Flickr and Picnik: Better and Betterer

posted by aprocissi Jul 21st, 2008

Since launching back in early December, our relationship with Flickr has been a gigantic success, with Flickrites tagging hundreds of thousands of their photos with “Picnik”, the Flickr Picnikers group getting huge with tips, sharing, and contests, and even our very own Southern Hemisphere Branch Office to manage all this thrilling growth. And starting today, Picnik in Flickr is getting even better! After uploading photos to Flickr, you’ll now see a new Save and Edit button which lets you quickly and easily edit a whole basket full of photos as you upload them, without having to go back and forth into Picnik for each shot.

This kind of set editing is designed to streamline the upload and edit experience for all Flickr users, and after yet another record-breaking weekend, we’re all giddy about delivering these new Basket Technologies™ to all our millions of users, first on Flickr and then (soon!) beyond!

    Excellent tool – thanks! Are there any plans to introduce batch editing, so that I can apply a bunch of settings to a range of pictures?

    This should be a great help. Has anyone used this feature with the Flickr Uploadr app? I don’t see where it is an option?

    Thanks,
    Jim

    Well I just tried uploading two photos with the Flickr Uploadr app and never saw any options to “Save and Edit” the photos in a batch. So does this only work with the web upload feature?

    Thanks,
    Jim

    OK, I figured it out. After you upload them, you get an option to “Stay here” or “Go to Flickr”. If you go to flickr then it gives you a chance to “Save and Edit”. The only problem with this is your unedited photos are already on flickr while your editing them. You could upload them as private and then after editing save them as public, then nobody would see the unedited photos.
