iPhoto to Facebook Plugin
The majority of people I have spoken to about iLife are excited most about the new iPhoto features. There has been a fair bit of discussion about the new export features that got me thinking about a previous post on DigMo!
If you are struggling to justify the upgrade to iLife 09 then the free iPhoto to Facebook Plugin just might appeal. The application allows users to instantly upload images to their Facebook profile as well as tag each image with names of users etc.
Using the plugin could not be easier. Once installed simply follow the steps below don’t panic about adding private photos etc as the uploaded photos are considered “pending”. You’ll have the opportunity to review pending photos on Facebook and set the privacy level before making them visible from your profile.
Simply download the install file and follow the install procedure.
Once installed using the plugin couldn’t be easier :
1. Select Photos in your iPhoto Library
Select your favorite photos or a whole album, click “Export” in the “File” menu (or the “Share” menu in iPhoto 5), then click the “Facebook” tab. Your photos will be previewed here.
2. Pick a Facebook Album
Pick one of your existing Facebook albums, or create a new one. Your photos will be uploaded to this album.
3. Add Captions
Scroll through your photos and add captions to any or all of them. The captions are auto-filled with any comments you’ve already made through iPhoto.
4. Tag Your Friends
You can tag your friends using the same quick-and-easy interface found on Facebook. Click on someone in your photo, then select from a list of your friends.
Note: If any of your friends have disabled access for this Platform application, they won’t be displayed in your friend list.
5. Export
When you are done adding captions and tags, click the “Export” button to upload your photos to your Facebook account.
