Hi Dave, I have thought of returning to Flickr as I used to use it a few years ago now. These days it appears a little dead as I look over the groups and their post dates. As a repository It may be O.K.though? It always did have a nice interface I thought.Dave S wrote:Very informative John, thanks for taking the time to post it.
I got there in there end by trial and error.
The image is in a shared folder.
Flickr is so much more intuitive, easier to use, but now I've sorted it, Google Photos will do for microscopy images, especially as they will be nowhere near the quantity, and frequency of my photography images.
Thanks Dave, seems I'll leave Flickr to it's own demise, thanks for the info.Dave S wrote:I only use Flickr as an image store John, and for linking the occasional photo to some photography groups, where direct posting applies a degree of compression to images.
I used to have a free Pro account, but lost that when Flickr broke away from a partnership with my employer. Not a problem though, as I still have adequate free space for my images. I only put selected jmages on there, as I have unlimited cloud storage with my broadband supplier. Also use Canon's free Irista cloud. Apart from that, everything is regularly backed up on two external drives.
As far as Flickr groups go, they are about as much use as a 'chocolate fireguard'. Little more than image dumping grounds, with almost zero interaction. As such I don't bother with them.
