Have new iPhone--having technical difficulties getting the 3G upgrade, but expect to have that resolved before I leave. I'm a member at both kodakgallery.com and shutterfly.com, though not active on the latter. In order to download and edit my photos,I know I have to get my photos from my camera to my computer, edit,then post on line for others to view. That will wait until I get home. But if while I'm traveling I want to upload a few photos from either my iPhone or my camera to a website so friends and family can keep with my trip (think 21st century postcards), how/where should I do this? I believe shutterfly can be downloaded as an app for iPhone. But what about my camera pics?

When uploading my Victoria pictures, I played around with Snapfish & Shutterfly but finally decided on Picassa & here's why: The display of your pictures on Snapfish is smaller than that of Picassa, & Shutterfly cut off many of my captions. Maybe they are wordy, but I wanted the words. Picassa displayed a large picture & a complete caption. In the past, I've been a big proponent of Snapfish & I still will probably complete the editing there & make a book. That said, all three took a long time to upload a large amount of photos. Of course if you have fewer it would take less time - and, if you are doing it daily, you surely would.

My friend took his new iPhone to France two months ago, and came home to a $500 bill. He thought things were free until he read the fine print of "in country" so you are wise to be checking.

I actually find it a pretty good substitute for Photoshop Elements which I have but almost never use Picasa is so much easier. I hadn't thought about posting photos on line, I've only every used Picasa from my home computer. Any suggestions? I'll only be doing this with my iPhone where I can find Wifi. Otherwise the costs are very high, as GR's friend learned. I do have a text message plan for only 50 cents per message, from anywhere in the world, but that won't let me send photos.

I like the display, and its easy to use, integrates nicely with picasa on a pc or even iphoto on my mac. and its free (for a fairly large amount of storage). But I've never tried using it to get photos off my phone. So I checked their help, and found they do have a way to share photos, using a special email address. The info is here: http://picasa.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=83342 it looks pretty straightforward. Last Edited By: ChinaCat00 06/24/09 07:21:35. Edited 1 times.
