saving pictures to my photos

When I find pictures from other posters in Photobucket, I can just click, 'Save to my photos' and their photo goes into my album. How can I do that here?

Here we call that "Favorites". Go to a photo you like, click the 1st button on the very left above the photo -- the Add to Faves button. This puts a link to the photo on your Favorites page.

... and then when you want to look at them again, you go to You -> Your Favorites: flickr.com/photos/me/favorites/

I want to use them.

I did that but I cannot send them anywhere, they do not have the http or not able to get sizes etc.

No, you can't use them - you need to ask the owner for permission first (unless the images are CC licenced).

If the owner has disabled "All Sizes" or "Blog This", it's precisely to stop people from using them...

Well, you can't just use other people's images without their permission, and you certainly cannot upload other people's images to your account:
www.flickr.com/guidelines.gne

If you want to "send" them via email to other people (send a link), you can use the Share This link, if it is enabled. That would be on the photo page in the upper right corner of the page, under the Search button.

How do you want to "use them"? If you tell us what you are trying to do, we can help you do it.

I am new here and I have been using 'Photobucket' a long time. That is a feature there, if the photo is public it is 'public', anyone can save any public picture to their own 'album' and use it as they want.

No problem, I can't and won't use any here.

My intention is just to post a flower picture on another site, that I use, because it was so beautiful..

If you have the person's permission to do that, you can use "blog this" on the person's photo, or the "share this" -> "embed it" option. If you don't have permission to share the photo itself, just post a link to the photo page, and invite people to go see the photo for themselves.

Permission?? How??
Posted 3 months ago. ( permalink )

Lú_  Pro User  says:

Two ways:

First, check the right-hand side of the photo page to see if the photo is "all rights reserved" or if there is a CC (Creative Commons) license. A CC license is a kind of permission, with its own conditions.

Or just ask!

Ask Flickr? Is there a place to send for permission?

zyrcster  Pro User  says:

Just send them (the user) a Flickrmail asking if you can use their image. Hover over their buddy icon, when you see the drop-down menu, click it and choose Send FlickrMail. Then ask.

As stated earlier, if the photo has a CC license on it, then you can use it without having to ask.

You don't ask Flickr, you ask the user who owns the photo.

Dr. Keats  Pro User  says:

On here, "public" just means that it can be seen (as opposed to "private", which can't be seen...). Using "public" does give rise to the idea that "public" means "freely available to use".

Lots of people have suggested that it be changed to "This photo is publicly visible", but it hasn't happened. Would take maybe 30 seconds to change the wording, and would save quite a bit of confusion...

I wonder if all Photobucket users are aware of how liberal the terms of use on that site are? (in contrast to Flickr)

So, you basically forfeit any copyright when you upload to Photobucket. Keen service, that.

Dr Keats, I agree. Public means Public on other sites so maybe Flickr should say that..

Patrick.. Yes and Yes. But I like my Photobucket account, as long as you keep it private and don't tag etc. No one can see, if they choose to post and tag that's when you can 'Use'.. So its up to the person, unless I'm mistaken in some way.

I don't send out any pics, so no one can see into my album. But if you do, your whole album is open to whom ever you send that pic too. Not just that pic. You have a passward and user anme, no one can get in unless you let them..So you have to be careful, all my pics are private anywhere I place them.

Thanks everyone, for your input. I like it here, friendly and the pictures are wonderful...

Just as long as you understand that "public" on Flickr just means publicly visible, you'll be fine. :)

Say what?

From Cambridge Dictionaries Online:

public (PEOPLE)
adjective
relating to or involving people in general, rather than being limited to a particular group of people


public (PLACE)
adjective
describes a place where a lot of people are


You see, the word "public" has other meanings than just "to be in the public domain". On Flickr, "public" means that the ability to view the photos is not limited to a particular group of people.

So saying "Public means Public" is very ambiguous (ambiguous: adjective: having or expressing more than one possible meaning, sometimes intentionally) thing to say and says absolutely nothing that could be understood in one simple way.

Thankfully I never used Photobucket in any way.
