, service provides bulk load photos. The only limitation - you are using a browser. There is special extension (plugin) for users of Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox , which allows you to upload lots of photos. 

The service offers a simple photo editor - change the brightness, color and contrast, and image rotation. A little disappointed inability to order prints of images. I think that over time will expand the functionality of Yandex pictures.

I can say that service is convenient and easy to use, it does not require getting used to, or time to understand how it works.

pros
     Simple and clear interface service;
     Unlimited space for photos.
cons
     The inability to order prints.

 Fotki – popular Photo Sharing Site, which was founded in 1998 by Dmitri Don (current President) and Katrin Lilleoks (his wife) to store and share digital photos and to communicate with friends and relatives around the world.

Fotki allows you conveniently create your own albums and galleries. It has many features in content, sorting and editing your albums.

On the home page we can find links to pages of the most active users, get links to various RSS-channel of service, modules of fast downloading and creating links to photos, searching photos and users.

There are various ways of uploading. The most simple but inconvenient is to download via the online form by one shot. However, is better to use FTP-client (server ftp.fotki.com) or with downloader program (1.08 MB), which allows you to download  faster and a lot of pictures at once.

Type of access to the albums - private or public. Images can be JPG, PNG and GIF formats, you can also upload pictures in BMP and TIFF formats, but after uploading it will be converted into JPG format. The size and resolution of images is no limited.

Pictures are placed to the albums (public or private) and supplemented with the title, description and keywords. Every picture is easy to send to requested e-mail address, add to "Favorite" and placed on a variety of social networks (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc.). You can also order prints of selected photos.

   Picasa is an image organizer and image viewer for organizing and editing digital photos, plus an integrated photo-sharing website, originally created by a company named Lifescape and owned by Google.
    Your are given 1 GB of storage for your photos. Optionally this volume can be increased by clicking on one of the paid accounts. Downloading photos is absolutely identical to Flickr (at the same time you can send to the site only five images).
    Joint use such programs like Picasa and Picasa Web Albums let you easily organize and edit digital photos and create albums on the Internet to share photos with friends, relatives and others.
    You can present your photos in the best possible way. View full-screen slide show, place images on the card, play videos, etc.

   Functions of Picasa can improve almost any photo and solve such problems as red eye, color and lighting flaws with one click. A correction function and overlay effects can make good pictures better. 

   pros
• simple and clear interface service
• A complete application for working with photos on your PC and upload to the site user-friendly
• 1 GB of storage for photos
• Work with service companies to print photos from Russia
• The Russian interface
     
   cons

The site - www.flickr.com
Location - 250 MB free
Services and facilities - free initial service
Print photos - yes
Paid Account - $ 24.95 per year

 

   Flickr - the most popular and promoted worldwide service. But in Ukraine this service is not as popular as in other countries.

   Everyone who wish to try out all the charm and innovation should sign up. For this you also need account at Yahoo. In other words, if you have not registered user Yahoo, then you need to become one. Registration on flickr is possible only with the Yahoo ID.

    Service has a simple and unobtrusive design with perfectly clear (for me) interface and menus. I was little confused by only 250 MB free account for photo hosting. With this volume making an online repository for pictures is impossible. The solution is buying a paid account (there is no space limit for uploading photos).

    To download the photos you can use an interface in the browser, which launched a website, or download-program. The latter application is downloaded from the site Flickr. This method is more convenient and easier. In this program you can drag from any window any arbitrary number of photos and upload them to the site with one click (in the time when with poster you can download only 5 shots at a time).

pros
• simple and clear interface service
• Handy utility to upload pictures to the site

cons
• Inconvenient organizing photos on the server, a complex process of separating into groups of photos, dates, etc.
• A total of 250 MB of space to store photos in the free account
• The need to have a Yahoo ID to register.

Here is a video about Flickr. I hope it will be interesting and useful for you.
