Big Huge Labs

Flickr is a amazing photo sharing site, as well as just a great place to keep your favorite photos, but when you want to show off your photos sometimes showing friends a stunning picture, all the Flickr bars and options pull the attention from the actual photo.

Here’s where one of this week’s company come in... Big Huge Labs is a site that aggregates a whole slew of Flickr tools and toys all on one page.

Now on my more important photos I always add a link to “View This Photo On Black” so if someone wants to see the photo in the raw without all the Flickr tools and options that take away from the experience. Instead, the viewers gets the following experience.

Some other cool tools Big Huge Labs provides for your photos are adding a digital matting, puzzles to purchase, mosaics, calendars, movie posters, magazine covers, CD cover, blog headers, or maybe you would like to add cartoon bubbles to a photo with captions.

Flickr Pro

We all know about Flickr, the website for organizing and sharing our photos. Most people don't actually have an account though. I got a free account a little over a year ago to host some photos, but recently I decided that I was going to use Flickr a lot more, so I upgraded to a pro account. Lets compare the differences: with a free account you get a 100MB a month upload limit, you are allowed 3 photo sets and your photos are cut off at the 1024x768 size, images under 5MB each only.

With the Flickr badge_pro.gif.v2 account you are given unlimited storage, unlimited photo sets, a permanent online archive for your photos, ad free browsing and sharing, account and photo statistics, and the photo quality has essentially no resolution limit.
