Albums

This page is for photo albums that I wish to share with my friends. These albums will download re-sized images designed to be viewed from a web page.

If you'd like a copy of any of them at full resolution to print, then email me with the picture name or URL and I'll email it back to you.

There will be a mixture of styles. Currently I'm using Google's Picasa for my online albums. I also have other albums done with: Yahoo's Flickr, or generated with Ulead's Photo Explorer, or managed using Coppermine.

Picasa Albums

Google's Picasa software and online albums are so powerful and friendly and free that I have now switched all of my online albums to use it. Picasa online albums can be...

bulletUnlisted - people can't find them but if you give them a link then they can freely view the album
bulletProtected - the album is not only unlisted but also has a password to control access to the album (this option isn't clear to me - the documentation implies a password is needed but when I try using this option then it seems that what is actually required is that the person viewing the album needs to have a Google account and be logged on to it. In other words you give access to Google accounts and people log in to see the pictures.
bulletPublic - people can find your pictures through Google searches

A wide range of features are supported - see here.

Coppermine Albums

These albums allow rating, comments, membership (friends and family only) with private and public albums, searching, picture postcards etc

The album index is here.

Although Coppermine is an excellent system, I am in the midst of replacing my Coppermine Albums with Picasa Albums and will be withdrawing Coppermine once I am convinced that no vital features will be lost.
