How to Use Photo Tools on SmugMug?

New to SmugMug? You might not be aware of the tools it provides and the ways to use it. Here, you’ll find out how to use photo tools on SmugMug and become a pro in enhancing your photos.

How to Use Photo Tools on SmugMug?

  • Photo tools are available in both Lightbox and SmugMug style for your galleries.
  • Under a feature image, in the left corner you’ll find ‘Share‘ button which enables you to share on social media sites.
  • Below the ‘Share’ tab, you’ll find Image Caption (or filenames), Keywords, Comment box, and a note if the image is collected from another gallery.
  • Under the feature image, in the center, the image count displays, for example 10/12.
  • On the right side, you’ll find a wrench icon which opens the image tools. Here, you can edit, copy, hide, develop, replace, or delete your photos.
  • The wrench icon is followed by ‘i’ (image information). It shows your photo’s EXIF data.
  • In bottom right corner, there is the ‘Download‘ button which allows you to download your original copies of your photos.

If you have given access to your visitors to download your photos, then they can do it by clicking this button. Now, you can easily edit your photos directly from SmugMug and save yourself from all the troubles in work.

SmugMug is great for uploading your photos but when it comes to uploading 100s or 1000s of photos, it becomes too slows, and bigger the upload the worse it gets. The solution is PicBackMan, a bulk uploader designer to not only help you bulk upload to SmugMug super fast, but also automate the whole process. You can test it with a 7-Day Free Trial.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.

It's AWESOME!! I have tens of thousands of pictures...and they are now successfully uploaded to SmugMug, where they are safely backed up, and I can edit and organize them. If you are hesitating about using PicBackMan, hesitate no longer...try it...and you'll be glad you did!!
Robert testimonialRobertonedrive
I started with the basic plan, went to premium and now on their platinum plan and it's more than worth the price for me. PicBackMan has saved me many tedious hours of effort moving many files between my various cloud and photo site services and my local computers.

I am very satisfied and surprised at the same time with Pic BackMan. The service is very good and useful. I used it to transfer my photos from Dropbox to my Flickr accound. I highly recomment it.
Dave testimonialDavesmugmug
PicBackMan was an answer to many a prayer. How can I get this MASSIVE collection of photos onto a service that cripples uploading? PicBackMan. I uploaded approximately 85,000 photos in less than a month. It would have taken me close to a year to get all of those photos where they needed to go. Nothing short of brilliant.
Barry Graham testimonialBarry Grahamflickr
Great tool for enduring your photos are always safely backed up. I backed up tens of thousands of photos and dozens of videos to Flickr in my 1st couple of months using PicBackMan. Would unreservedly recommend as it works seamlessly and copies your photos to Flickr in sets which reflect your folders.
Achal Gupta testimonialAchal Guptaflickr
This is a fantastic piece of software! I wanted to backup 100+ gigs worth of original sized photos to Flickr and after trying many many tools, PickBacMan was the one that finally worked. It worked flawlessly for 10 straight days uploading all my photos without a single error/ timeout/ crash. Absolutely amazing! I didn't try the other premium features but the ability to replicate stuff across multiple...
