Ideally you would store all you digital pictures on your Windows computer in Picasa and then be able to automatically upload them to your Flickr account.  Out of the box this process takes several steps. If you’d like to make this workflow painless you need to do about five minutes of installing and configuring and then your uploading will be a breeze. flickr-logo We’ll assume you’ve already downloaded Picasa, if not, get the version 3 beta, it’s great.  Got an account on Flickr? No, go to Flickr.com and sign up with your Yahoo! username and password. Next download and install FlickrUploadr.  This is an official Flickr application that let’s you upload and configure bulk digital images from your PC.  Get it here. Okay, now the last step.  Download a little piece of “glue” called “picasa2flickr”, sounds right, doesn’t it?  Download and click on this magic piece of glue will install a new button in the control panel at the bottom of your Picasa screen called “send to Flickr”. sendtoflickrbuttonSo this is the way the magic will happen, you will choose the picture/s in Picasa that you want to upload to Flickr by selecting the picture/s, then press “Send to Flickr” which activates FlickrUploadr which will give you the opportunity to add titles, descriptions and keywords to you picture.  You’ll press “Upload Pictures” and when the pictures have been uploaded to Flickr, you’ll be given one more  chance to see and manipulate them online before they appear in your Flickr account.

FlickrDown falls clearly in that category.  It’s a free Windows utility that allows you to download complete Flickr photostreams, sets or groups.  It’s a great way to backup your own Flickr account or to grab other public sets or groups that you really enjoy.  If you want to download private pictures you’ll have to authorize their download through Flickr (you’ll be prompted). The program allows you to search Flickr by username, e-mail address, tags, or groups. The program needs Microsoft .NET 2.0 to operate.  If you haven’t installed that, there is a link to the download from the FlickrDown webpage. Download FlickrDown [via LifeRocks2.0] flickrdown-screen
