I was going to upload a photo to Flickr

But I can't. Two weeks ago I uploaded Serif Photoplus as a replacement for
Photoshop which I lost when my last computer crashed. Despite my pleas to
Photoshop and providing my code they would not let me download it again and
it is horribly expensive to buy.
I also half uploaded Microsoft Office until it said Outlook Express would be
gone if I continued, so I backed out.

Now I cannot email photos (computer says I do not have a profile) and after
getting Serif I cannot send them to Flickr either.

Anyone know what to do? should I uninstall both?

You nearly got KFC looking into the chicken bucket, which I've promised Tak
for ages. But I can't do it.
I can bring up the photo but cannot post or email it.

You can upload photos to www.picturetrail.com or
https://picasaweb.google.com.

They are both free, although picturetrail has a limit. If you post over a
certain amount, they want something like $19.95 a year. The number of
pictures before you reach that point depends on the number of pixels used.

I use Picasa to upload my pictures. You have to create an account to use
it, of course. Then you can either install the Picasa Windows program
that will let you browse through your pictures and upload them right
from the program, or you can go to the Picasa website, login to your
account and upload the pictures from there. You can download the Picasa
Windows program he
http://picasa.google.com/

And if you want photo-editing software, you could try Gimp. It is free,
and it can do pretty much all the things that Photoshop can do. The
interface does take some getting used to, but there are tutorials online
that should help you do what you want to do. You can get the installer
for Gimp for Windows he
http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/

Can't help you with Outlook, I'm afraid. I use Thunderbird for my email
and newsgroups.

Photoshop Elements is cheaper but there's a free web based programme called Pixlr, which is more of less a Photoshop clone-it costs nothing to use and you don't even have to register

You shouldn't need a program like Photoshop to upload to Flickr. Flickr is
a web photo sharing service. I don't use it, but I'm sure they must allow
uploading photos via web browser, if you go to their web site and log in.

Photoshop on the other hand, is a beast - among the most complex desktop
software I've used, and something I gladly leave to graphics professionals
and serious amateurs. It might have had some functionality that let you
upload images more easily, but it shouldn't be a prereqisite to share
photos.

Yes, you can. You do need to be able to find the .JPG file on your
own computer. Sign in to Flickr. On your Flickr web page is the word
"upload". Left-click on "upload". On the next page that appears click
on "choose photos and videos to upload". Use the window that opens to
locate the .JPG file on your computer. Click the "open" button in the
lower right hand corner of that window after you have selected the file.
The window will close and you will see a web page with your photo in it.
Click on "Upload 1 Photo" and be patient while those bits fly back
and forth. If you want to upload more than 1 phto at a time Flikr has
an app for that.

I looked up some information on Serif Photoplus. It appears that one
problem with the program is that it does not have a feature that would allow
you to upload to Flickr (or any other photo site). However, as William
Hamblen wrote, you could locate the folder where your photos are stored,
then upload directly from Flickr itself instead of from Serif.

Tak is right. I have a Flickr account and simply go to the
website, log in to my account and click the "Upload pictures" button.

It may be that Photoshop was "remembering" your Flickr account
login and password for you. If you don't recall what they were,
you could simply create a new account and start uploading there.

If you do want to do graphic manipulation as you could in
Photoshop, I second the recommendation for GIMP. I use it
regularly...don't use a lot of the features as I'm just not that
graphically talented :-), but I do like it for the one I use
(cropping, reorienting, resizing, etc.)

Hope you get it all sorted soon, would love to see the piccies!

The problem seems to be that although I can find the pic I want in "my
photos" by its name, once I have to choose where the pic is when I get to
Flickr it says it cannot find it.
