Well, I have to eat my words. Back in December I transferred 46 family photos taken on Christmas day from my iPhone to Lightroom on my MacBook. Subsequently I posted edited versions of 12 photos to an album on Flickr. As I understand it now, it seems that in the last upgrade of the Flickr mobile app auto upload was set as default. When I went to Flickr for the first time in a while yesterday I discovered that the Flickr app had uploaded all the photos on my phone, including the 46 from Christmas day, thus overriding the 12 photos that I had edited and uploaded from Lightroom. I have reset the app not to auto upload, but It appears the only way to get rid of the auto upload album on Flickr is to delete all the photos in it. Doing that would delete that 12 photos uploaded back in December, though the current copies lack whatever editing I did in Lightroom. So it seems the only way to get back to square one with the Christmas album is to go ahead and delete all the photos in the upload album and then re-upload the 12 edited copies from Lightroom. A lot of trouble that I should not have been put through. As one poster on the Flickr help forum suggested, auto upload should have been an opt-in not an op-out feature. Why anyone would want ALL the photos they take uploaded to Flickr is beyond me. The assumption seems to be that every photo we take is perfect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] “...we are a form of invitation to others and to otherness..." - David Whyte -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
