  Individual photos?
...Does your browser have a "Send a Link" tool? If it does, you can do it that way...

The following example links to one of your photos. You will see the "photoID" tag. You can link a specific photo by the photoID.

  Thanks. What about embedding the photo in a web page, such as for dpreview or e-bay?

  Allan, I am not familar with how Ebay handles this or how Ebay want you to do this.
But if you know basic HTML, you can use your image source to display in any web site., that is if you are allowed to use HTML. And in that case, normally you want only the image by itself. Not the way you access your image at Betterphoto.
There are other site where you can access images only, not along with all the site info like this site. And, if your have your own Home Page, it would be ideal.

  ps: on second thought, Ebay may be just do this for you(wrap around your image in their own code), and only you need to supply the link. But still you want just the image only, not the way you view your image at Betterphoto. But it's for you to decide.

  Lastly, Allan, there should be a link to the image source only even at this site, but that info is not avaiable to public nor easily extractable.

...Sorry for keep adding notes but first I did not where you were going with this question...

  I just looked up Ebay instructions.
As I thought:
1. the photos you link from another site need to be image files, i.e. JPEG, etc...
2. you will have to use HTML tag called to display your photos there.

If you do not have a site you can load your jpeg files from, you can use free sites like www.geocities.com for your collection of image files. You really do not need to know much about HTML.
Once you upload your photos there, then just follow the Ebay instructions to link these photos.

  Appreciate the help. Using your ideas I was able to link to the photo file. Everything works fine.
