I am a Dropbox fan. It’s like an extension of my hard disk on the clouds. One of the most important uses I put my Dropbox account to is, of course, the backup, and my top priority is all my precious photos. As soon as I transfer images from my digital camera to my computer, [...]
The rise of social networks like Facebook has given rise to another spare time activity – changing your DP or your display pic. Now, it’s not enough to simply upload a simple snap; you have to embellish it with some cool effects to stand out from the crowd. And helping to do so are the [...]

Previous week I bought a new camera and no matter what I shot I just loved sharing it with everyone. I use Picasa Web Albums and Flickr to share my photos with my friends. Indeed these services are beyond doubt one of the best but still my not-so-technically-sound parents were not able to view them [...]
If you have big collection of photographs on your hard disk then managing them can be a herculean task. Sometimes, while sorting them under categories, we might find ourselves puzzled and unable to decide. Like, under which category should the college farewell pics be filed?

I am really interested in eLearning. That usually involves creating PowerPoint presentations and other displays. Images are a primary raw material I always trawl for on the web. Of course, there are many free websites which offer stock photographs and images, but when you have one ‘in-house’ why go looking that far. Microsoft has a [...]
When we browse the web, we see images. For casual users, an image is just a bunch of pixels. But in reality there are different kinds of image formats; each as distinct as chalk and cheese. The four common types are – JPG, PNG, GIF, and BMP. If that’s all Greek to you, worry not [...]
Facebook needs no introduction and I think, I need not tell you anything about Facebook Photos either. Photographs are one of the best ways to share your perfect holidays, convocation party or your kid’s first birthday with your family and friends on Facebook. Uploading photos on Facebook is a cakewalk but what’s difficult is downloading [...]
One of the most obviously irritating things about receiving photo attachments from newbies is their total disregard for sending compressed photos. Surely, it must be a pain for them to upload megabyte sized photos as it is for me to download them. It takes time. That’s when I go out of my way to educate [...]
There are times when a picture speaks a thousand words. But you just can’t find the keyword to describe it. Here, Reverse image search comes to the rescue: it’s a special type of search that takes an image instead of a keyword and retrieves similar images.

Most of the email services have file attachment size limits, and hence if you intend to email that recent picture you took with your digital camera directly, it probably won’t work because of the high resolution and size of that picture. Hence resizing pictures is the only way out, and today we will see how [...]
If you like minimalism and simplicity, then you will love Minus. Even the name of this drag ‘n’ drop file sharing tool suggests the very same thing. However, the simplicity of Minus does not take anything away from its effectiveness. Let’s look at the plusses of this free web application. Minus.com is another way to [...]
