Despite being the largest image sharing service in the world, Facebook still has a depressingly short list of crippled features when it comes to photo albums. You can add a description, tag friends... aaaand... that's about it. When news broke yesterday about Flickr and Facebook teaming up I actually squealed with delight -- this is it! -- and then I realised it was just Flickr importing your new ...

You're walking (or driving) along, and your iPhone (or iPod touch) has dimmed the screen. Suddenly a song comes on, and you can't quite place it. You tap the home button to see what it is and who it's by. Unfortunately, the tiny type is hard to read at a glance. If only there was a way to fix that... Developer Vitaly Belman has a solution: automatically create album cover artwork with big, bold ...

If you use HP's Snapfish to share and organize your photos, you might be interested to know that there's now a Snapfish iPhone app that makes it easy to upload photos to the site.

Picasa, Google's photo sharing service, has allowed collaborative photo albums on the web for months, but the Picasa desktop app is just now getting this feature.

With collaborative albums, you can either give ...

Creating compelling album cover art requires talent, though when I look through my old CD collection (how quaint!) it's pretty clear that talent is not a prerequisite for everyone who creates album covers. For a fun comparison, check out how surprisingly well My Album Generator creates passable album covers. The formula is simple: choose to use either a random Wikipedia article or a simple ...

No more forgetting where you took that picture on your vacation, Google has now made it possible for users to pinpoint the exact places they took their photos by mapping photos. A new feature called "Map My Photos" was released on Tuesday in Picasa Web Albums, lets users show exactly where on a map pictures were taken. When creating an album, fill out the Place Taken field, or drag and drop ...

Vancouver-based ACD Systems International this week released version 9 of their popular ACDSee Photo Manager software for both the consumer and Pro lines. The big news is the Quick View feature, which allows for almost instantaneous opening of pictures in your library, both in ACDSee and in Explorer. Neat. I'm not quite sure how they're doing it, but I assume it involves storing a screen res ...
