Other options for sharing your images online
Elements contains op-
tions for quickly optimiz-
ing photos so they are
suitable for photo shar-
ing sites such as Flickr.
Although producing and Online Album linked to your Photoshopshowcase.com account is
a very easy and efficient way to get your photos online, some readers may already have es-
tablished accounts on other photo sharing sites such as Flickr, Facebook or SmugMug. Well
there is no need to stop using these sites just because you are now managing your photos
with Photoshop Elements.
Dedicated options for exporting photos directly to these popular web sites have been avail-
able for few versions now. Once the connection between Elements and your favorite sharing
site has been authorized, it is a simple matter of selecting the photos to upload and then
clicking on the associated entry in the Share panel.
Sending your Elements photos to Flickr
Flickr.com is a very popular photo sharing site that allows image makers to upload their
photos and then display them publicly for all the world to view, or provide only selected,
invited, friends to see their work. The Share To Fickr
option in the Share panel of Photoshop Elements
provides a very simple way for Elements users to add
the photos they manage in the Organizer to their
Flickr site.
Obviously to take advantage of this feature you must
already have a Flickr account. A new account can be
created for free by visiting www.Flickr.com an d click-
ing the Sign Up option in the site's menu bar.
As with all the sharing options that involve estab-
lished photo sites, the first step in the process is to
get both Photoshop Elements an d Flickr.com talking
to each other. This involves an authorization process
Before you can start to share the photos you are managing with Photo-
shop Elements on your Filckr site you must authorize access to Flickr from
Elements. This is a once-only process which you complete the first time
you use the Create > Share To Flickr feature.
