Dave's Favorites: Share Your Photos With OurPictures
The problem with 8-megapixel photos is that it's generally not possible to e-mail them to friends and family--not without resizing them, at any rate. OurPictures solves that problem by letting you easily share all your images as easily as sending them via e-mail, without the size limitation that imposes.
OurPictures includes a photo organizer that displays all of your images in a thumbnail view, not unlike Adobe Album or Picasa. You can add keywords to your pictures and search for photos by file name or keyword. There's a lightweight image editor (think brightness, contrast, and rotate) built-in as well.
If that's not enough to whet your appetite, consider this: OurPictures can make prints by sending your photos to a local photo printer. Just click to order your prints and then drive across town to pick up your order an hour later.
But the program's real appeal is how you can "e-mail" any number of pictures to one or more recipients. If they have OurPictures, the images simply appear in their collection, in a separate, tabbed section. If the recipient doesn't use OurPictures, they get an e-mail pointing them to a Web page where they can view and download the images. Since OurPictures doesn't use traditional e-mail, but instead uses a special peer-to-peer technology, there are no resolution or file-size limitations on the images you send to friends, coworkers, and family.
The basic version of OurPictures is free, and the deluxe edition costs $30 per year. OurPictures Deluxe adds PictureSafe, which automatically backs up your photo collection to an online server. For more info or to download a version, visit the OnePictures site.
