Flickr fumbles or kuler krumbles

I never got a Flickr error on kuler saying "This service is
temporarily unavailable" before today.
And Flickr is NOT kuler.
Maybe it's the new integration? The error did not match
Kuler's color scheme either. Lighter grays.

I do not have a Flickr account.
I've never seen the error before Flickr integration was
added. I wasn't even in the Flickr screen.
This was before I used Safari yesterday to get to Kuler. It
worked a lot better because of the switch.

Flickr fumble: Error code (0)

I was browsing Flickr images, looking for something that
would catch my eye, when Flickr error (0) showed up. This was in
Explore / Interesting.
Is this a regular error or something new?

Hello, this Flickr error code means that the API is
unavailable from Flickr itself. I see it intermittently, sometimes
when I'm not even using the Flickr feature in kuler.

Now I can't post a theme!?

I tried to create a theme today, but I got ECw/S and no trace
of the theme.
Kuler needs to be repaired - and fast. Today alone, I've seen
more kuler krumbles (and flickr fumbles) than ever in the last
three months. Help us, Mr. Iwata! I thank you for this, but it's
still held up by duct tape!

Raymie, as you see we are addressing a few bugs right now, so
if you can use Safari for now, we'll look at the issues you raised
when things calm down. Ah, the new release of beta software, some
days it does feel like duct tape, however features like color
extraction are created from more rigorous material <grin>.
Thanks for your patience.

NodeBox mashup with Kuler and Flickr

Hi all, I recently came across NodeBox, a generative art tool
for Macs... They have a number of great functions already in the
tool, and a very impressive set of 3rd party libraries, Kuler and
Flickr included... so in a very lines of code I was able to create
compositions like this one:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/chadudell/2248119376/in/set-72157602761278378/
Anyway, check out the rest of the set and then try out this
code in NodeBox...
size(500,500);
web = ximport("web")
# the search string, yo!
q = "knife"
images = web.flickr.search(q, start=1, count=100,
cached=True)
images.sort() # sort images according to times viewed
for img in images:
print img.name, img.views
img = images[0]
img.download(thumbnail=False)
myImage = image(img.path, 0, 0, width=500, height=300)
print img.author, img.path
themes = web.kuler.search(q)
for r, g, b in themes[0]:
print r,g,b
#create the text objects to dump out the author names, image
names, theme names, etc.
#depending on the image returned, I alter the
"fill" colors to better suit the images or
themes.
fill(1,1,1)
font("Helvetica", 20)
text(img.name, 10, 275)
text(img.author, 10, 295)
fill(r,g,b)
text(themes[0].author, 10, 420)
text(themes[0].label, 10, 440)
#i modify the width of the them rendered to match the photo,
wasn't able to do something like image.width for some reason
themes[0].draw(0, 300, w=90, h=100)

Sami, thanks for the kinda words... I'm not sure if NodeBox
can be served as a web based script. I'm checking on that. Until
then, if you have a mac, feel free to try out the source posted
above.

From what I can tell, it seems that the function will be more tolerant the closer it is to the click point.
In other words, it's kinda of like a radial gradient spanning out from the point that you click. It will select more for the area closer to the click point and gradually less as it moves away.
This may or may not be what it does, this is just what I have found from fooling around with it.

Trouble signing into my flickr account

Hi,
When I choose "create from an image" from Kuler and then try to login to flickr - Flickr returns the following error:
Oops! The API key or signature is invalid.
An external application has requested your login credentials and permission to perform certain actions on your behalf, but has failed to include all the required data.
You don't really need to know what this means, except that you can't use the application until this problem is fixed. (It's a third-party problem, not a Flickr problem.)
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,
S
Know one has an answer to this? Someone at Adobe?

Hi,
We are working on this issue. It should be resolved soon.
However, til then you can work with flickr without sign in. Just search for the image you want with your user name and select it.

What file types does Kuler iPhone app support for images?

Kuler supports all images in your camera roll, on Google images, or Flickr.

clarkkent26,
It is on page 51 of the User's Guide (July 16, 2008 revision):
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
iPhone displays most picture attachments (JPEG, GIF, and TIFF) inline with the text
in email messages. iPhone can play many audio attachments (such as MP3, AAC,
WAV, and AIFF). You can download and view files (such as PDF, webpage, text, Pages,
Keynote, Numbers, and Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents) attached to
messages you receive.
What format are the pictures you are receiving in?
Have you tapped them to download in case they were too large to automatically download over your current connection?
Thank you,
Nathan C.

How can I use more than one Facebook ID in Photos? (Plus, Flickr upload issues!)

