Upload Photos to your Website
Uploading photos to your website is easy with ImageIsland 2.0. All you need to upload photos online is a web browser and ImageIsland setup in your website! ImageIsland supports all kinds of photo uploads, including JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP. So, you can be sure, when you upload photos, your images will display in current web browsers. Unlike many of the other online photo products, ImageIsland does not create HTML pages of photos you then must post to your server. Nor does ImageIsland "convert" photos to other formats, like JPEG, when you upload them. Instead, ImageIsland supports and preserves the graphical format found in your original photo. In addition, our uploader does not require any additional setup, plugins, desktop software, COM objects, JAVA Applets, databases, or anything else to function. It uses simple web scripts built right into the web page. This means you and your users can start uploading photos and images quickly!
After installing ImageIsland on your web server and setting up all server requirements*, you can simply open up the ImageManager, click "Upload", and begin uploading photos right away. ImageIsland also creates thumbnails of all your photos, on upload. When uploading a photo, the website will create a smaller version of your original for faster display in the product's various website pages. For larger photos, this is especially helpful in giving your users a smaller preview of the photo. After upload, you can also resize the original photo using our handy "resize tool" in the ImageManager, if you like.
Allow Users to Upload Photos
With ImageIsland, you can also add the ability for other users to upload photos to your website! You can even allow your customers to login to ImageIsland, and using their web browser of choice, upload photos to your site and server without your help. Using the Security piece in ImageIsland, it's simple to add a new user, create a username/password, then assign the user to the ImageManager Module. Simply email your new user their credentials and in no time they too can log into your website, and begin uploading photos to your site. This saves you time trying to get CD's of photos and artwork from customers, or getting their photos to your server and site. After uploading, your users can manage and share all their photos securely from the ImageManager, just like you. As the site Administrator, you can simply login and see their photos in your ImageManager. Note: Users cannot see or change anyone else's photos, using their login credentials. But, the Administrator can review all photos and images after they are uploaded to your site.
