Albums and tags

Organising photos

Photos can be selected and added to any album. This is an easy way to organise photos. Note that photos do not need to belong to any album and they can belong to any number of albums.

To create a new Album go to Album menu and click on Create an album.
New Albums can also be created in the Upload page.

Tags

Tags are a great way to classify photos. A tag can be any descriptor. For example, you may tag a photo with the names of people in it, place where it was taken, the event, photographer or whatever you chose.
The uploader will auotomatically add tags for the year and month the photo is taken in. The Apps will add a Favourite tag when a user stars any photo as a favourite.
Another handy technique is to tag photos as being *, **, ***, **** or ***** stars.

Selecting multiple photos and batch editing

How do I edit multiple photos at once?

To use Batch Edit, visit your gallery and hover over the photos you want to edit. Click the pushpins of each photo. You can also select all, which will select all the visible photos. Then select Batch Edit and edit away.

How does Batch Edit work?

Batch Edit lets you edit multiple photos at once. You can:

a. Add or remove all selected photos from albums.
b. Add or remove tags from all selected photos.
c. Change the date.
d. Change the privacy settings.
e. Delete the selected photos.

How else can I select a photo for batch editing?

You can click a photo while holding the Alt key to select it. If you want to select a range of photos to edit, click the first photo while holding the Shift key. Then click the last photo while holding Shift.

Public and private settings

Public and Private Settings

You have the option to set your photos to be Public or Private:

Public photos are visible to anyone by simply going to username.relivedigital.com. Please note that a Public photo’s metadata, tags and other details will also be visible to the public.
Private photos are only available after signing in with your password.

Any photos that are uploaded are set to private by default. You can change this when uploading by selecting Public. You can also change your privacy setting by:

a. Clicking on the padlock icon on any image.

Sharing photos

Sharing photos and albums

Sharing photos and albums is as easy as clicking on the share icon .

You can share via email, Twitter, Facebook or by embedding some code in your blog.


When you share a private photo or album, a sharing token is added to the photo link (see the code after “token-” in the image above). This is like a key and private photos or albums will become accessible to anyone in possession of this link. This is a much simpler way of sharing private materials than requiring a sign-in and password.

Remember, anyone with the sharing URL will be able to see the photos or albums!

Sharing Photos on Facebook

Sharing Photos on Facebook

To share on Facebook simply click on Post to Facebook and you will be logged into your Facebook account.

Sharing Albums on Facebook

Sharing an Album on Facebook works the same way as with photos. Just click on Post to Facebook, add a comment and select who to share with. The photo displayed on Facebook will be the first photo in your Album.


Sharing on Twitter

To share photos or albums on Twitter click on the share icon .
Then click on Post to Twitter and fill in the fields. That’s it!


Sharing by email

To share photos or albums by email click on the share icon .
Add an email address and comment and hit Send Email. An email will be sent with the sharing link.



Embedding in a blog

To embed a photo into a blog, click on Embed in Blog and copy all the text that appears below.


You can only embed photos, not albums.

Revoking a sharing link

If you wish to cancel a sharing link you can easily do so by revoking it as follows:

a. Go to Settings
b. Look through your sharing tokens.
c. Delete the tokens you wish to revoke.

Once revoked the link will no longer work.
