Authorizing ACDSee with Flickr

Before you can upload to Flickr, you need to authorize ACDSee with the Flickr website.

You can authorize and upload your first set of pictures at the same time.

(The following procedure assumes that you already have a Flickr account. If you do not have an account, see Creating a Flickr account.)

To Authorize the Uploader:

  1. In Manage mode, in the File List pane, select the images you want to upload.
  2. Click File | Send | Upload to.  
  3. In the Upload Manager dialog, select Flickr, and then click Next.
  4. Click Remember me if you want this computer to keep a record of your authorization.
  5. In the Flickr Uploader dialog, click Authorize.

    The Flickr website opens.

  6. Enter your Yahoo ID and password and click Sign In.

    7. A message on a yellow background tells you that the uploader wants to link to your Flickr account.

  7. Click the Ok, I'll Allow it button.

    8. A message tells you that you have authorized the ACDSee Flickr Uploader.

  8. Close the web page by clicking the red X in the top right-hand corner.

    9. Behind the web page is a small dialog.

  9. Click Continue to begin uploading the photos you selected.

    10. The ACDSee Flickr Uploader Settings dialog opens. You can adjust the settings to resize your photos, select where you would like the title, description, and tags, for each photo to come from, as well as privacy, safety, and content type. (See Editing default settings for details.)

  10. Adjust the settings and click Save Settings.
  11. You can type in and add the tags for this set of photos.
  12. When you are ready, click Next and then Upload now!.
