I wanted to figure out what ShareAPhoto was. I went there and then finally clicked on clients. shareaphoto.com Then I chose easyalbum.com and I signed up. It's free. I then created a folder and uploaded a photo. Basically Uploading is done with the browser and each photo to be uploaded has to be entered with the entire path. For ten photos I consider this tedious. But for one or two it's not bad. After uploading the photo's you can view and edit with a reasonable set of image editing features. One problem is that I could only view at maybe a 640x480 resolution or less while editing. Each time you edit you would really have to switch to full size and then back to see the real effect of many of the edit choices. You can then order prints or send a postcard. The service would be OK for those with broadband access but very tedious for dial-up. But the whole process is fairly no-brain. Does this kind of web hosting application really require SGI bandwidth servers? I'm not so sure. But many parallel requests for image editing processes could add up to a fair amount of cpu crunch.
