where do you prefere storing your pics online?

i used photobucket, which is free and worked ok, but since it shrinks the photos quite a lot i decided to check out alternatives

i've now been uploading to flicker, using their 100mb free album, and it seems to be a nice service, suprisingly they show my photos with full res even if it said they cut sizes for freeloaders

are any of you flicker pro subscribers? are there other pay-services well worth their fee?

Similar question, anyone have experience in making large format prints (poster-sized) through companies online? How was price, quality, speed, etc?

A few people on here have flickr accounts. I have my own (horribly non-updated) coppermine gallery on my server I'm probably going to wipe and begin again. I may even write my own little gallery system.

I recently signed up for flickr pro, and because of the unlimited uploading and the ability to upload higher-res file sizes, I absolutely love it. (it also allows me to determine and set what other people can do, and whether or not they can download my photos and so on). I think it's worth it.

A warning about hosting hi-res images on flickr.

Personally, there’s nothing better than getting your own server for cheap (think $5 a month on the low end) and running your own gallery software. The only problem besides the cost is that your photographs might not get the same exposure than posting them on a site with a high visitor rate (i.e. Flickr).

For my site (http://judsonian.com) I use Gallery 2 (http://gallery.menalto.com/) for pretty much everything I do. Organizing images is really easy and there are plenty of features from simple watermarking to dynamic galleries and integrations with Wordpress and Google Maps. I use Minishowcase (http://minishowcase.frwrd.net/) for my “favorites.” It’s a simple AJAX solution that looks pretty and works fairly well. I don’t think it’d work well for very large galleries though. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

If you’re interested, there was a more expansive listing of gallery scripts as posted on Digg a short time ago, http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/05/18/30-best-solutions-for-image-galleries-slideshows-lightbox

I used Coppermine for a bit while looking for the script to run imgDump. It didn't work out to well for various reasons. 4images is what I used instead (http://www.4homepages.de/). It's pretty much the same format, but I think it works better. It also lets me upload my own thumbnails at the same time, which is a must thanks to the crappy hosting at 1&1.

Yeah, I don't really like coppermine. I set up my gallery over 100 years ago, so it's really time for a change.

Thanks for the heads up on gallery 2, it looks pretty damn good.

I second picasaweb. If, like me, you find the so-called 'community' and 'social' aspects of flickr pointless and unnecessary, picasaweb is perfect. No frills, no nonsense simple online storage for your pictures. You can choose to resize or upload full resolution, etc.

Personally, I think its the perfect solution. I don't need or want people to 'fav' me, or to comment, or any of that bullshit, and quite frankly, sites that are more based around that than anything else (anything '2.0', like delicious, reddit, digg, youtube, etc) are trite and inefficient for what is needed.

Yeah, i said it. "community" can go fuck itself, give me my speedy, efficient picasawebs.

hmm, thanks. their prices for poster prints seem to be the norm for web-printers but they look a lot more professional
>> Macheath
>>49367
Hmmm, would I be able to upload via FTP WITHOUT having to download and install their ROES software?

afaik, no, that's how they handle the ordering. You don't have to install it, really, it's just a java app.

I love flickr, I think it's the best damn thing since sliced bread. And not for any of the community features. Really, the community stuff is nice just for wasting time on the internet looking at beautiful pictures. The steak and potatoes of flickr is in the pro subscription: unlimited bandwidth, unlimited storage. It's exceptional. I also love the tagging system, and the sets/collections system. It helps me organize my own work, find my own pictures, and just speeds up the whole process. I work on lots of different computers from lots of different locations, not to mention I have a tiny laptop hard drive, so being able to upload my best stuff to flickr, back up everything to DVDs monthly, and then clear off my hard drive with the peace of mind that I can safely access my work from anywhere with an internet connection... well, that's great.

I'm a big flickr fan. I'm heavyweather there, too, btw (shameless self-endorsement)

oh fuck off
that zoomr fag can't find anything nice to say about flickr ever, and goes out of his way to bitch. In the past, he's bitched about every single little thing. His big issue, before this, was how TERRIBLE and UNCONSTITIONAL or some fucking shit it was for flickr, a site owned by yahoo, to migrate to yahoo login. Take everything this fag says with a salt shaker.

I use Coppermine on my webhosting ( www.lol.geek.nz ) its not everything there, but coppermine does what i want it to do

ive been happy with imagecave, not a huge amount of storage but unlimited bandwidth

if youre going to pay for image hosting, you may as well buy a domain and hosting for 50 bones a year
