LR4 - No Flickr export?

I can't seem to find a way to export to Flickr - is this supported in LR4?
Running on OS X Lion
Plugin Manager shows the Flickr plugin as "installed and running'. The status is enabled.
When i click on "Export" in the Library section, I get the Export dialogue. At the top is the "Export to" drop down. The items in the drop down are "Email, Hard Drive, and DVD. and Adobe Revel", but there's nothing about Flickr (or Facebook).
Anyone else seeing this?

You do not "Export to Flickr". The Flickr plug-in is one of the Publish Services (bottom of the left-hand panel in the Library Module).....once enabled you create your various 'photosets' (which correspond to 'sets' in Flickr) and when you hit the Publish button the plug-in takes care of the uploading.

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.
Flickr: The Help Forum: Flickr Export Module always asking for authentication in Bridge CS5
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.

Any Flickr Export plugin available for Aperture 3?

I was happy to see Flickr included in Aperture 3, but to say the least, it really *****.
The worst thing is that it applies my own keywords to all the uploaded images. I don't want the (full) names of peoples in my pictures to display at Flickr and having my local-language keywords on my images probably doesn't help Flickr where most users are speaking english (compared to my local language).
Basically I wish the Flickr export feature would allow me to either "not sync keywords" or modify my keywords to determine if I want them exported or not - like Lightroom does.

Thanks for the warning Martin. I already know from iPhoto's flickr export that you gotta be careful. I guess the iPhoto/Aperture flickr export is great for those wanting REAL simplicity, but if you want to adjust just one or two settings, it's a no-go and it kinda *****
I hope there's an AP3 flickr export plugin out there? I would be willing to spend $10 on it.

Removal of Flickr Export after expiration

I have the Flickr Export plug in for Aperture 2.0. It's the trial version. How do I get rid of it after it has expired?

Delete it from you /Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins folder. It will be there or in your ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins folder.

Flickr export problem with iphoto 6

Hi, I been trying to uninstall flickr export but I can’t seem to do it. The program keeps locking up my macbook and crashing it. Because of this it is currently handicapped my iphoto 6 because I can’t export jpegs. When I go file export it loads automatically crashes it.

Hi Scott
It's tricky to find the plugin... try the following:
Go to iPhoto in your Applications folder (or whereever you have it) and click on it once.
Control (or Right) Click to get the contextual menu
Select 'Show Package Contents'
This opens a new window with a Folder called 'contents'
Click on this and find the folder called Plugins, open it and inside...
Search for the FlickrExport one and trash it.
Close the window and launch iPhoto
hope this helps
Regards

3.1: Flickr export settings - maximum export size

Hi,
as it seems, Aperture's (3.1) built in Flickr export/sync only exports pictures at a maximum file size of 1024*768.
Can this be changed somehow? I want my exports to be larger than than.
Thanks
Sascha

Since I don't use Flickr, I cannot test this, but is it possible that the function exports the Previews to Flickr galleries and not directly from the Versions, and the size you cite is the same as that you have selected for Previews?

Aperture 3 Flickr export versions

Hi, I have problem with flickr export in Aperture 3.0.2 when I'm trying to share album, or just one photo.
Firstly, when I'm trying to share some photos, just some of them are really published. For example 2 of 4.
Secondly, when I have more than 1 version of photo, it's always published other version (almost every time the second version).
Can this be fixed? Or I must wait to update?
PS.: sorry for my english

I think you will find that if pictures are part of a stack it will only upload the pick to iFlickr.
I use Flickrexport plugin to upload as it has more options. I get no problems but if I want to upload photos which are not the Pic of a stack then I unstack them.

LR3 Flickr export plugin. Is the export without ICC profile available?

