Hello everyone I have a very simple workflow requirement, and I wonder whether any of you can help me. I have all my family photos on my Mac, organised in folders by year and then by quarter (I ditched iPhoto years ago and have decided I didn't want to be locked into a database anymore). Every so often I like to a photo printing session. The last time I did this I did it with Mylio.
Mylio allowed me to tag photos on the computer or on my phone, view all these tagged photos, then copy all these photos to a separate folder (for uploading or USB sticking). Unfortunately, Mylio has changed slightly.
Photo Gallery, included in Windows Essentials 2012, is an essential pack of photo editing & management tools. This free software brings more power and allows importing photos from cameras and other devices, tagging and searching images, creating & viewing slideshows and a lot more. With the addition of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to their offering, Adobe have brought their A game to the battle for the best photo management software. With some very good image adjustment tools and support for a wide variety of cameras and photo formats, Lightroom is a great choice. Photo management tool. Discussion in 'Digital Photography' started by Christoffee, Jan 30, 2018. I have all my family photos on my Mac, organised in folders by year and then by quarter (I ditched iPhoto years ago and have decided I didn't want to be locked into a database anymore). It does not have photo management functionality yet.
It now exports them, which results in bigger files (typically about 3x as big) or I need to start reducing quality. There is no 'original' export. Is there any software out there that will do this for me? It looks like ACDSee and Picktorial will do this, but they don't have iOS apps. I am happy to pay for an app, particularly if it has facial recognition and a good search facility, but not subscribe. I'm not sure what the issue is with Mylio and how that relates to the tagging. In Mylio you can watch local folders, so that the originals are always there and hence no need to export them at all.
Of course a synched image might be just a preview, with the original on another device. If you've already keyworded the images, you can use just the Finder/Spotlight to find images by keyword. You might have to use the 'other' to add a keyword search, but assuming the keywords are in the images (like with JPEGs) Spotlight indexes them. Add 'kind' is image, and you've got your images to do with what you wish.
The problem is you can't enter the keywords. Look at Xnview MP. It's a freebie that works well with both flat and hierarchical keywords. Or download Lightroom and just never pay the subscription fee; it'll work even after the trial period for keywording. I'm not sure what the issue is with Mylio and how that relates to the tagging.