I'm having problems with the new Photos and ability to share images from the application. It seems I can only have my personal Facebook ID, and can't add a second ID (which is my business page, which I also like to post images to).
Any idea how to add a Facebook Page ID?
Also having major problems with Flickr. Seems inputting my user name (through System Preferences) does not match my actual user name in the Flickr app, so I can't upload images. UGH. (Why was this okay in iPhoto, but not now?) The only way to access Flickr is inputting your Yahoo ID, but if your Yahoo ID is different than your actual user name on Flickr, you're screwed.
Any ideas? I tried deleting the profile, but I still can't input my Flickr name.
Thanks.

So, after trying to upload an album four times, it seems it finally kicked in/made the connection on Flickr. MAGIC.
A second Facebook ID, however, remains a mystery.

Adobe Bridge CS6 flickr export issue

I am trying to export my pics from Adobe Bridge CS6 to Flickr. When I try to setup the a/c for the 1st time, it should take me to the Flickr website where it will provide me with a code that I put in a box to pair both. but in my case the Bridge is simply not doing it!! can anyone suggest any solutions for this? if it helps, I run Adobe Bridge CS6 on OS X Mavericks.
Thanks,
Keshav.

Exporting to Flickr from Bridge CS6 Fail

I'm trying to export photos from Bridge CS6 to my Flickr.com account for the first time in several months, and getting an error message from Bridge that it cannot "authenticate with Flickr". I've used presets that were successful in the past, as well as going through the usual routine to get new authentication codes from Flickr.com. I recently updated my iMac to OSX 10.x, but visiting Flickr's community site suggests that they adopted a new API that was sent to developers like Adobe and that Adobe has not updated their export protocol. Other contributors to the site suggest that Adobe's position is that Flickr needs to do something. Are others experiencing this problem? Does Adobe offer no solutions to this problem?
Any advice would be appreciated.

I had to rebuild the file from scratch in order to export the pdf, and the hotspots line up accurately to their originally location drawn on fireworks.
This may have occurred because I began the document with a canvas size of portrait letter, but changed the canvas size later to landscape letter, and although everything looked well and fine, the export was still triggering the old referential data in the file.

Any hope for Adobe Bridge's Flickr Export feature?

Hi,
I've been using Adobe Bridge CS5 for a few years now and I love it's features. However, only recently have I decided to explore posting pictures to on-line albums, in particular, Flickr.
Having experimented with Bridge's Flickr Export Panel, I notice that it always asks me to log-in and then it can re-authenticate. I had started a discussion on Flickr's help forum, and the best suggestion was that CS5's Flickr Export module may be using http: instead of https: I always get an error and cannot upload any photos to my Flickr account.
Any chance that this is the problem and that there is a fix for it?
Is there an updated Flickr export module?
Are there other export modules, say to Google+?
I am currently not interested in opening a Facebook account, so I don't want to use the Facebook export module.
Please reference the below link to read the Flickr forum discussion.

Thanks,
Randy

I called the Adobe 1-800 support number yesterday and went through the phone prompts and found that I could no longer connect to CS support. It just told me that phone support is not available and to go to the web site for support. It then ended the call. Since the phone message I got on Friday told me to call them back I called the number again and simply hit the prompts for Creative Cloud support and told them that I had an open case. I gave her my case number and see looked it up and immediately asked me if she could take control of my computer. Wow! They obviously have a much higher level of support staff for the Creative Cloud subscribers as I doubt if the Level 1 staff I talked to for regular CS-6 support could even do that, (or would know how). I told her that a Level 2 Tech had already done that earlier with no results. She put me on hold while she checked with the next level of support. After a minute or so she came back on and said that a Level 2 tech would call me back to troubleshoot my issue. I stayed home all day yesterday waiting for the call but nothing. I just hope that when they do call me I am actually home this time or we could be playing telephone tag forever. This is the second time I have called them back when they left a message on my answering machine.
You would think that when they call and get an answering machine that they would try to call back later, instead of making you call them back at the general support number and ending up talking to a different Level 1 person each time, who then has to research your case and then tries to fix the problem themselves when they can’t, or else I wouldn’t have been sent up to Level 2 in the first place. I’ve dealt with other support issues with other companies and they will dedicate one person to your case and that’s who you deal with each time. It’s much more efficient for them and for the customer. I hope someone from Adobe actually reads this forum once in a while. There customer support could definitely use improvement.
The next time I talk to them I am going to point them to this forum thread to prove it’s not just me.
Can I ask everyone to post what operating system they are using. Maybe that will narrow things down, or prove that it’s not an operating system problem?
I have the same problem on both my desktop and my laptop. Both are running Windows 7, 64 bit.
Photoshop CS-6, 64 bit only on both.

Kuler Klash error when trying to sign in to Kuler

I have tried for the past two days to sign in to Kuler and I keep getting the "Kuler Klash" error, so I am unable to sign in and download themes.