Hey guys,
I want to use the new integrated Flickr export plugin in LR3 to publish my picture on my photostream.
Since I want my pictures to look the same accross all browsers I want to convert them to sRGB and I don't want to embed the ICC profile.
I haven't seen any option in LR3 that allows me to do so. I have to do it in photoshop (save for the webs without profile) and then import it manually using Flickr update webpage. In my opinion, it is kind of weird that Adobe didn't think about that. Is there an option somewhere, a workaround?
Thank you,
jean bapt

At the risk of raining on your parade...
I just opened the files again in CS4 and in Safari 4.0.5 and the all look the same, just as they did in Safari 5.0.
Safari 4.0.5 displays the files as I would expect, at least on my MacPro and MacBook Pro. You may have found a solution but I'm afraid you don't really know what the problem was.
Sorry, JB. Safari does know how to correctly display images.
Ah ah! You are not raining on my parade. From the comments on the page I have mentioned, it seems that not everybody has this issue. Could it be an issue with another Safari version (4.0.??). I don't remember exactly which version I had. Could it be a compatibility issue with some driver or ...?
Even though I am not sure what the problem was, don't you think I can assume that the problem was not with my files or my calibration?

Exporting from LR4 to Flickr with keywords?

How do I automatically export keywords with LR4 photos to Flickr?

Keywords will automatically export as tags to Flickr provided you havent set the Metadata section in the Publishing manager to Copyright or Copyright & Contact Info only.
Select All from the Metadata section.
To change existing settings:
From the Publish Services Panel click the + symbol and choose Edit Settings for your Flickr Publish stream. Scroll down to the Metadat section and make the change.

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.

Facebook & Flickr Export Problems

One of the new features of Aperture 3 I was excited about was the Facebook & Flickr integration. I had previously been using a free Flickr plug-in and exporting my Aperture images to iPhoto to make use of the Facebook integration.
After preparing a project with 26 adjusted/edited "keeper" images, I tried the Flickr upload button. It worked away and after a few minutes said that the process had completed. When I checked Flickr, only a portion (18 out of 26) of the images were displayed. I then clicked the "Publish" icon beside the album in Aperture, and instead of trying to re-add the missing photos to Flickr, it synced the album to Flickr and gave the Flickr images preference, thereby deleting the images that were not loaded on the initial upload. I have tried this several times and get various behaviours including a case where I got duplicate images in the Flickr set.
I tried the same thing with Facebook and had very similar problems. It does not load all of the selected images onto Facebook and a second sync then deletes the non-uploaded ones from Aperture. On another try, it loaded most (23 out of 26) of the images to Facebook, but instead of showing the images, just had empty "image not found" symbols.
Is anyone else having problems with Facebook and Flickr integration in Aperture 3?

I'll second the "stacks" issue...
I had the same issue as the OP, but once I removed stacks from the event that I was uploading from, all of my images made it into Facebook.....
HOWEVER.....a new issue turned up....for whatever reason, now my people/face tags don't make it into Facebook, even though it worked before removing the stacks. To make matters worse, if I manually tag the images in Facebook and re-synchronize A3, the people/face tags are removed on the Facebook size....I can't f-ing win.
So it looks like I have to select from the lesser of two evils:
1. If I want to preserve face-tagging, I have to be prepared for A3 to omit certain images
2. If I want all of my images to be exported to Facebook, I have to live with no face/people tags
....fanfuckingtastic.

Aperture and Flickr Export Problems - Missing Files

I have a MacPro, Aperture 3, and Flickr Pro account. I was planning on using Flickr as an online storage/back-up option for lower-res files. However, whenever I try to upload a project to Flickr files always seem to drop off.
For example, if I export a project with 446 files in it, when it gets to Flickr it'll say I only have 403 images. Likewise if I try a smaller project (e.g., 426 -> 404).
Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas what is the cause of this problem?
Also, any way to remove that 500 upload limit per project to Flickr? Flickr itself does not limit the number of photos you can store in a set.
Thanks!

Maybe it's related to this bug?

