Photobucket, an online photo site has reduced its Pro subscription cost to a new low price: $24.95 per year -- this Pro subscription get you more features as shown in Figure 1 below:Figure 1: Photobucket comparison Free vs. Pro accountsThe only problem is that Flickr, one of Photobucket's competitors has been providing unlimited storage and bandwidth for the same price since years now! However,

If you love to create collages of all sorts from your pictures, then you know that positioning and moving individual pictures for a collage can be a time consuming process that requires many hours of experimentation. Naturally, all those extra hours mean that there is a limit to your creativity since you would not want to start all over again with a collage product.Shape Collage, our review

Many times, using PowerPoint may not be enough. You might want a presentation with moving backgrounds, shaking pictures, and the ability to output to Flash or DVD. Most of the time, I won't recommend creating a business presentation on those lines, but I do know that there are occasions where such presentations are required -- especially if you want to create a quick kiosk presentation, something

Flash Gallery Factory creates quick Flash based photo galleries and slide shows from your pictures -- and it's easy enough to use even if you haven't used a similar program before. The program also makes it easy for you to share your output on web sites, blogs, MySpace, etc.Read the review here...

For users with tons of pictures, it's always a challenge showing and sharing these pictures in ways that are different, yet easy to create. One great option is to create a slideshow from the pictures with a cool style and some music and titles -- and then burn them on a DVD, or save them in a format compatible with the iPod, Zune, etc.Photo Story Platinum can help...

This is not one of the most capable paint programs out there, but it certainly is among the nicest ones -- and although it is meant for kids, there's no reason why someone who's a little young at heart can't play with this one!Tux Paint is a free, open source program from New Breed Software that includes fun stuff like sound effects and a cartoon mascot as well.The figure below shows you the Tux

I ran into this novel tutorial that lets you add a clone of the same person in another picture -- and create a panorama from the two pictures so that you end up with the same person in two places within the stitched panorama. Very cool -- take a look here...

I have been using muvee's range of tools to create quick movies and slideshows for a long time now -- not only are these tools very intuitive to use, but they make sure that anyone can create professional looking movie montages in minutes -- these same results could take hours and days using other video editing tools. Sure, you get a lot more control in the other high end tools, but most of the

What if you browsed to any of the video sites like YouTube using the Safari browser on your Mac, and selected one of the movies to view on the site -- maybe this was a music video, an interview, a trailer, or just something else. And then you checked out another YouTube movie -- and then you shut down Safari altogether and launched your iTunes to hear the sound track of all the movie clip pages

That's a good question. Turns out that you can do quite a bit with the free account, but the Premium account does provide more options -- after all members who pay should get something extra to justify their subscription costs!By signing up as a free member, you are limited by some options:You can only upload a thousand photos.You can only backup to your computer, one album per day.You can

Becoming a member on Webshots is easy -- you just provide some simple details like your name, location, and email address -- then after a quick verification process achieved through email, you become a member. Once you are a member, you can use any of the free options, or opt to become a Premium member by paying a subscription charge. Throughgout this series of tutorials, we will explore both the

Webshots is a photo sharing and storing site from CNET that allows you to do more with your visual content than what would have been possible by just storing them on your computer. In many ways, it is like other photo sharing sites like Flickr, MSN Photos, Kodak Gallery -- yet it does have some features that set it apart from these other sites.At the most basic level, Webshots is a simple area on

In the last post, I explained what Flickr sets are -- and now I'll explain to you what you can do with tags in Flickr.Tags are like associated keywords for any picture -- thus for a vaction picture from Japan of Mount Fuji, you could use these tags:japanvacationmount fujisnowThe next time, you are searching for that particular picture in the 21,894 pictures you have uploaded to Flickr -- all you

Before I discuss more about uploading and sharing photos on Flickr, there are two things that each Flickr user should know. These are sets and tags. I'm explaining sets in this post, and will teach you more about tags in another post.Sets are a way to group your photos so that they are easy to organize and identify. Figure 1 shows a few sets in my Flickr account.Figure 1: A few of my Flickr

Yes, that question has come up often since I used his Flickr account to create all the screenshots.Scooby Gooseberry is an imaginary, fictitious character with a real Flickr account--I created that account for him so that we could use him as a case study to learn more about Flickr in a fun environment.Flickr likes Scooby too. In fact, just today morning when Scooby wanted to upload some photos to

Before you ask people to see your photos on Flickr, spend a minute to create your own Flickr web address. A Flickr web address is an alias that you can specify for yourself so that it becomes part of the URL to your Flickr page.For example, Scooby Gooseberry's Flickr web address is:http://www.flickr.com/photos/scoobygooseberryNot only will it be easy for you to send an alias based Flickr web

Now that you know what Flickr is, and how you become a Flickrmember--it's time to learn how you can upload your first photo!To cook up this task, make sure you have all the right ingredients:Some photos on your computer--or just upload your desktop wallpaper!A Flick account--we already have Scooby Gooseberry's account!A browser and internet connection--you are reading this, so you already have

Although you can browse public photos at Flickr without becoming a member, there are many things you still cannot do a Flickr without becoming a member:You cannot upload and share your own photosYou cannot view for-invitation-only photos uploaded by your friends and families to their Flickr accountsYou cannot link any photos to your blogYou cannot comment on any photoObviously, the first thing

Flickr is a photo-sharing site that lets you upload your photos, and make them more interesting to an audience by adding comments, descriptions, and tags to them.Photos can be grouped in sets.Flickr provides several ways to share your uploaded photos:You can choose to share them with everyone--Flickr calls this sort of sharing public.You can create two distinct sharing options called friends and

I'll admit Indezine is a PowerPoint related site--and I've been at a loss finding out ways to add more content on related topics. Naturally, I don't want to add all this stuff to the PowerPoint pages on this site since that would be unfair to users who don't want to look beyond that program.The best solution seemed to create another part of the site, and I knew this had to be a blog since blogs
