Flickr launches prettified 'liquid' layout, brings high-resolution eye candy to the forefront
After refreshing the uploading tool (and throwing in some better editing functions), Flickr's decided to work on its looks. Its latest design update will now show a high-resolution version directly from a picture's main page. The size will also adjust itself to the resolution and size of your screen -- that's the fluid part of it -- avoid any nasty upscaling business. Hit up your own Flickr gallery to see the new design in action and expect more changes in the near future -- the developers are promising more to come.
Flickr outs new Uploadr feature for image uploads: HTML5-based, drag-and-drop UI
If you'll recall, it was only a few weeks ago when Flickr announced Aviary was replacing the vanished Picnik as the main photo-editing tool on the site. Now, continuing its ongoing makeover, the Yahoo-owned image hosting service is introducing yet another feature. Uploadr, as it's very cleverly dubbed, is an HTML5 web apparatus, which Flickr says will make for a "completely new uploading experience." There's a few major attributes Uploadr brings to the table, including improvements in the speed department, a drag-and-drop UI and bigger file size limits for paid and free users. Flickr notes that folks will now see a boost in uploading speeds of up to 30 percent, while "some" international users may see a spike of somewhere between 50-60 percent. As for file sizes, the limits have been bumped to 50MB for Pro hogs and 30MB for those enjoying the freebies. Uploadr's set to be rolling out over the "next couple of weeks," and is currently offering browser support for Chrome, Safari and Firefox.
Flickr Uploadr v3 released
A while back Mike mentioned the beta release of the stand-alone Flickr Uploadr and now the Flickr folks have announced the official release. Flickr Uploadr allows you to tag, describe, and organize your photos locally before uploading them to the online photo service. The signature new feature of version 3 allows reordering of your photos before uploading just by dragging them around. Version 3 also lets you work offline, and once you start the actual upload you can start adding and tagging new photos even before the first batch is finished uploading.Flickr Uploadr version 3.0 is a free download from Flickr.com.
