Those of you who use album will have noticed it's gone through a major revamp lately.
I've just uploaded a pic and it says "This photo was taken with a Sony Cybershot, with exposure time 10/300 and f=21, on 2005:10:31 11:48:34. The flash did not fire."
Clever!

I noticed that while looking through the gallery that some of the pictures listed had that information. I wonder if it has to do with uploading a raw image that has not passed through a photo editing prog or whether it is related to the make of camera? Interested to find out because I can never remember what the heck my settings were and it'd be fantastic to have that kind of record

well interestingly enough the one i noted had been cropped in photoshop, but the meta data must have been left intact.

Probably depends on your photo editor. I'm pretty sure the JPG format has an extensible block format...so the Sony camera people have probably just published some documentation about the additional blocks their cameras add to JPGs.

I opsted on the album forum to ask about it and got the explantion that it was exif format or something that went in one ear and out the other, anyway there seems to have been something set wrong on my camera because I did a clean up of settings and took a new picture and uploaded it and got the photo info, great stuff, now I can stop stressing about trying to recall if that picture was taken with more or less exposure heh. Exposure time can make quite a difference when taking macro shots and I always had a bugger of a time working out what pic was what setting

trying to upload photos to album at the minute, but I always get the message "None of the files you uploaded were valid photos of a type supported by Album."
Anyone else having this bother?

Yeh I had that problem uploading a .png file from work a couple of weeks back. I figured it was either a result of doing it from work or using a .png file but when I tried it again this week it worked.
So I dunno what the problem was sorry.

I contacted their support and they resolve the issue in about ten minutes.
This is the second time I've had to contact them (first was on a weekend) and have to say they have excellent support. Makes a refreshing change.

i had trouble creating a photot set and they emailed me apologizing having noticed that i was having trouble and it was due to some virus that they had now removed.

hmm, I still can't create photosets. I think I'll email. They do have great support.
I hope you guys are supporting kiwi business by subscribing to album, it's not uber expensive and I figure the more money they get rolling in the more they remain active and on call to fix problems

I get to have 10000 phots hosted. So instead of having to delete older ones to make room for new ones I can just keep em all, I have 400 and something there now, and am at only 4% of my allowance. Also I have money sitting in the account for getting photos printed. they're actually pretty good. Plus they just reduced the shipping cost and the cost of prints Just one thing to watch out for, make sure you take your pictures on the largest file size your camera will support, and that you upload them into album at that size and not edit them to a smaller file size. Cos if you get a print of a picture that's been reduced down for wenb browsing it looks like shit (learned from experience  ) I'm trying to build an actual physical portfolio of my creative works so I have something to show people in person as well as just directing them to a web adress online |

They do that because even crappy brain dead email clients from the 80's will display at least the first line of most messages - even it they can't understand the HTML etc. It's all part of the Internet standards that control the transmission of email messages. Why yes, I do write email software for a living  . |
