New Features on Flickr...

[zebulus]

Anyone else notice the new features on flickr? The "people in photos" deal and also on your profile page it now shows your fav's. Kinda neat.

Any thoughts?

Just noticed. The fav's on your profile is pretty nifty! What's this about people in photo's? Is it like tagging people on FB?

.........and it links directly to Lightroom 3.0. You might need Flickr Pro for that.

Lets say you take a picture and someone that you know that is on flickr is in the picture. You can tag the picture as featruing that person, and then draw a box on their face, kinda like a note, but the link in the box links back to their photostream.

Its kinda cool.

So in your home page, you now have photos FROM your contacts, and photos OF your contacts.

New stuff for flickr and Lightroom.......

(F)lickr users now have direct access to their accounts from within Lightroom and can drag and drop images directly into their Photostreams. Flickr Pro account users can automatically synch their images and even view comments made on Flickr directly within the Library.
