Lightroom is great. You can directly upload your photos to flickr and do lots more fun stuff. Everytime I upload now it inputs what you see above (the metadata and the link to see it large on black). You can set a whole array of other things automatically too.

 

How to do this (I just learned this from my good friend Jon)

 

How to you do it?

 

1. Get Lightroom. This is tedious and can be expensive, but it is totally worth it. Lightroom does basic editing, but where it really excels is in managing your work flow. It is far superior to DPP (Canon's software that comes with its dSLRs) that I previously used. It is not as intimidating to learn as Photoshop.

 

2. Get this excellent plugin that allows you to export pictures directly from Lightroom to your Flickr account.

3. Modify the 'description preset' in the plugin (scroll about half way down) by entering the first tag on the left

 

{could not figure out how to post HTML here without it becoming HTML if anyone follows my drift}

 

Just copy and paste it.

 

Select "description treated as:' to be HTML.

 

4. You may have to authenticate Bighugelabs (i.e. give them access to your account) for the 'see large on black' link to work.

 

5. Done
