OR


flickr is one of the most popualar, user friendly file sharing websites in the world. it allows you to post photos and videos easily and share them to the world or just to a select few in seconds. There is 5 ways to upload a file either by Flickr Uploadr (available for both PC and Mac), Photo, Aperture, or Windows XP plugins, their upload web page, email or by many free third-party desktop programs.


the edit menu is an easy but highly entertaining function on the flickr sit allowing you to edit your photos to add objects or to change look of the file.


after uploading your photos and editing them you can organise them in sets.
Sets are a grouping of photos and videos that you can organize around a certain theme, such as Our Hawaii Trip. You can use them to highlight your favorite photos and videos, or make an album that is only pictures of your dog, or of photos and videos you've taken with a particular camera.


flickr also has a unique but great function of allowing you to photos by area. so you can find where someone shot the pic or see what pics have been taking in your local area.







darqroom is alot more of a professional site where photogaphers from all over the world can post there port folios either for prospective clients or for other photographers to view. unlike flickr darqroom has a much more professional feel with fast uploads and unlimited storage and a windows style photo management system.
the added bonus of darqroom is it offers a feature to get your photos turned into high quality prints that are sent to your door. sounds great yes? well no as good as it seems it isn't designed for non-members and to become a member you have to pay a fee of 59 euro's per year. which is great for the professionals but for students such as myself how just wants files for assignments flickr or one of the many other free file sharing sites is a far more useful resource.
