Inviting Friends to View Your Photos

To invite friends, first open the album or image that you want to share. Then click on the Invite Friends button at the top of the image.

The first time you do this, you are prompted to enter the names and e-mail addresses of the people you want to invite. Click Add to add them to your Address Book.

Add e-mail addresses to your FotoFinish Net Address Book

Next, you’ll be taken to the Invitation Screen, which allows you to draft the e-mail invitation that will be sent to your friends. All of the names shown in the To: field will receive the e-mail.  You may find it convenient to add yourself to any e-mail invitation that you send out, so that you can see exactly what your friends are receiving. 

FotoFinish Net will remember the names and e-mail addresses you have entered in previous sessions so you don’t have to type them in each time. To add or remove people from the invitation, click on Edit Recipients.

Three buttons at the bottom of the screen allow you to specify whether your invited friends will see just one Image, a whole Album, or all of your albums in your Web space.

You will probably want to change the default subject line and message body in your e-mail invitation.  Just type over the placeholder message provided there

Below the message that you type, in the body of the e-mail, FotoFinish will automatically create a hyperlink that allows your friends one-click access to the image or albums that you want them to see.  That link encodes a special key that restricts these visitors to the image or pages you specify. They cannot browse your Web space (unless you let them), or change any features related to your images or albums. They do not have access to your password or account information.   Your friends are in a “viewing only” mode when they visit your Web space.
