There are now so many applications out there which allow you to upload images to the online photo sharing site Flickr, it’s difficult to choose which one to use.
My personal favourite, Flickr Uploadr is a nice, simple application which let’s me do everything I want to with my images before an upload. Such as title them tag them, add them to groups, batch tag, and more.
My only grip about Flickr Uploadr is it’s still not a Universal Binary application, which is an annoyance for me running it on my Intel iMac or MacBook. Sure, it’s still fast, but not optimum.
Gleam is a new application who has entered the “Flickr” market. It’s main feature would have to be it’s visual appeal, and the fact it’s Universal.
When you open Gleam, you are presented with a clean window like this.
Click Add Photos and make your selection of what you would like to upload to Flickr.
Once you’ve selected which images you would like to upload, click “Toggle Details View” and add your tags in for each image. One extra tagging feature I would like to see implemented here is “Add to group”. It’s a minor annoyance still having to do this browser side after the upload, especially when similar applications (Flickr Uploadr) already have this option.
Finished tagging? Hit upload and you will get a nice visual representation of the images you are uploading to your photostream.
