What are Photo Galleries?
Photo Galleries & Sharing provides for publishing or transfer of a user's digital photos on-line, enabling the user to share them with others (whether publicly or privately). This functionality is provided through both Web sites and applications that facilitate the upload and display of images. The term can also be loosely applied to the use of on-line photo galleries that are set up and managed by individual users, including photoblogs.
In return for a subscription fee, subscription-based photo sharing sites offer photo sharing services without the distraction of advertisements or promotions for prints and gifts. They may also have other enhancements over free services, such as guarantees regarding the on-line availability of photos, more storage space, the ability for non-account holders to download full-size, original versions of photos, and tools for backing up photos. In addition, some of these sites are now integrating video sharing as well.
