Flickr: ORGANIZE

The Organizer is where both Collections and Sets are created. It also allows you to perform common tasks on large batches of photos, such as tagging, changing permissions, or editing timestamps etc.

Flickr: COLLECTIONS

• Collections are a grouping of Sets (or other Collections) so you can organize around grander themes, such as People, Trips, Events or by Month and Year.

Groups are a way for people to come together around a common interest or a topic.

If you can’t find a group which interests you, start your own. Groups can either be public, public (invite only), or completely

private. Every group has a pool for sharing photos and a discussion board for talking and conversation.

Privacy is a common area for concern on the web, but on Flickr it’s easy to control who you share your images with. For each of your photos on Flickr you can set:– privacy level, which determines who can see your image – usage license, so your copyrights are protected – content type, flag your photos as either photos,

artwork/illustrations, or screenshots – safety level, so other members only see images within their

specified comfort zones You can choose who can see your photos, add tags, notes, favs

and comments
