More automating 
I was fed up by having to resize and then manually upload all images to flickr web interface by hand…
So I wrote the little script below, that calls the JFlickrUploader http://sourceforge.net/projects/jflickruploader
That script transforms images found in current dir! (use copies!):
flickrize.sh -family
by default images are reduced to 800×800.
#!/bin/bash
# http://sourceforge.net/projects/jflickruploader JFU=/usr/local/bin/jflickruploader-1.0-rc3/JFlickrUploader max_size=800x800 echo "Resizing images to $max_size maximum...." files=$(find . -maxdepth 1 -type f |grep -Ei 'jpg$|jpeg$|gif$|png$' |sort -r) for i in $files; do echo $i; mogrify -geometry $max_size "$i";done $JFU $* -files $files
Note that first time the script is used you’ll have to register the uploading tool to flickr. Follow instructions.
Enjoy!

Two comments, one: I guess it’s better if you add the -quality parameter to the mogrify command to avoid degrading ‘even more’ the JPEG (yes, quality matters), so the mogrify command would be:
mogrify -geometry $max_size -quality 85 “$i”
Two: it’s flickr, not fliskr
Nice article
