Set up a Flickr, Facebook, or SmugMug account in Aperture

To share photos from your Aperture library with Flickr, Facebook, and SmugMug, you create
Flickr, Facebook and SmugMug albums. The first step in creating web albums is entering your
Flickr, Facebook, and SmugMug account details. You only have to do this once. After you enter
your account details, Aperture securely stores the information in the OS X user account’s secure
keychain. Then you can create as many Flickr, Facebook, and SmugMug albums as you wish
and publish the photos in the albums whenever you have an Internet connection. You can also
publish to multiple Flickr, Facebook, or SmugMug accounts.

Important:

You must have an Internet connection to share photos from your Aperture library

with Flickr, Facebook, or SmugMug.

The first time you publish to a web album, Aperture asks you to sign in to your Flickr, Facebook,
or SmugMug account.
