This way, I’ll save a lot of time, albeit will make it hard to follow for those of you who do. So, instead of adding a few pictures every day, evenly through a month, I’ll be adding a few thousand during the first few days, until I hit my bandwidht limitation. Thirdly, my uploads to Flickr will be in large batches. I am not going to resize pictures to 1024×768 though. Now, I am very willing to sucrifice 10% of quality for 66% of the size.
Before I didn’t have any space or bandwidth limitations, so I didn’t care. Common metadata such as title, description and tags can be pre-populated based on information contained in the image itself, using what is commonly called EXIF information. A reduction of 10% quality, which is not even noticable can bring the image size down to 1 MByte. At flickr, there are quite a few photos and you can browse the site in 8 different languages, including Korean and Chinese. Images that come out of my camera are usually bigger than 3 MBytes. I’ll be going through the gallery, deleting bad pictures, and slightly compressing the rest of them. Although some people would probably find some pictures pleasurable. There’s just too much noise, which I don’t care about. Secondly, I’ll have to trim my photo gallery a bit. So, eventually I’ll have it all at Flickr. Hopefully, I’ll be uploading faster than making new pictures. In the light of this limitation however, I’ll have to somewhat review my migration process.įirstly, I’ll be adding new images to my current gallery, not to Flickr. There are tons of features, and possibly the cleanest user interface out of all webservices out there. Flickr is a nice tool and the more I use the more I like. I checked the size of my entire photo gallery and was somewhat shocked to find out that it was more than 2 year’s worth of uploads at this rate.Īpparently, there is a thread at Flickr forums where several people ask Flickr to give them a way to upload more. Only unique items that havent been uploaded before get backed-up. I have uploaded albums from 1995, 1996, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and a few from 2004, when my limits were out. If you force quit the Flickr app (iOS), the Auto-Uploadr will pause.
#Flickr uploadr ignored professional
Even though I have a professional account that allows for 2 GBytes per month, I should have checked the size of my photo gallery before I started the move. Even when I was reminded that they exist, I simply ignored the signs. In the excitement of move to Flickr, I totally forgot about one thing – bandwidth limitations.
