PhotoShelter has added a Flickr Import Tool to its online archiving and
e-commerce service for photographers. The new feature allows PhotoShelter
account holders who also use the Flickr photo sharing site to import images to
their PhotoShelter Personal Archive from a Flickr Pro account and to export
photos from PhotoShelter to any level of Flickr account.
Images can be imported with the tool in sets and exported singly or in batches,
and retain IPTC metadata such as tags and keywords when copied between the
sites. Being able to migrate images easily between the two sites allows
photographers to take advantage of both the rich sharing and community features
available on Flickr and the photo marketing, royalty-free and rights-managed
sales, and secure archiving tools provided by PhotoShelter. To copy images to
the PhotoShelter database, account holders log into their PhotoShelter Personal
Archive, select images to transfer, and then select "Import from Flickr" from a
pull down menu.
