" In simple terms, Photosynth allows you to take a bunch of photos of the same scene or object and automagically stitch them all together into one big interactive 3D viewing experience that you can share with anyone on the web."

Photosynth requires the installation of Microsoft silverlight to view and at this stage only works on a PC. You will also need a windows live account.

Photosynths can be embedded in your blog though you will need a good broadband connection.

Seven million images of American history and culture are now available on this Life.com site. The site contains the entire archives of Life magazine and Getty Images and all of them are available free. Users can view galleries curated by the site's editors or search the library by names, dates, subjects, and locations. The archive chronicles current events, too, with daily news galleries and the addition of 3,000 new Getty photos a day.

Photos on the site are organized into five channels: news, celebrity, travel, animals, and sports. Visitors can print individual images and share them through sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Delicious. New features of Life.com, due to roll out in the coming months, will allow users to create their own photo galleries. All the site's tools will be free.

Slide is another online presentation tool that puts images together with music from the Slide site along with a range of effects. You can upload and use your own images or access images from a range of other social sites including Flickr. Once you have added the images you get to choose from a range of preloaded music to add a soundtrack before adding other effects. To see a Slide show I made go to http://mrpbps.globalstudent.org.au/2009/03/16/testing-slide/ It is very easy to use.

Picture Australia is an Internet based service that allows you to search many significant online pictorial collections at the same time. When you do a search on Picture Australia, thumbnail images are retrieved from participating institutions on the fly and inserted into the search results. For example, a search on 'St Kilda' will retrieve images from all the agencies that hold relevant material, including the Nolan Gallery, the National Library of New Zealand, the National Archives of Australia, the State Library of Victoria, etc. In your search results you will see sets of 'thumbnail' or preview images. When you click on one of these you will go to the web site of the relevant agency to view the full-size version and you can order a high-resolution copy if required. You can move between Picture Australia and the participating agencies' web sites using the BACK button in your web browser.
