Flickr can be said to be a photo platform that many photographers like to use. In addition to the free 1TB storage space, photos will not be rewritten and uploaded in their original size, retaining the original details of the photos. These factors make many photographers very happy. I like it. But on Flickr, just downloading is very troublesome. In addition to the order of the files you package and download, sometimes the order of the files you package and download may be messy. Sometimes even if you want to download and keep other people’s photos, you have to click them one by one. It is really troublesome to open and download the original size, but now, some expert netizens have written a set of Flickr Downloader batch downloader to facilitate users to download photos on Flickr.
Flickr Downloader Batch Downloader is a tool written and produced by netizen Weil Jimmer. To be honest, when I first saw the interface, I found that it really reminded me of the "Unknown Website Photo Downloader WretchXD" many years ago. The interface is simple and plain, but the functions are extremely powerful:
In this downloader, users can paste the Flickr photo URL in the main window and switch the type according to your URL type After that, click Download to start downloading. Doesn’t it sound very simple:
In fact, it is not. The first thing is the hook between "Website" and "Category" Select, you must correspond correctly to successfully use the download function, otherwise the judgment will fail no matter what. In the category part, the functions are actually very diverse:
If the URL type and selection you posted If the category does not correspond, an error message will appear in the information block in the lower left corner of the software, telling you that the URL is invalid. At this time, please recheck the URL status:
If true If you can't figure out the type of URL, you can move your mouse over each category and pause, and the types of URLs supported by each category will appear here:
If you really can't see it Yes, the most common situations are the two functions of downloading "all photos in a single album" and "downloading most of the albums in the account". Let me briefly explain here. If you only want to download the photos in a single album, just copy them directly. Go to the photo album's URL on Flickr, and then click "Single or Multiple Albums" to download the photo album directly:
↑When you click to download, various progress bars will start running below, which is very Obviously.
If there are many backup photos in this account that you want to download, paste the URL you copied into the program, and then click "Manually select one or more photos from multiple artists" Album", this subprogram will list all the photo albums in his account, and you can directly select the photo album you want to download:
↑The downloaded photos will be downloaded according to the data Arrange them in the form of folders.
It is also worth mentioning that although before you upload, the file names of all your photos are automatically named by the camera according to the order of shooting (if you do not specify (if modified). But when you upload to Flickr, the system will give you the ID of the photo according to the progress of your upload. This will cause a strange phenomenon, that is, you can see the photo's "original file name" on the Flickr web page. ", but after downloading through Flickr's download function, the file name changes to the ID given by Flickr. This will cause the photos to be downloaded out of order, which is quite distressing sometimes:
↑This is the situation downloaded from Flickr. If I remember correctly, it should be named in the Unix time format, so the number of files uploaded at the same time will be close, but the naming rules cannot be seen.
At this time, the Flickr Downloader batch downloader comes on the scene. In the file name settings of the options, you can select "Name it according to the original photo title", so that the downloaded photos will be named according to the file name you originally uploaded. to download, so that after downloading, you will not see the photos in chronological order:
↑This is the situation when the photos are downloaded according to the original photo file names, at least you can still see the original Regularity.
Of course, you can also choose the "file name + ID" naming function through the renaming function of the downloader. In short, the functions are very diverse, you can explore by yourself to see how to use it:
In addition, if you want to reduce the burden on the program and the computer performance occupied during downloading, you can choose to cancel the "Preview each downloaded photo" function in the options, so that when downloading , in the preview in the lower right corner, pictures will not appear to occupy performance:
A very considerate feature is the "Photo Size" in the options. Here you can directly choose to download the original size. In the past, if you wanted to download the original size photos, unless the other party gave you download permission, you could only slowly download them one by one. With this function, you can download the highest quality photos in one go. It is said to be very convenient:
Let’s talk about the function settings other than downloading. The editor found that this set of tools can also determine the color of the layout and the color of the text, which can be said to be very convenient. Convenient. For the editor, gray text on a black background is the most comfortable color scheme. You can also select "Settings" in the upper left corner of the program to match your favorite color scheme from the background color and text color:
Finally, I would like to thank my photographer friend Raven for being caught by me first and later as a demonstration for writing articles. Friends who are interested in Raven's works can go to his official Facebook fan group "loop in" the mirror" to watch.
