share photos using Imagebrowser ex
Use Canon’s free software to share your processed JPEGS at home, in print, online or via email
In our previous issue’s look at Canon’s free Imagebrowser EX program we demonstrated how to use the software to tweak your photographs’ colours, tones and composition to perfection. And once you’ve got your favourite images looking their best you can use Imagebrowser
EX’S sharing tools to enable your photographs to be seen by family, friends and colleagues.
Sadly, Imagebrowser EX no longer enables you to export JPEGS directly to Facebook or video clips to Youtube (despite those buttons still being present in the Share menu). You need to use a web browser to perform those social media
uploading tasks. However, you can still upload your best shots (and favourite video clips) directly from Imagebrowser EX to a free web gallery, courtesy of Canon’s Image Gateway service. After registering with Image Gateway you can enjoy 10GB of storage space for free, which is enough to display thousands of JPEGS online.
You can then send friends a link to the Canon-hosted web gallery so that they can enjoy perusing your pictures from their PC or mobile device.
Imagebrowser EX also makes it easy for you to share shots via email. A full-size JPEG weighs in at around 10MB, so you can resize the images to smaller email-friendly formats.
