How to view, manage and upload images online with PhotoLikr
First you’re gonna have to open your image gallery. When starting up PhotoLikr for the first time, you’ll be asked to select a folder with your images:
Once you do that, you should see your images being loaded into the image browser where you can easily navigate through them, even open a fullscreen slide show. Images can be rated, notice the thumbs down and up at the bottom of the application screen. Based on this rating, they can be either deleted or moved to the favorites folder, so think of this more of a marker of which images to keep and which not.
If you want to upload photos, click on the Share button in the lower right corner, and from there select if you want to upload the entire collection, only one image or if you only want to upload images which you’ve given good ratings. After selecting one of these, you’ll be presented with a window where you’ll need to login to the selected service, select where to upload and click OK, your images should be online shorty after, depending on your connection speed, of course.
Conclusion
Large collections of photos are always a problem to manage. There’s always some of them which didn’t turn out looking good, and with the rating system, you can easily weed out images that you don’t want, and view and/or upload online those that you like. Download PhotoLikr free.
