Aviary is now Flickr's default photo editor. (Click on Actions when you are looking at a Flickr photo.) Its image editor Phoenix, is a super-simple tool now designed to work with Google Drive
A new way of exploring the Flickr collections is commonsExplorer, from Creative Canberra. It is an experimental interactive browser for the Flickr Commons. It provides a "big picture" view of these collections - a rich, single screen interface that reveals structures and patterns and encourages exploration. It's a quickly downloaded browsing interface that gives you, and students, a more visual view of the collections and the images. You can scroll through the list of all the participating institutions, then either search through the tag cloud or window shop through the pop-ups for images.
Wylio is a little different from the other CC image portals. It's also perfect for bloggers and web publishers of all ages. It not only finds cool copyright-friendly images from Flickr's CC pool, it emphasizes a respect for intellectual property.
Flickr currently hosts more than 75 million images that are licensed under a Creative Commons license. Depending on the license, you may use the images on your webpage, or make changes to it. There are many things to check. With ImageCodr.org, there is no need to do all this manually, you simply enter in the URL of the picture page (as seen in your browser) you are interested in and ImageCodr.org will generate the ready to use HTML code. It will also display a brief and easy license summary, so you don't get in legal trouble because you missed something.
