iPhoto web sharing programs

Filed under: Mac OS X

Recently I have been taking a lot more pictures since I got my new camera, a Sony DSC-P200. It takes great pictures, but the problem is that I want to be able to show them to people online. There are a lot of programs that will let you EXPORT photos and create web pages from your iPhoto library but this is a time-consuming process that is a one-time thing. That means that you have to manually re-create new pages if your library changes. This isn’t acceptable for someone who takes a lot of pictures.

So I over the last year have found several dynamic page-creating programs that will build a dynamic web site from your iPhoto library and host it on your computer.

WebPhoto
myPhoto
iPhotoWebShare

They each have their advantages and disadvantages. iPhotoWebShare is by far the easiest to set-up, but myPhoto has the most features (and most difficulties as well).

I am using iPhotoWebShare for now, since it is working well and I like it’s ability to let you download the full size image. I like that it’s controlled in a preference pane in the system preferences and not some extra application.
