Some additional considerations are that the smart
device app PicFrame easily allows us to put multiple
parts of photos into one image, then save it to the
smart device. While most internet media outlets allow
pictures of any dimension orientation, the social media
company Instagram posts their pictures square, so
consider the most important part of a photo that will
appear in a square when intending to post pictures
there.

SHARING BETWEEN DEVICES
It can be very helpful to use a photo sharing program, such as Dropbox
or SugarSync, to make photographs available in minutes across an entire
group of computer and smart devices. This eliminates the need to email
pictures to get them from a smartphone or tablet to a computer for
editing or when downloading pictures onto a computer from a camera that need to be
transferred to a smartphone or tablet device. These free sharing programs are a real life
saver, offering ultimate flexibility in accessing our ever important photographs across all
our devices simultaneously.
I use Dropbox; it’s so simple for me to put photographs into a Dropbox file on my computer that
then becomes available to view and use on my smartphone and tablet, and vice versa, in
minutes.
