The Digital Photographer's Software Guide
For output you can use Quick Print for one-click printing or share your pictures with
others on the EasyShare gallery. At the gallery there is an extensive shop where you can
purchase albums, clothes, calendars, frames, prints, and more, much more.
Comments
Somehow, it all fits together, although Kodak’s online explanation is a triumph of marketspeak
over useful information. The Kodak EasyShare gallery is said to contain over two
billion images (or does that include other parts of the organization? Again, the information
is unclear). The registration page has a picture of a mug with a dog on it—and
that is really all you need to know. Give it a try. The printing is fine and you get free
prints when you join.

Quixhibit
Vendor: WilyBeagle Software
Purpose: Image gallery building in minutes with “Quick Exhibit” tools
Description
Quixhibit allows you to download images to your computer, arrange them into photo
galleries, and then upload them to the Web. Its name elides “quick” and “exhibit,”
emphasizing that this is a speedy way to put images online.
Among Quixhibit’s growing number of features are styling tools that enable you to
choose a basic text index, a “contact sheet” of rows/columns, or scrolling navigation
bars. You can choose font, background color, background image, page layout, and dropshadows
to add to the basic style. The optional captioning facility includes spell checking,
whereas other features include cropping, rotation, and sorting. There is an
integrated FTP client for uploading the gallery, plus context-sensitive help to guide users
through the whole process.