Hi, I believe this has to do with authentication
(reauthenticates for actions like save/publish), though it's odd
that you can log in, it's only on subsequent authentication. I will
log a bug, however, since Adobe is shutting down today through
January 2, further investigation will start in the New Year once
the various teams are back. Thank you all for bringing this to our
attention and for your patience!
In the meantime, please let us know if:
1. Have you EVER been able to save or publish?
2. Does this happen on other actions such as downloading?
3. Sometimes even though I get the kuler klash message,
things are still happening and I can still click on the interface
or refresh. Please describe what happens.
4. Is your Adobe ID an email address or not?
5. OS/browser (we always ask!)
I will be back on Jan 7 and can follow up then. Will try to
bring you more joy in the New Year. :-)

How do I use the Kuler API?

For more information on the Kuler APIs and guidelines for usage and application naming, see the Kuler
Update (5/30/13): We're working to rebuild the Kuler API to offer more robust capababilities. Until then, we're no longer issuing new API keys. If you already have a key and are using the API, your service will not be interupted (your key will continue to work).

Neha, thanks for your response.
However there are two issues that I don't think have been addressed that make the old API unusable:
1) URLs in the RSS feeds are not publicly accessible links. For example:
http://internal-prod-backend-1515523722.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com/index.cfm#themeID/5956 36
(Copied from https://kuler-api.adobe.com/rss/search.cfm?searchQuery=blue&key=mykey)
2) There are application errors on the thumbnail URLs. For example:
https://kuler-api.adobe.com/rss/png/generateThemePng.cfm?themeid=11&key=mykey
yields: "error on line 1 at column 1: Document is empty"

Can someone help me with a problem I have publishing photos to Facebook and Flickr

I am using LR4.4 on my HP laptop (Windows 7 Home premium) with Mozilla Firefox as my default browser. I was able to publish some photos from LR to my Facebook account early in October. I have some new photos to publish, but find I now can no longer publish to Facebook. I get a message – “Facebook authentication check failed”. I have tried to reset up publishing to Facebook within LR, but when I click on the Authorize in Facebook, I get a Firefox Error Message: “The address wasn't understood Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (lightroom) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context. You might need to install other software to open this address.” I have tried using IE as the default browser, but I get the following Internet Explorer Error Message: “The webpage cannot be displayed. Most Likely Cause: Some content or files on this webpage require a program that you don't have installed.” From the Adobe website (helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/errors-occur-using-lightrooms-publish.html) I have unsuccessfully tried all 5 solutions to resolve this issue.
Other steps I have tried - I have removed the LR app from Facebook, then attempted to Authorize from LR. I can get through 3 steps in Facebook (request for Public Profile, accept Posting to Facebook, and accept managing FB pages), but the final step again fails. In Lightroom, after the authentication step fails, I note that the “Failed to receive authentication token” is highlighted blue. When I click on this, a popup appears (see below). I had found a suggestion that this should be changed (I can’t recall what the alternative url was – but part of it was …”export.facebook”…) but I’m not sure where this change should be made. I attempted to paste the new link into this field, but this didn’t seem to work either.
I have also tried to set up publishing of photos to my Flickr account. I go to the LR setup, which directs me to my Flickr account, and click on the authorize button. But again I get the same error message! I am just about at the end of my knowledge / ability to solve my Publishing problem. I would really appreciate you help and advice with this issue. Can you please help me?

Flickr set up does not work

When I try to upload a photo to Flickr this message keeps appearing:
"Do you want to set up iphoto to publish to flickr?"
I have followed the set up process a dozen of times, but iPhoto keeps asking the same question. In Flickr I can see the permission to use iPhoto uploader, but iPhoto doesn't seem to recognize it.
I have searched all over the internet and cannot find a solution.

Exact same problem here.
Environment:
- iPhoto '09, running on Leopard 10.5.8.
- I did not have a Flickr account yet.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Clicked the "Flickr" button in iPhoto 09, received popup "Do you want to set up iPhoto to publish to Flickr".
2) Clicked "Set Up", got redirected to Yahoo Flickr in Safari.
2) Created my Yahoo account as prompted.
3) Clicked "Flickr" button in iPhoto 09 again. Got same popup, clicked "Set Up" again.
4) In the newly opened Safari window, entered my Yahoo credentials. When asked, confirmed that I wanted "iPhoto Uploader" to have full access to my Flickr albums.
5) Verified that iPhoto Uploader had indeed been added to the access list in Flickr using the link provided on the Flickr webpage.
Actual result:
* Popup disappears from iPhoto, but immediately re-appears asking for same "Set Up" procedure.
I followed this endless loop about 5 times, each time entering my Yahoo credentials, each time verifying that iPhoto Uploader had been granted access to Flickr.
Conclusion:
* iPhoto 09 has high-severity bug, Flickr functionality does not work at all.
