How to push your best pictures online using iPhoto and Flickr in less than 15 minutes

So there you are, the cab just dropped you at the house and you're already connecting your digital camera to your computer to get a quick additional shot at these amazing memories. Of course you want to share them on the fly, too!

Preparation:
  • get a free account at flickr.com
  • get the little flickr plugin for iPhoto - I use FlickrExport by Connected Flow, free and working great
  • load your pictures in iPhoto

Now here is what you just need to do:
  • rotate the pictures
  • rate the pictures, give some 3 and 4 stars to the best ones
  • sort your album by rating, highest rate first.
  • select the highest rated pictures, export them to flickr, voila!



Just bear in mind that the upload to Flickr is limited to 20Mb/mo in the free version. Pro version is a must once you're addicted.

Have fun, and share!
