Flickr rolls out new photo page design to all users

Flickr has rolled out a new design for the photo page, after testing and tweaking it since June 23 with 800,000 users as testers.

The most striking difference is that the default picture is 28% larger than before. Other features include:

• A new lightbox, that allows you to click on a photo or use the magnifying glass icon to browse through large photos on a dark background.
• Always there navigation buttons to navigate between photos.
• Navigate between the photostream, groups, and sets via the upgraded film strip on the photo sidebar.
• A new widget-like grouping of the “story” of the photo, with location, tags, author, etc all in one easy to find place.
• Licensing set by the author will be more visible in the new design.
• Favoriting is now more visible next to comments.
