The current copy options are used when you click the copy button. Copy options are stored for each iPhoto Library/Flickr account pair, so if you change your current iPhoto library and/or your current Flickr account make sure to check your copy settings carefully before starting a copy. The different copy options are listed below:
Upload photo resizing:
This option controls if image files are resized before being uploaded to Flickr. Resizing is useful if you wish to speed up the uploading of images. When resizing, some image quality will be lost. How much depends on the resize setting you choose. The smaller the resize setting, the more image quality will be lost. If you are using PhotoCopy to have offsite backups of your images, remember that the resize size you choose will be the size that is backed up to Flickr. And if you lose your local copy of your images, the resized copies in Flickr will be all you have to restore your images from. The available image sizes are:
Off - the original images will be uploaded 800 pixels - images will be resized so that the longer side is 800 pixels 1280 pixels - images will be resized so that the longer side is 1280 pixels 1600 pixels - images will be resized so that the longer side is 1600 pixels 2048 pixels - images will be resized so that the longer side is 2048 pixels
Note: when using PhotoCopy in demo mode, watermarks will be added to every uploaded image. So even if this is set this to 'Off', uploaded images will be altered to include the watermark.
Do not upload movies:
This option contols whether or not movie files from your iPhoto library will be uploaded to Flickr. Movie files are typically much larger than image files, and take much longer to upload. Only pro Flickr accounts will accept movie files.
Note: when using PhotoCopy in demo mode, you will not be able to disable this option.
