Sharing Photos and Videos

4.1. Viewing a photo or video

To view a video or photo that has been taken, locate it in the photo stream and double click on it. Alternatively, you can right click on it and select “Open”. This will then open the file in the default application for that file type.

4.2. Saving photos and videos to an alternate location

To save a photo to an alternate place on your hard drive where you can easily find them, find the photo or video that you wish to save in the photo stream, right click on it and select “Save As” from the pop-up menu. This will bring up a standard “Save File” dialog that will allow you to rename the photo if desired and save to any location you wish.

4.3. Deleting a photo

To delete a photo from the photo stream, locate the photo you wish to delete in the photo stream, left click on it once and press the delete button on your keyboard. Alternatively, you can right click on it and click “Delete”.

You will be prompted if you wish to delete it from the photo stream. To confirm, press the button labelled “Move to Trash”.

This will only move the image to the "trash", as well as remove from your photo stream. This will not remove the photo from your computer. To remove it from your trash, you will need to empty your trash.

4.4. Send a photo by e-mail

Photos can be directly emailed from Cheese. You will need to have the default mail client set up with an email account, otherwise you will need to set one up. To email a photo, locate the photo you wish to email in the photo stream, right click on it and select “Send by Mail”.

This will open the default mail client (for example, Evolution) and a new email message with the photo as an attachment.

4.5. Set as Account Photo

To set a photo as your account photo (which can be viewed from System -> Preferences -> About Me, and which will also appear if the login window displays a list of user names with photos), locate the photo that you wish to set in Cheese, right click on it and select “Set as Account Photo”

4.6. Export a photo to F-Spot

To export a photo to F-Sport, locate the photo that you wish to export in your photo stream, right click on it and select “Export to F-Spot”. You will then be prompted from F-Spot if you wish to import the photos that are sent to it.

Depending on the version of Cheese that you are currently using, F-Spot may prompt you to import the entire photo stream.
