When I move my pix off my computer..to say...shutterfly, photobucket..or Flickr'..and then delete them from my folder on the computer..do the pix stay there. ( at the site) .or do 'they delete too.' Also..I clicked something somewhere yesterday..that said 'publish to web' sheeeesh! Where did they go? I suppose for everybody to see? Hmmm. They were just pet pix..so that was ok...I suppose. One more question? I have Picassa 2. That means that the pix that are there..are 'downloaded' to my computer..taking up space? Or does it? (Person with a new camera..lost in cyber-space...LOL) Thanx carol It is all confusing to me..in a way.

And is it also true that with Shutterfly, while they accept original size (even 10mega pixels) photos, they do NOT let you take them back from the web in their full size unless you pay for a backup CD. If both are true, then SHutterfly is not really a good backup system since you have to purchase back from them any photos you want in original size. With Flickr PRO, while you do pay a nominal annual fee, you can restore any photo in its original size to your computer. <strong>pelf: I didn't mention any of them to be a solution for backing up your photos, did I? Plus, if I want to back up my photos, I'd burn them into a CD myself, and not upload them unto web-based services, and then figure out whether it would cost to download the original size. Both Flickr and Shutterfly are just photo-sharing services.</strong> Is it true that with Flickr PRO, one can download from their site, any photo you put on the site in its full pixel size (even very large files)?

For ex. disabling the right click option... Is this feature in Shutterfly OR Flickr OR Photobucket.... <strong>pelf: Ouh yes, I missed this point. In Flickr, you have an option to allow or disallow other people to download your photos. And you can also set who are those people who can download your photos - your contacts, or anybody at all.</strong> Well I was just wondering that is there anyway by which one could prevent his/her pictures being copied by any person.

Sure, there isn't much user interaction there. But it's got the full power to have everything I need. Tags, accessibility settings, the works. Plus it runs off my blog so it doesn't eat so much bandwidth since it's also tied into my blog. <strong>pelf: What does it mean by "runs off your blog", Ed? But won't you use up a lot of space storing pictures? Do you resize your pictures before uploading them?</strong> That’s why I have my own gallery. Sure, there isn’t much user interaction there.
