Methods and systems for creating a collection of digital media. In one example of a method, at least one search parameter is defined, and a search is performed using the search parameter to search through parameters for a first plurality of digital media. The search obtains a second plurality of digital media which is a subset of the first plurality of digital media. Then a media container is automatically generated from the search results. The media container may, in one embodiment, be a digital picture album having multiple pages with multiple digital pictures.

Methods and apparatuses for creating a collection of media

Methods and apparatuses for presenting a collection of digital media in a media container. In one example of a method, a page of the media container is displayed on a display device in a first region. The page is capable of displaying at least one visual representation of a digital media on the page. The page includes a position in the first region which is capable of displaying an image of a first visual representation. The first visual representation is displayed in a second region while displaying the page in the first region. The position is capable of displaying the image after a dragging operation is performed from the first visual representation in the second region to the position in the first region.

Methods and apparatuses for presenting a collection of digital media in

Methods and apparatuses for publishing a collection of digital media on a network. In one example of a method, a client digital processing system generates a collection of digital media and transmits collection information, which describes the collection of digital media, to a server digital processing system. From the collection information, a plurality of presentable media is automatically generated; each of these presentable media is capable of being presented to other client digital processing systems which are coupled to the network. In this one example, the network is operating according to a hypertext transfer protocol. In this one example, the client and server systems are programmed to interact together such that the presentable media is automatically generated.

Methods and apparatuses for distributing a collection of digital media

Methods and apparatuses for presenting a collection of digital media in a media container. In one example of a method, a plurality of pages in a media container is defined. Each page has at least one location for presenting a digital media, and each page has first information which defines a layout on the page of at least one digital media. The first information for a page is independently controllable relative to other pages of said plurality of pages. At least one page of the media container is presented according to the first information.
