    A comment on the idea "Allow downloading originals for only some contacts/some photos" in Flickr:

    Yes, the above is true for letting BOTH family and friends download your photos. But in the question I'm asking for specifically only ONE group - only friends OR only family, not both. Also, asking for letting only individual users download - not ALL friends and not ALL family – Tanya, on July 26, 2009 23:58

    Allow downloading originals for only some contacts/some photos
    Can I let ONLY friends or ONLY family download my original photo? How about creating a custom group where I select only certain users who can download my originals? And what if I want to allow downloading originals only for a specific photo?

    I've been using flickr for only a few months, and already had a need for these come up many times. For example, by default, I'd like to allow only for my family to download the originals, but not friends. Sometimes, I'd like to allow a certain friend to get some original photos I took of them at a party. It's frustrating because currently I'm forced to deny anyone this privilege due to flickr's current options (friends and family are grouped together, and there's no way to specify individual contacts). So currently, I'm forced to either email the requested photos out to people, or FTP them to my own server and let them download it from there because the photos are naturally large in size and not a lot can be emailed at a time.

    Please consider giving us the option to create custom groups of contacts and allow custom permissions per photo.

    Thanks!
