Takaroa Atoll - GE Split Image Landsat (Right) and Digital Globe (Left)(1:37,000) Using Pictobrowser


Finding Hidden Reefs Using The Color Dodge Effect Using Traditional Flickr Slideshow (TFS)

First some facts - they both require Flickr; you need to spend some money and get the Flickr upgrade account ($19 a year); they both require you to insert HTML code into your post; they both generate the code required; PictoBrowser generates the code in just a few simple steps and then you cut and paste it into your new post on your own blog, TFS is a strictly a cut and paste operation - you cut an old entry, paste it into your new post and insert your Flickr Slideshow ID code 72157594447232890 into the appropriate spot within the HTML code; Pictobrowser requires a minimum of 10-lines of HTML code, TFS requires 2-lines of HTML code; PictoBrowser is not an automatic slideshow, TFS is an automatic slideshow; PictoBrowser includes images Titles; TFS requires that you stop the show and select the slide to see the Titles; neither one allows for the inclusion of lengthy comments as part of their presentations

Okay, that's enought. I happen to like the look of Pictobrowser for my purposes. It is not that I want a slideshow, but I want to display a series of images that tell a story. The TFS is very easy to use.

I will keep tinkering with the two formats until I tinker a successful format.

Oh, by the way. If you would like to give Pictobrowser a try, assuming you have a Flickr account with images, select the INFO button and answer the questions, then cut and paste into your own new post on your own blog and enjoy your creation.

Enjoy!
