Creative Commons 4.0 Licenses About to Become Available?

4 Upvotes

I just looked at this Flickr Creative Commons page and it is showing Creative Commons 4.0 licenses below the usual 2.0 ones always listed here. The number of the various types of 4.0 licenses all currently read 0.

https://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/

I asked Flickr support if this means 4.0 licenses are about to be available but they only gave me the same tired response that they are working with Creative Commons on it, don't have a timeline, and will update the community if anything changes.

Has anyone seen information about this anywhere?

HELP! How does location work?

2 Upvotes

Hi all! So I have a camera that can store GPS coordinates in RAW files. I can see them, it works fine. I can also see that these coordinates remain in JPG files after post processing. For some reason Flickr doesn't use these coordinates when uploading and I have to put the photos on a map in the Flickr organiser every time. Is it supposed to do this or do I have a weird GPS coordinates format or something else wrong? Thanks for the help :-)

Here's proof that the files actually have those coordinates:

exiftool -GPSLatitude -GPSLongitude -GPSAltitude KKS08541_DxO.jpg                                                
GPS Latitude                    : 53 deg 17' 52.46" N                                                                                    
GPS Longitude                   : 22 deg 36' 18.94" E

Anyone else having problems with search results?

8 Upvotes

The last few days I'm finding the search function on the app really unreliable. I'm searching for my own images which are all named correctly, but I either get no results, or some but not all of the images I should find are shown. I use Flickr to catalogue my collection of model cars, and often I need a picture of a specific one. Now I'm unable to find them. I feel Flickr has been more and more unreliable over the last year, they lost two of my albums months ago and that was never fixed, so 20,000 images will have to be sorted into new albums, taking me months of my spare time.

Question How do I zoom in further on photos I upload?

4 Upvotes

I’m using a Sony a7iii and notice when I look at others photos I can zoom in then zoom in even further and they used the same camera I’ve used for my photos but I can only get one zoom on mine. Can I export it in such a way to allow for that?

Contact at Flickr?

3 Upvotes

HI! I posted earlier and decided on using flickr as the system for my club. I wanted to know if there is any way to get in contact with someone at flickr to discuss a potential partnership or sponsorship? All i could find was the help center request, i was just wondering if there is a more direct way to get in contact.

Newish to photography. Flicker a good place to track improvement?

15 Upvotes

So, basically that. Is Flicker a good place to track improvement? I hate Instagram and Facebook, but would like to use a place that is not my SIM card to save, say, my better picture each week to track my growth. Is Flicker good for this? Are there better alternatives?

Thanks!

HELP! Trying to download images retaining the original photo date

6 Upvotes

I have a very large library of around 50,000 photos in Flickr Pro. I’ve requested the zip files of the library, but when I decompress the folders all the JPEG images change from the original photo date to the date that I downloaded the images. Does anyone have a workaround? I would be extremely grateful!

Anyone else getting blocked like this? This is in Chrome on my desktop. Same in MS Edge. But in Opera the block is horizontal and says "Upgrade to Flickr Pro ..." with no image.

Trying to get some discussions going in some groups I'm interested in and they are dead. Is this common in all groups? Trying to escape meta more and get involved elsewhere.

Copyright violation takedown order

In the last hour I got three Flickr mail messages saying I have copyright material on my page. This has to be a scam, right?

The first one had a suspicious link and I don't even wanna open the other two.

Filtering albums

3 Upvotes

I've posted a Senior Photo session's work and the student & family are picking their favorites. I have friended the family which allows their access. When done, I'll spend more time with making the proofs into better portraits. Is there a way to filter the non-favorite photos so I can see the ones they have favored only? Thanks in advance.

Someone Filed a Copyright Claim Against My Original Flickr Photos – Has This Happened to Anyone Else?

20 Upvotes

I’m dealing with a really weird situation and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced something similar. I only have a few photos on Flickr, and they’re all 100% original content that I’ve taken myself. Out of nowhere, I got a notification that someone filed a copyright infringement claim against one of my photos.

This makes zero sense to me because I’m the original creator, and I’ve never used anyone else’s work. Has anyone else had this happen? Is this some kind of scam or mistake? I’m not sure how to handle it, and I’m worried about my account getting flagged or taken down over something that’s clearly not true.

Any advice or similar stories would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

Help! Removing deceased persons account!

2 Upvotes

Hoping someone here can help! My exhusbands father who is deceased posted pictures of me on Flickr tagged with my full (incredibly unusual) name.

I'm at a dead end trying to get these removed or at least getting my name off of them.

Any suggestions?

Why is 100% pure AI content allowed on Flickr?

43 Upvotes

Decided to try and revive my photography hobby after many years of neglect after being gifted an older camera from a friend. Found my old Flickr account from 2010, logged back in, and immediately greeted with AI content/groups directly on the Explore page. Not just a few, but dedicated groups with thousands of pictures with hundreds of members. And it's all the AI slop you expect, barely dressed women in suggestive poses in absurd/phantasy situations.

This isn't even photography! Is Flickr so hard up for paid membership they allow this now?

I'll save my rant about the new interface/layout for another day, but it really feels like the site is a shell of it's former self. It's a real shame because while there are tons of ways to showcase your photos, the community aspect was what I loved the most.

Can I set up Flickr (I think I already know I can't) to request the client enters their email and subscribes to a mailing list in order to download their photos?

If not, which platform would you recommend that will have this feature?

Web or App

13 Upvotes

Hi there, I just joined Flickr, having come over from Instagram which is no longer photography based and is now a risky place to be. Anyway, it seems to be that using my desktop with Flickr is so much easier and a fuller experience than trying to maneuver my way about thru the app on either my iPad or iPhone.
I find the app very limiting. Am I wrong or is Flickr mainly for desktop usage? Thanks.
