Abstract
A system, method and technique are provided for managing distribution of digital images and other media. A host computer may store a library of media files, including digital images, such as those captured by a digital camera of a user. One or more applications may run on the host computer, or on an Internet service that communicates with the host computer, in order to enable management, sharing and distribution of images stored on the host computer. A remote device may be operated by the user or guest to cause remotely viewed images that reside on the host computer to be transferred to a print service or other third-party service with a corresponding network location.
