Aperture 3 link to Flickr

[AxisOfBeagles]

I've experienced some recent problems with Flickr-hosted images that I have linked to posts in this forum. Sometimes people can see them, sometimes they can not. I THINK I have identified the likely problem - and am interested to find out of anyone else is experiencing this;

I use Aperture 3 (OSX 10.6.6), and have been linking photos directly to Flickr from within Aperture 3. I was aware that if I edited that photo within Aperture that it would automatically update that photo on Flickr and that the link would change. So I was of course not making any edits to those photos that I was posting here.

HOWEVER ... I have toyed with this thing and it appears to me that if I edit other photos in the same project that are also linked to Flickr, that ALL the photos get updated and the link url changes for all. The result being a broken link in my post here.

I have tried to solve this by going back to exporting out of Aperture and then uploading using the Flickr uploader tool.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar with auto-uploads from within Aperture?

Old thread but I could use some help here.

I have Aperture 3.1.3, running OSx10.6.8, my wife just came back from 3 days camping with her girl scouts and uploaded from Aperture 3 to flickr 77 photos basically as is. Used the flickr upload within Aperture.
They were shot RAW....she does not know PP at all.

I decided to do some quick edits on 25-30 of them, crop/exposure/etc, improved some of the decent shots.
Hit the broadcast icon next to the album name, it said "syncing", and I expected the edits to show up.

None did....

I even tested by adding the word "crop" after the image name in the meta data, that passed into the flickr picture but the photo edits did not.

What am I doing wrong??

ok - found the answer - you need a Flickr Pro membership for Aperture to sync new edits to photos that have already been uploaded to Flickr....
$25/year....yea its all about that yearly cash revenue stream in the end, everyone wants it.

“Another benefit would be if you would make more edits to your photo later, you don’t have to re-upload the photo. You just need to resynchronize the photo and it will update on Flickr.”

Does this imply that you are able to make new edits to the image itself after it has already been uploaded to Flickr and have them reflected as an updated image in your photostream?

I have been trying to update a few photos in my photostream that I previously synchronized via Aperture’s Flickr uploader, but the only thing that seems to get updated is the metadata.

Any suggestions how I might be able to have image edits reflected without having to re-upload the photo (and lose all comments and views in the process)?

I solved the problem. Apparently a Flickr Pro membership is required for Aperture sync new edits to photos that have already been uploaded to Flickr.
