Flickr Alternatives

[Yeats]

It looks like if you use the free Picasaweb, image link sizes are restricted to 800 px.

All my images have been via Photobucket (Free)

I have a photobucket account which I mostly use to link to images of things I am selling on eBay. I noticed that if I ever uploaded an image greater than 1024px it was downsized to 1024px and became noticeably soft when linked to a forum.

 

[ReD]

I've heard complaints about Flickr on that score

when I resize I've noted 800 are softer before loading

Yeah, that's why I began to use Flickr in the first place... but I'm going to give Photobucket another go.

What happens with Flickr is that, depending on the size of the uploaded original, it applies too much sharpening. Photobucket, OTOH, applies too little IMO when downsampling to 1024.

I'd moved to ipernity. Their ability to store and download psd and dng file is just amazing.

Hm. I am staying with Flickr for now.

But the new design confuses me, maybe it will get better after some time of use.

I'm sticking with Flickr too. Other than the slideshow not working for me, it still does everything I need from it. At least, as far as I can tell. I didn't love the way the old flickr displayed images and I don't love the way it is now but I don't hate it. Sorry to read some of my contacts are leaving Flickr though.

right now, I am not really that impressed with the alternatives, so in spite of not liking the changes, now I have learned to drive it a bit better, I'm staying put.

I'm with Smugmug and I'm a very happy camper, been there for years and years.

I'm with Gary, quite happy with Smugmug. Change is hard, but once you make the decision to pay for online storage/presentation. You can't do much better than Smugmug.

Smugmug, Zenfolio, etc are all great, but they are different than Flickr. They don't have the community aspect or the easy ability to discover great photos, artworks, whatnot.

 

[pdh]

Hmm I'm not sure I find it so easy to find great photos now , but I agree about the community.

I can host my photos anywhere, I even already own a couple of domains with some hosting space ... But there's noone to talk to!

But I have some hopes for iperniTy developing that way.

I just wish my phone could remember how to spell it ...

And that is why I am here ... for the community.

I dumped Flickr. I just can't stand going there and feeling like a hopped-up baboon is throwing buckets of paint at me.
