Hi guys,

Just looking for your opinions on fotopic.net. How good is it overall? How easy is it to use? How good are the features?

Any opinons will be appreciated, and any alternatives are welcome

cheers
 
I've just set up a free account and used 10% of my free space with 61 photos. Lots of people I know use it and there are no real complaints.

It was quite easy to set up as well, although you have to play around with the menus to get the features you want.

I don't think you can protect your photos with the free one. I disabled right clicking but was surprised when a mate of mine sent one of my photos to me. He said he had just dragged it onto his desktop!

So, I think that if you want to protect your photos, you need to pay.

I have purchased the top package for a month, to have a look around and see whats what.

After looking at your site KIPAX, it has left me wondering how on earth you got the boxes on the left on side of the pages, with all the links in. Thats the sort of way i would want to set it out , but have no idea how to go about. Also, did you upload your own CSS template?

templates.. only available when pay for service but cheap as chips.. i downloaded the default CSS and simply played about changing colours and uploaded again..
 
Thanks for the replys so far guys.

Question to everybody using fotopic - Whats the best way to prepare your images for upload, as looking at mine, they dont look particulary good in the gallery's. Now i have compressed them down to about 500k before uploading, and have set the quality to 100% in the fotopic settings, but they look better when no being viewed in the gallery. So whats the best way to compress them, without casuing too much damage. Below is a link to my test of it, which includes a couple of the first matches i photographed (dont look so good now lol), and just ignore the template, still working on it

help appreciated. Cheers

I will have a look at that tonight thanks KIPAX. And tbh, if somebody wants to steal them pictures, then they really need to get their eyes tested:lol:

Have you made a command in photoshop for this, because i have, and it still gives different photographs different sizes!! And as for vertical images... well ive had to set up a different command for them!

No, i still use Elements 2.0, i have a workflow pattern which means i can resize to 7x5inch @ 300dpi, edit them, caption them and send a choice of about 6-8 directly to 3 papers., then i resize and caption approx 50-70 photos 7x5inch @300dpi and send to the agency, those same 50-70 will then be resized to 700x500px and saved for web and uploaded to my fotopic site.

All this takes approx 2-3 hours work from about 4-500 photos.
