Posting to flickr via lightroom. Advice please.

I'm exploring the possibility of using Lightroom to post my images to flickr. All works well so far. But...the images are placed into a separate collection, and if I remove an image from the collection then it is removed from flickr the next time I run the process.

That's fine, but what when I change machines? Say in a couple of years I replace this machine and install LR (not the Cloud version) onto my new machine how do I copy the whole collection over to prevent my images being wiped. There could be a sizeable number of images by then - too many for a manual operation to transfer over.

i could never get the colour profiles right, it always exported in adobe colourspace to flickr rather than srgb.

Wouldn't you transfer your lightroom catalogue anyway to keep your metadata changes, folders, etc

That's a good point. I never checked that. Will have another look.

Just checked that and there should be no problem. I normally upload JPEG files which I convert to sRGB at the end of my processing. Then upload to flickr , and if via LR it keeps the sRGB - or seems to from my quick test run.

Think I've sorted it after talking to Adobe, but it is so complicated that I'm not going to bother.
