flump is a tiny Adobe AIR app. for downloading photos from Flickr.

You supply a Flickr ID (it could be your own or someone else's) and the tool will download all the public photos from that Flickr account to your hard drive.

flump downloads the original images but only if the Flickr account owner has set their account permissions to allow the original images to be downloaded.

The app was originally developed by Mike Chambers and Lee Brimelow of Adobe and the full source is now available on Google code.

On multiple occasions we have mentioned the fact that we use Flickr for our online storage and sharing solution. It's a great service that allows us to easily share our photos with family and friends, and we couldn't be happier with it. Sharing photos is one of those things that everybody tends to do more of lately simply because it is easy to do. Today we thought we'd throw this question out there for you guys to answer -- what's the best way you know of to share your photos? We're not talking about simply mentioning the service you use, rather we're asking for some of the services you use that allow you to get creative with photo sharing.

The reason we ask this is because recently we came across a site called Picsviewer that provides Flickr users with the opportunity to create some really neat slideshows that they can then share with others. All it takes is a few clicks and you're good to go. You don't even have to create an account with them to take advantage of what they offer, which is nice as well.

Today we'll be taking a look at Picsviewr, but we'd love to hear what kinds of services you've found out there that taking photo sharing to a whole new level, so be sure to hit us up in the comments.

Say you come across an interesting photograph or screenshot image on Wikipedia that you would like to save in your Flickr account. How would you do this ?

Shiyan has developed a simple Flickr Uploadr for Firefox that lets you send web pictures directly to your Flickr account without you having to download that image to the hard-drive.

Image attribution can be a issue here but it's also useful if you like to backup photos from places like Picasa, PhotoBucket, Facebook, etc to Flickr.

The add-in is Firefox only but there's something similar for desktop in the form of Flickr Uploadr (video version here).

This will adds a “Send to Flickr” command to the contextual menu and lets you upload desktop pictures to the web with a simple right click.
