Formatting Image Files for Flickr
Mon, 2007-07-09 22:53 — treyOK, I'll admit it... I'm a Flickr addict. One concern I've had, however, has been in posting my high-resolution images with full EXIF and IPTC tags. What I've ended up doing is processing my image files through a script that:
- rotates (if necessary), re-sizes (to max of 1024 pixels), and mildly sharpens the image
- adds a black border with the file name and copyright at the bottom
- adds a watermark
- adds a copyright to the metadata (EXIF)
- strips all (IPTC) keywords from the metadata
