Online photo sharing site SmugMug announced tools today to make safe backup of photos simple. Now adding or modifying photos in one location, such as a desktop, can automatically add or modify them in many diverse locations and applications, such as SmugMug's online photo albums, laptops and handhelds.

SmugMug's integration with the Microsoft Sync Framework empowers SmugMug's thriving developer community to provide dynamic photo sharing across devices, such as electronic photo frames, and many applications, such as desktop photo editing & online photo sharing. When a customer adds such things as captions and keywords to photos, they can automatically be added wherever customers choose to synchronize.

"Everyone loves to flaunt their photos and wants to keep them safe," said SmugMug President Chris MacAskill. "Now they can add once and flaunt everywhere. And watch as they're safely backed up online and copied to all their devices."

"Online photo sites are becoming more popular every day. With the multitude of devices that people use to access and modify them, synchronization is a must," said Mark Jewett, Director SQL Server at Microsoft Corp. "SmugMug has shown one of the many innovative ways that the Microsoft Sync Framework can be used to make people's life easier."
