Zuzu, I did have to adjust the privacy settings to "public." I guess that happened after your visit.
Sue, I keep forgetting that even a pocket camera like the Lumix DMC ZS7 has 12 megapixels of info to upload. And that's too much. Not sure how ATP allocates upload resources. Perhaps one large photo-upload depletes one's allotment for some number of minutes.
One of the reasons for going to the trouble of making all these changes is that I recently changed computers and the new one uses Aperture to download photos from cameras and to manage and correct photos. Aperture also has a button for uploading and resizing photos to Flickr. This streamlines workflow for photo management. But it also is a new process to learn.
Cindi & Toni, thanks. We're close to peak on the iris season. Rose season is about to start!
