Why Flickr?
Flickr offers 1TB of free storage
for photos and video. Your
uploaded photos are stored at
their original size and resolution
and you control who can view
and/or download them. There
are a number of organization
and editing tools to help you
organize and manage your
archive.
But thats just the beginning.
With Flickr you control the
licensing rights (copyright,
Creative Commons, public
domain) and privacy settings
(only you, family, friends, public)
assigned to each photo. Add
your own titles, descriptions
and tags then invite others to
add their comments. Flickr is
very search friendly and has a
number of social features too,
making it a great place to meet
research cousins.
Your abundance of choices can
also be a curse. This guide will
help you develop a storytelling
style that enhances your family
history project and supports
your workflow.
Click the Upload icon to display the folders containing image files on your
computer. In this example from my Mac, that even includes Dropbox and
external hard drives. Click in the check box to the left of a folder to include it
in the uploaders watch list.
Note that the Pictures folder has a triangle icon on the left. This means there
are sub-folders in the Pictures folder. Click that icon and those sub- folders
are displayed with checkboxes so you can make your selections.
If you have photos in folders not shown here, click the plus (+) button at the
bottom of the panel to navigate to that folder and add it to your list.
You can select all the folders you want and the uploader will begin the initial
upload. Depending on the size of your collection, this could take some time.
Once done, the app will monitor your system and upload new photos as they
are saved to your computer.
After selecting one or more items in the Camera Roll, a set of command icons
appears at the bottom of the browser's screen. These include:
Privacy - with options for Public, Private, Friends, Family or Friends &
Family
Edit - displays an options panel
Share - allows sharing these photos on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest or by Mail
Add to an album
Download the selected photos
Delete the selected photos from Flickr.
This is the editing panel that is displayed when the Edit icon is selected
on the Camera Roll screen. Changes made to this panel if apply to
each selected photo (14 in this example).
Here I can add titles
and descriptions,
change the privacy
setting determining
who can view these
photos and set who
can comment and add
tags to these photos.
If my photos are
explicit, I can use the
Safe setting to set
them as Restricted.
Flickr users can
choose to only view
Safe or Moderate
photos when browsing
Flickr and this setting
defines that.
The copyright options
include all rights reserved, public domain work, public domain
dedication and several Creative Commons options. These are best
described as some rights reserved and are explained in detail at http://
www.creativecommons.org.
When uploading photos, the dates are automatically included from the
embedded metadata. This is not true when uploading scanned photos.
If I know when one of those photos was taken, I can manually enter the
information here.
