Re: test : Uploading Large Images with Flickr
Hi Loyd I am not sure where your problems are coming from so I am going to take you through how I successfully upload large images with Flickr. I am assuming that because Flickr is web based it will work in Windows just the same as in my MacOS. I shall be using my last image from the challenge. It's quite large: 1239 x 2669 pixels. Here it is small: 
Going through the whole process step by step is really the only way to determine if you are doing something differently from what works perfectly for me. Because I will be doing it in this very basic simple manner it's going to look as I think you can't read without moving your lips. 
Forgive me. Not my intention .... 
So .... this is what I do: Step 1 Open Flickr:It should open by default with the upload screen. 
Step 2 Drag your image into the upload screen. Click the upload button. 
Step 3 Click upload again. 
Step 4 The image should now appear in your photostream. Double click it. 
Step 5 Click the share button bottom right. 
Step 6 A dialogue will appear. Make sure BBC Code is selected. 
Step 7 Open the dropdown and scroll to the bottom. The last size listed should be Original - the size you uploaded. Select this size. The BBC code will change accordingly. 
Step 8 Click in the BBC code to select it. 
Step 9 Right click and copy to clipboard. 
Step 10 Paste into HTCP dialogue. Look at the link. Half way through you will see the end of a URL followed by the start of a new URL. 
Step 11 Select the second half and delete it. 
Step 12 The preceding step isn't essential but it will avoid this happening and post a clean image on it's own. 
Step 14 So that's it. The link, obtained by all the steps above, should display my image full size. (Note: The magnifying glass for zooming in will only display if the image is bigger than your browser window.) I hope somewhere you may find a difference between what you are doing and what I have shown here that can explain your problems because this has worked perfectly for me for years. In fact, I have posted images far, far larger than this without any problems. Here 'tis ...........  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: test
Thanks David for helping me. I used all of your steps and it works fine until I get to the 'size' dropdown box. It still only gives me the max size of 1024x576, original does not display at all. Deleting the second half of the link does just as you stated and works albeit at the reduced size. I have come to the conclusion that the difference must be that I am only using the 'free' version of Flickr. Should I assume that your are using the pro version? My only use for this service from any provider is only for the weekly challenge, I wouldn't use it for any other purpose. With that said, I must consider another option if I am forced to pay for it. Photobucket claims to support large gif animations as well as large jpg images. I would prefer to pay for only one provider if possible. Again, many thanks for your time and trouble to help. |

Re: test
Duh! Why didn't I think of that? Yes I use Flickr pro. I don't just use it for HTCP. Pro allows you to restrict viewing only to those to whom you provide links whereas free is completely public. I have a two year contract for 131€ (150$) so that's 65€ (75$) a year. Not too crippling. A hefty 21% of that is European tax so it might be quite a bit cheaper in the US. Help costs only a little bit of time and us retired gents have that to spare. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |
