If you make it a point to name your JPEG images before uploading them, Flickr is smart enough to name your uploaded photos with the same name as your file without the JPG extension. You may argue that Flickr holds much more data (IPTC, and more EXIF fields) than PBase, but pixel peepers (like me) prefer to have the convenience of all the images display in the Original size from the get go, and use our own EXIF tool of choice to peek at the underlying data. In other words, it’s not generally a cool idea to host photos on Flickr for the viewing pleasure of pixel peepers. Then click on the Back to the Flickr photo page link, click the next photo, and repeat the entire process. You’d then have to click on the All Sizes link above the photo, which shows you the Large version, and then click on Original to view the full-sized photo. In the case of Flickr, clicking on a thumbnail shows you only the medium sized version. You’d need to then click on the Original link found beneath the photo in order to see it full-sized, but this preference is remembered on your computer and will be in effect for subsequent images. On Pbase, especially if you’ve never visited PBase before, the default image size presented to you when you click on a thumbnail is Large. Also, I’ve elected to denote sub-galleries with double colons (::) on the left and right of the sub-gallery title. What’s missing in the Flickr version are two sub-galleries (Sigma 18-50mm images and Sigma 12-24mm images) because I can’t do them in Flickr like I can in Pbase. You can create nice hierarchies of galleries in PBase.įor comparison, see this gallery of full-sized Nikon D70 photos on Pbase, vs. It’s very easy to do - just navigate to an existing gallery, enter the name of the new gallery, and indicate whether the new gallery should be a child of the current gallery, or appear at the home page. PBase is great for those who like to create sub-galleries under sub-galleries. You can create sets of photos (say My Rome Trip in 2007) and collections of sets (My Lifetime of Rome Trips), but it’s not possible, to my knowledge, to create sub-galleries with unlimited depth. Very much like blogs, where the latest post and articles appear at the top of the page. If you exceed that quota by even 1 byte, your subscription period automatically drops from 12 months to 6 months (pro-rated over the remaining number of months left in your subscription) Gallery structureīy default, the latest photos you post to Flickr always appear on your home page. However, for $23 a year, you only get to store 500 MB worth of photos. Pbase is king of the hill when you want to share the latest JPG photo taken with the latest 24-megapixel camera, because there’s no limit on the size of each individual photo. Go ahead and upload 2.9 trillion photos per day, but each photo cannot exceed 10 MB 20 MB per photo (announced in this Flickr blog post, last paragraph) if you have a Pro account (the 10 MB limit stays for free accounts). They used to impose a limit on how many megabytes (MB) of photos you can upload in a month, but there’s no limit now. Storage space and file sizeįlickr is the king of the hill when you want to store unlimited number of photos. Additionally, there are tons of Flickr widgets (little bits and snippets of code) that you can stick in your site and have, say, the latest photos appear in the sidebar of your blog.įlickr charges you US$24.95 per year, while PBase asks you for US$23. If you’re a blogger, definitely use Flick since it has a publicly-available API (application programming interface) which allows you to pull pictures and information from your Flickr account and have them appear on your blog.
