Question for non-US/non-Canadian readers

[singhals]

There are several photo-sharing sites available in the US.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodak_Gallery from Kodak, for
instance; or www.shutterfly.com

Question is -- if I put up photos for family overseas, (a)
can they view/d/l the images and (b) if they want to buy
prints how does that work out?

Clearly, the originating IP has to be outside the US/Canada,
and just as clearly, I'm not so I can't check it myself.

If someone else could I'd be grateful for a report!

??? AIUI you're originating the material & you're in the US. Presumably
you mean the IP for the viewer/downloader/print orderer.

Kodak has a UK address http://www.kodakgallery.co.uk (the link in the
wikipedia article lacks the www & doesn't work) and prints can be
ordered there. Whether pictures uploaded from the states can be shared
to the UK site I don't know - but it'd be daft if they couldn't. Why
not email their customer services & ask?

Shutterfly doesn't seem to have a UK site and the only pricing I can see
for prints is in $s so I doubt they could be usefully ordered from here.
Downloading would be a different matter & the recipients could either
print locally or put them on a USB or SD card to take to a local print shop.

There are also sites such as Dropbox for general file sharing. that
doesn't offer a print service but there are other solutions as mentioned
above.

Hello Cheryl,

Send me information and I will give it a try.

Use my email-address, as that is, as always, valid.

Merry Christmas

I don't know why you merge USA and Canada here. Many sites
detect my IP and find that my IP is not American. For example,
on books.google, I have to use a proxy to view some books
like if I was in USA.

Also, value of CAN$ and US$ are not the same so merchant sites may
redirect a visitor to the local site (.ca in my case).

I use Coppermine see ...

http://coppermine-gallery.net/

you load the prog onto your webspace (its open source so its FREE)

you can then make loads of albums and people who want to view apply for
permission and you can give them permissions to view whichever albums you
want them to see.

Uploading to your website is easily done.

Visitors can if you so wish give you comments on each photo ....

If you wish to view some of my albums then just register ... third tab in
second one down at my website

Anyone else reading this and being curious will not be given access (unless
they have a good reason)

Regards

Bill

Yeah; as in request-originating IP ...

After the first of the year, maybe I will. But, we've got
400 pictures, no desire to print all of 'em ourselves, and
less to try to mail them only to have them vanish into thin
air. So we thought we'd try this. Beginning to look like
it's just as much trouble. Maybe we should have printed
them while we were there.
