Features

The countless other photo album packages out there have all made the same mistake: they are incredibly inconvenient to use, immature and lacking in features, and want to make you do all the work. No other online photo album on the market can offer you and your viewers the ease of use, simplicity, flexibility, and power that myPhoto does.

Feature highlights

Integration with your iLife

• myPhoto automatically uses all of the information that you put into iPhoto--captions, albums, keywords, brightness adjustments, etc.

How the world sees your new web site

• Thumbnail galleries with as many thumbnails as you want per row per page and however big or small you'd like.
• Hide or show information about your photos--some people care for the dates and captions with each photo and some don't. Your call.
• Viewers can sit down and just click through all of your photos, view specific albums, or use the search engine to find something in particular. They can even search for photos similar to photos that they're looking at.
• Fast viewing. iPhoto has a lot of data, but thanks to myPhotoAssistant, it is processed in such a way that your web site is as fast as your connection can handle.
• Everybody can share. Your myPhoto site makes it easy for your viewers to share links to your photos with others or to print their own copies of your photos.
• Everybody can resize your photos--whether it be to print out a wallet-sized photo or to see a larger version.
• Slideshows to see your photos at full-size.
• Image toolbar (which you can disable) which includes all sorts of handy functions:
  • the ability to quickly email or instant message a link to that photo to any of their freinds and family.
  • the ability to resize your photo to various presets such as 4x6, wallet-sized, or some other size more convenient for them.
  • the ability to view the EXIF data about your photos (i.e. did you use a flash, what kind of camera did you use, etc).
  • the ability to print the photo without anything printed but the photo.
  • the ability to click a button and have the photo saved to their hard drive for those friends and family who may not have mastered right/control-clicking just yet (because you know that they're going to be looking at your photo album and the last thing you want to have to do is teach them how to use it).

Special features just for you

• Full-fledged preferences with clear explanations and pictures explaining what each setting does.
• Not all photos are meant to be shared on the Internet. You can elect to block whichever photos or albums you'd like so that only you can see them.
• Set a default language for your site. Maybe English isn't your native language. myPhoto is learning new languages all the time (English, French, German, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and Dutch...want to help?).
• Change the title, the color scheme, or the entire theme (look-and-feel) of your site.
• Want to direct your viewers to a particular album? Change what your viewers see first--a particular album, a sample of all your albums, whatever.
• A helpful "check for updates" page so that you can check for a new version in one click.
• For the more advanced user, some of myPhoto's source code is visible to you if you wanted to look, you can examine it or even tweak it to better suit your needs (see the license included with myPhoto for the nitty gritty legal details).
• And a lot more.
