Free Moo cards came though on Friday. If the images are right then this is a nice option for handing out small cards to folk - gift after party or wedding perhaps? The crops worked OK (some a bit inaccurate) and a couple of the images were soft but these were some of the scans of American snaps from 10 years so probably expecting too much. Would certainly use the service again.
I’ve tried Zooomr out a couple of times but Flickr still wins due to size of community, other application support and features. However Zooomr today added Portals which is a nice way of adding details to photo’s and linking through to other photo’s in a set - almost like picture within picture on a TV. Good examples can be seen in the video on Zooomr Blog.
Click on the sample below that you allows you to see it in action (not IE7 friendly but works well in Firefox)
Wheres the toys? Hosted on ZooomrWell it really is the calm after the storm - today is fresher, clearer and a lot drier. BBC News has some great pictures from last night including mine’s at picture 7. Hopefully my first and last mention on BBC News.
Trying out a new image viewer called Gallery. Seem less fussy than Coppermine and also a bit more customisable when it comes to layout. My new Gallery can be found here but with little photo’s at the moment.
Got lots of photo’s? Want to try and manage them? Don’t want to spend cash (Mr Lawrence jumps to the front of the queue)?. Try Picasa. Google have bought them and the software for the moment is free. It was linked off the front of Google but thats now gone - probably the number of downloads. Free software equals flies round shit.
It works pretty well and is nice on the eye. Abobe Photoshop Album 2 is nicer in my book with slightly better feature set…for the moment but it does cost…allegedly. Free edition of the Adobe product can be found here with slightly reduced features.
