Flickr sign up
Joining Flickr cannot be any simpler. You can create an account or directly connect with your Facebook or Google account. Once you have signed up, you can browse through other photographs and create your own albums and galleries.
Features
1. Customization: Flickr allows customizing your photographs. After the masterclass with Photoshop, you can learn your finishing touches with Flickr.
2. Sharing: It is an online community to share your work with others. You can comment and like photos whereas you can also download photos.
3. Preservation of Rights: One of the best things of Flickr is that all the rights of a photographer are reserved. Nobody can simply download your photo and claim it as their own. Flick encourages introducing a logo for every photographer to preserve their rights.
4. Size: Another feature introduced is the availability of the same image in different sizes. You can get the ideal size for your cover or for a thumbnail, or even the larger version for a screen saver. The days of resizing seems to be gone!
5. Space: That is indeed the best feature of the website. Flickr offers 1000 GB (yes, you read that right!) storage space for every individual sign up. Generally, that is an immense amount of space to cover. For those large photographs with ultramodern cameras, the disk space often appears to be scarce. Moreover, you no longer need to burden your device with large images, let Flickr keep them safe.
6. Platform Availability: Flickr is available in android, windows, Mac, Linux and other platforms. You can upload photos from any device. Moreover, to view and debate the comments of others on photographs is a huge addiction.
7. Inspiration: For those of us who are a disgrace to a camera and who can barely take a decent picture no matter how amazing the features are, we Flickr for inspiration. Yes, the images are nothing short of motivating.
