Week Seven: Which Is The Best Free Photo Gallery Editor? Part Two

Robert Niles’ article, which can be found at http://www.ojr.org/ojr/stories/080318niles/ looks at, and reviews, four different tools for people to use if they want to upload photos onto their web pages/ blogs.

To win the coveted award of ‘Best Free Photo Gallery Editor’ there are a few conditions: it has to be a free web-based download, that displays the photos in a flash gallery and works on most internet browsers. It also has to ‘allow the creator to add captions and to control the display style, size and speed of the images’.

As I mentioned earlier, Niles reviewed four photo applications- Picasa, PictureTrail, BubbleShare and SlideFlickr, with varied results. He then listed the pros and cons of each (if he even got through it at all- he gave up on PictureTrail ).

In the end he rated Picasa as the best one to use, unless the size options that the user wants aren’t available. In that case, he recommends Slide, which was the winner of ‘Which Is The Best Free Photo Gallery Editor? Part One’.

I haven’t actually used any of the options that were reviewed but if it ever came to me having to use one, I’d more than likely go for Picasa, the one that was recommended because it seems to be the most user-friendly.
