Blackmagic is very easy to use. Paste: <a href="http://flickrhivemind.net/blackmagic">better view</a> into your photo description underneath any of the photos in your photostream. Adding it in a photo comment on your or other’s photos is also just fine. You can replace the " better view " with any text you would like shown for the link.

What you get: From any of your photo pages, an "On Black" style photo view view your pictures in medium or large size on black, grey, or white backgrounds. From your Flickr home page, you get a Flickr Hive Mind view of your photo stream. From there, clicking on any photo gets you the BlackMagic view. Strengths of BlackMagic BlackMagic uses something called "referer" information to figure out the picture you were looking at, so you don’t have to craft a new link for each picture. If you want to create custom links you can do so – there’s a custom link as well as example link text available on every BlackMagic page (follow the "more" link). Blackmagic is often faster than other tools that do this type of display, as it makes only a single, simple call to the Flickr API to do its work. Weaknesses of BlackMagic If you click on a BlackMagic link on a person’s home page, BlackMagic can’t figure out which of the the photos you were looking at. However there’s a solution: BlackMagic sends you to a custom view of all pictures on the user’s home page (via Flickr Hive Mind ), and then clicking on any of those pictures gives you a BlackMagic view (as mentioned above). Super-paranoid web browser settings shut off "referer" information BlackMagic can’t figure out which picture you are looking at. You can still use custom links, which will work on all browsers (as opposed to 99% of them). BlackMagic links generally do not work from emails or RSS feeds. Again, if you are concerned about this working then creating a custom link works in all cases. Updates: New March 2010 feature you can now specify the background color you want for any or all of your photos. Follow the example link

23 May: A bug that led to your default small/big black/grey settings not being used has been fixed. Let me know if I’ve broken anything! 23 May: the display has been made even more minimal! Click on "More" to see other options and links from Blackmagic pages. 22 May: Fiveprime.org was switched to new DNS Servers for what I hope to be added stability during the day. It seemed the old DNS servers were flaking out sporadically and were not sufficiently redundant.
