Six new Web sites for photography

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

Here are six new tools available for photographers who work on the Web. Maybe you’ve heard of one or more of the sites. If you’ve tried any of them, let us know what you think.

What is WikiPic?

WikiPic.net is a picture wiki. This site might be a good place to put your pictures for display and to share information about your important images.

What is Seadragon?

Seadragon.com is a simple yet powerful tool from Microsoft Live Labs. This site creates a seamless viewing platform for high-resolution images.  Once the image is converted you can share it on social media and personal publishing platforms. Another feature is the ability to zoom in and out of the pictures without delay.  All you need is a URL link to the photograph to get started. It’s worth a look.  Pictured below is an example of one of my high-resolution files.

Thanks to ushareimages and fsphotography for their help in reviewing Seadragon.

*Please note: Viewers will have access to your high-resolution image. Make sure you watermark your images if this is a concern.


What is PicTreat?

PicTreat.com is a Web site designed to automatically touch up your photographs. There are no options. It’s as easy as uploading pictures from your computer or calling in a photo from a favorite image-hosting site.  PicTreat.com does the rest.

What is Pixorial?

Pixorial.com is an online video editing site.  You may upload 10GB without a charge.  They also offer an upload service for your non-digital movies, such as 8mm.  A pro account is $24.95 a year.  They offer a helpful video on the front page with more information.

What is Effmypic?

Effmypic.com is a photography special effects site. Upload your image and select from more than 25 special effects to combine with your image.

What is Ginipic?

Ginipic.com is a desktop image search platform.  You can search your computer, favorite image hosting sites and search engines simultaneously. PC only – Mac platform promised soon.  See the movie below.