The difference in sharpness and overall contrast between LR5 and LR4 low res. export JPEGs

Installed the evaluation copy of the LR yesterday and as always compared with the previous version (4.4) of the program. The first and not very pleasant difference was the sharpness of the exported JPEGs in low resolution. In full resolution exports it is not that much noticeable. As you may see on the below photo LR4 export is noticeably sharper than LR5. All the export settings were the same in both versions. I used my saved export preset for both JPEGs. The LR5 exported JPEG is slightly lighter than the one in LR4.4. Both photos look the same in develop mode screen, so the difference is in export processing.
Would be great to know hear the experience, thoughts and comments of others about it.

I also hope that it'll be fixed soon.
Yeah, all other bugs in Lr5 I've been able to find acceptable workarounds for, but I'm not sure what to do about this one for the mean time - any ideas?
If no acceptable workaround can be found, then +1 vote: 5.0.1 in a hurry.

"Authorize" on Flickr export plugin doesn't open browser

I'm trying to authorize Lightroom to export to my Flickr account, but when I click "Authorize" nothing appears in my browser.
I am using Lightroom 4.1, and upgrading to 4.2 RC1 didn't resolve the issue. I've tried clearing my temporary files and re-installing Lightroom. I tried deleting my catalog and starting again. My default browser is currently Chrome, but when I make IE the default, I see the same behavior.
Any suggestions on getting Lightroom to show me the authorization dialog box so I can export to Flickr?

[Edit: skip down to my other reply to this thread. The problem was that the system clock and time zone were incorrect.]
I am experiencing the same symptom. In the Flickr Publish service configuration dialog, the Authorize button pops up a dialog that explains "Lightroom needs your permission to upload images to Flickr," but when I click that dialog's Authorize button, it appears to do nothing (no browser, no error message, etc.).
I am currently running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit and Lightroom 4.3 64-bit.
Here's a history of this problem.
I was using Windows Vista 64-bit with an updated Lightroom 3 (version 3.6?). I was publishing to Flickr using the built-in Flickr publish plugin. That worked flawlessly, and I never had a problem.
I then upgraded to Windows 8 Pro 64-bit. Unfortunately, I did not test Lightroom 3 at this point.
I then upgraded to Lightroom 4.3 64-bit.
After these upgrades, I tried to publish two photos to Flickr using my existing Flickr publish configuration. I believe that I got some error the first time, which I did not write down. I wasn't sure that the Flickr publish service would upgade correctly, and I did some searching online.
I'm familiar with the Flickr APIs, and I thought that after the upgrade, I probably needed to re-authorize the plug-in. I went to my Flickr account in my browser and revoked Lightroom's permissions. I may have also clicked "Remove Authorization" in the Flickr publish plugin's settings page. After that, I started hitting the problem described above. When I click the Authorize button, I never get a browser pop up.
I then tried a few things.
1) I verified the registry entries had the values described in this thrad: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3121076#3121076
2) I removed the old Flickr publish service that had been migrated from Lightroom 3.6.
3) I uninstalled Lightroom 3.6.
4) I ran the "repair installation" for Lightroom 4.
5) I ran lightroom.exe -register as the administrator.
6) I ran Lightroom 4 as the administrator.
Between each of those steps, I rebooted the machine. When the machine came back up, I opened Lightroom 4 and clicked the Flickr publish service's "Set up" button. I then when to the plugin manager and reloaded the Flickr plugin. Finally, I clicked "Authorize" in the Flickr plugin's settings. Every time, I get the same behavior. "Not authorized" in the settings dialog changes to "Authorizing..." while it shows me a dialog. I click the Authorize button in that dialog. I briefly see a different message in Flickr publish service settings page (Waiting for response...). Then it changes to "Not Authorized." I never see a browser or an error.
With each experiment, I tried with both IE and Firefox set as my default browser. I get the same behavior with both browsers.
I verified that running "start lightroom://www.flickr.com" from the Windows command prompt opens Lightroom 4.3. Therefore, I believe that the registry settings for the lightroom URL protocol are correct.
I have never used the Facebook publish service in the past, but I cilcked on the set up button for that plugin. When I click Authorize on Facebook, it launches my browser (or opens a new tab) for Facebook. Therefore, it looks like Lightroom plugins are able to launch the browser.
It seems like there's something wrong with the Flickr publish service plug-in itself. I'm not sure how to get any additional diagnostic information from the plugin. I'd be happy to try something else, but at this point, I'm out of ideas for troubleshooting.

