.Mac Photocasting
Sharing photos means much more than just looking at prints. You may want to send
your photos to your family and friends in digital form so that they can view them in
slideshows or use them in projects like iPhoto books and calendars.
It can be di∑ cult to send an album’s worth of large digital photos in an email. If you
send images on a CD, you have to burn a new disc every time you make changes
to an album. .Mac breaks through these barriers with an entirely new concept—
Photocasting.

Photocasting automatically delivers any album in your iPhoto 6 library to your family
and friends. Whenever you add, delete, or change photos in your album, the updates
appear on their computers—all thanks to .Mac.
Publish an album in iPhoto 6 as a Photocast with a single click. Although you have
to be a .Mac member to publish a Photocast, anyone can subscribe; subscribers simply
click a link in a notifi cation email or on a web page.
iPhoto 6 users who subscribe to a Photocast will see the album in their library, right
next to their other albums. Windows users and other Mac users can subscribe to a
Photocast by using any photo-compatible RSS reader. You can protect your shared
albums with a password if you wish.
When you set up a Photocast, you select the resolution of the images you want to
deliver, all the way up to full resolution. Full-resolution photos delivered in a Photocast
can be used to create the full range of iPhoto 6 projects—including slideshows, screen
savers, desktop pictures, custom photo books, cards, calendars, and more.
