How to Share iPhoto Photos
Apple’s photo management application iPhoto offers a variety of ways to share your photos online. In iPhoto ’08, users could share photos on an online gallery; however, only paying MobileMe members can access this feature. The next version, iPhoto ’09, increased sharing options to other online sharing sites, according to a review by Rick LePage on Macworld.com. iPhoto also contains other sharing options beyond online sharing.
