Uploading an image to Flickr

You can upload an image to Flickr right from within Posterino.

Prerequisites:

To upload an image to Flickr:

  1. Start the export to Flickr

    To display the export options, choose the Export toolbar button (or press Command-K):

    Select a export option.
    Select a export option.

    Choose Upload to Flickr.

  2. Specify upload details

    The Flickr Upload Details sheet will drop down:

    Flickr upload details.
    Flickr upload details.

    If you like, specify a title, a description and some tags. Additionally you can choose the maximal size of the image to be uploaded and the privacy settings. Toggling the "Has border and shadow" switch let you choose wether or not the image should have a border and a shadow like the email postcards have. If you check "Open Flickr.com after successful upload" Posterino will open the uploaded image in your Flickr account using your default web browser.

    Choose Upload to start the upload process.

  3. Link Posterino to your Flickr account

    The first time you use Posterino to upload an image to Flickr you have to pass some additional steps. For security reasons, you need to allow Posterino to upload images to your Flickr account. Usually this has to be done only once.

    Authorize .
    Flickr upload details.

    Choose Authorize to open the Flickr authorization screen in your default browser:

    Flickr authorization screen.
    Flickr authorization screen.

    Click the OK I'LL ALLOW IT button to allow Posterino to access your account. Flickr will answer with a message like this:

    Authorization successful.
    Authorization successful.

    Now switch back to Posterino where you will find this notification:

    Continue.
    Continue.

    Click Continue to start the upload process.

  4. Show uploaded image in browser (optional)

    If you did check "Open Flickr.com after successful upload" in step 2, Posterino will now open your uploaded image in your default web browser.
