My apologies for taking so long to respond, but do appreciate the suggestions. I didn't realize was exporting full-size images. My settings have resize to 1000H X 1000W pixels at 240 pixels per inch. I'll give some thought to whether I want to continue doing that. Probably not. A hesitation concerns setting the H/W ratio. Is there a way to get LR to do that? > I also noticed that your images are noisy (based on your PESO image > 20130916-IMGP6886 at 2008x3008).

I'm aware of the noise, especially, as is often the case, especially indoors, when I've used high ISO. I've rarely done more than the simple editing provided under Quick Develop in the Library module. Time venture out and learn to do something new. I'll start experimenting with the settings under Detail/Noise Reduction in the Develop module. > After that, well if you can't make the uploads any faster, then at > least make them more convenient -- make them run in the background. > Since you're using Lightroom, you should configure the builtin Flickr > Exporter (uploader).

Once I get the hang of it I can see it will be more convenient. I see how to resize, but not compress or set the color space. The options under file settings are greyed-out and do not include setting the color space. > Hope that helps, Eric. It will take some practice, but it certainly does.
