Web iPhoto Access allows you to share your iPhoto Libraries over the internet. As soon as you have uploaded pictures or movies from your camera to your library, you want these pictures to be available to your friends, family or whoever. WiPhA provides a powerful, beautiful and easy to use web interface to your libraries as well as automatic photocast of all your albums. Moreover, people can easily download a bunch of pictures and import them in their own iPhoto library with your captions and comments (for your lucky friends also using Mac).

Your Mac OS X standard installation includes a web server which will be used to let others access to your pictures through their web browser. After having installed WiPhA, all you have to do is configure your friends' rights and give them the URL to connect to (anonymous guest access is supported too). You don't even need to be logged in, as long as your computer is on, connected to the internet, and its web server is still running.

Author's Note: As of iPhoto 06, you can have a library which does not contain your pictures, but just owns aliases to the pictures which may be stored anywhere you want. WiPhA follows these aliases to provide the pictures to your users, but you may encounter some permission issues. Please remember that WiPhA runs as the "Web server" user, and that you must ensure it can access your files.