LR4: Issues with "Export as Catalog"

I'm preparing my Windows LR 4.2 installation for a significant computer rebuild. Naturally I need to be able to 'save/restore' all my catalogs, some of which are not small. Having copies of his LR2 and LR4 books for Digital Photographers, I followed the technique recommended by Scott Kelby (which is also the subject of an FAQ on this forum). Aside from the assertation that it doesn't take long (for me, it did) the export of previews, database and negatives from all folders in each catalog, to a USB attached disk, worked ok. Except that...
1. In trying to understand why it was so slow I looked at the structure of the exported 'file' for my largest catalog on the external drive. It seemed to be a simple copy of the .lrdata set of many preview folders plus the .lrcat folder plus the original negatives in their original folder structure. Before attempting to prove this is the case, by repeating this process using Windows Explorer file utilties, I decided to compare the original files/folders with the copies that 'export as catalog' had made. I used 'Beyond Compare' for this (a product which, in my opinion, is exactly that: beyond compare). The results were very disconcerting:
1.1 Out of the hundreds of preview folders, in the .lrdata collection, there was not 1 single identical compare of combined folder and file in the copy. There were folders in the original which did not appear in the copy. Even worse, there were folders in the copy that did not appear in the original (explain that!). In those very few cases where there was a folder match, the enclosed .lrprev file did not match in either file name or file size. In other words the original and copy were completely different.
Is this as one should expect?
1.2 Overall the original .lrcat and .lrdata objects differed in size and date/time to the copy, with the originals being larger and dated/timed later than the copy, even though I had performed no library or development operation on the catalog, aside from closing it (which initated an automatic backup). What additional information has been added to the catalog after I copied it, and by whom?
2. On one catalog the export process repored that it could find no preview data for any of the photos, even though it shows them to me when I open the catalog. In addition, the original .lrdata folder is far larger than the exported copy of that folder - 599MB versus 3MB. So the preview data is definitely there in the originals. Why wasn't it exported?
Overall, the comparison using Beyond Compare suggests to me that a simple file copy of the catalogs and images should work - and it will certainly ensure that originals and copies are identical. Can this process be used to ensure that a valid catalog set will be produced for the subsequent 'restore' step?

Yes, you can simply copy the whole lot and it will function the same in the new location, provided the same image files (or equivalent copies thereof) are available to the Catalog at the same filepaths in both places. I believe the previews are found using a relative filepath starting from wherever the Catalog now finds itself. So the relative arrangement needs to be preserved. Or, if previews are not copied over, the Catalog still works fine, and will generate previews automatically as you go thereafter.
It may not be necessary to have Develop previews for every single image in the Library right at the start - remembering that previews for less recently edited images will have by default cleared themselves anyway, after a certain period.
If the image filepaths are going to be different in some systematic way - different drive letter, different folder location - then it is easy to update LR's internal records about that; for example, through a single operation on the parent folder, one can re-address an entire tree of subfolders and their contents at the same time.
As a database, one would expect a fresh copy written-out by Export to be optimised in terms of how the data is stored (disk block level) and also that it would be free of any accumulated redundancy (e.g., records and related indexing for items that are marked for deletion but still physically present). Perhaps this would be exactly the same as a database that had just been optimised by LR, perhaps not - the point of Export as Catalog is that this is NOT a whole-database operation, it is a SELECTIVE operation, based on whatever images have been highlighted. So the result is not necessarily ever going to be identical.
The previews folders are not intended to be human-readable, and can IMO be therefore thought of in the same functional terms - this effectively constitutes a second database. When previews are included in an Export, this is a second brand new structure being created, even if some of the data within that is a straight transfer.
