PhotoShelter Launches Flickr Import Tool

04/03/08

PhotoShelter has added a Flickr Import Tool to its online archiving and e-commerce service for photographers. The new feature allows PhotoShelter account holders who also use the Flickr photo sharing site to import images to their PhotoShelter Personal Archive from a Flickr Pro account and to export photos from PhotoShelter to any level of Flickr account.

Images can be imported with the tool in sets and exported singly or in batches, and retain IPTC metadata such as tags and keywords when copied between the sites. Being able to migrate images easily between the two sites allows photographers to take advantage of both the rich sharing and community features available on Flickr and the photo marketing, royalty-free and rights-managed sales, and secure archiving tools provided by PhotoShelter. To copy images to the PhotoShelter database, account holders log into their PhotoShelter Personal Archive, select images to transfer, and then select "Import from Flickr" from a pull down menu.

Photo Quote: What I mean by objectivity is not the objectivity of a machine, but of a sensible human being with the mystery of personal selection at the heart of it. The second challenge has been to impose order onto the things seen and to supply the visual context and the intellectual framework - that to me is the art of photography. - Berenice Abbott American Photographer, 1898-1991
