![]() Once your pictures are inside, you can only get them out piece meal. I’m no photo snob, but I also don’t like losing information. Instead, Everpix stores compressed versions. You can’t edit pictures within the apps.The package is expensive ($4.99/month) if you want them to store more than the previous year’s worth of photos, and I’d be happy to pay if it weren’t for the downsides: In fact, I have Everpix configured to email me “random” “reminder” pictures from my collection everyday and it’s a lot of fun. I tend to take several pictures of the same thing but never delete the bad ones–Everpix does a decent job picking the good ones and showing you those first. Since I always plan to do more manual organization than I actually do, it’s nice that this is done for me. They don’t allow you to create albums or tag photos but instead rely on “science” to organize your photos for you.They have a terrific web app that works well on Mac and Windows.That’s nice, but not terribly useful for me since I’m not exactly tied into the social network world. They automatically import photos from lots of places you might care about including your photo roll, Facebook, Instagram, and Flickr.It also stores all your photos in the cloud and has terrific iOS apps for browsing your collection, but it differentiates itself in three ways: EverpixĪfter my experience with Revel, I was cautiously optimistic about Everpix. That means she can only browse our library on her phone and that’s a show stopper. Second, my wife lives in a Windows world and Revel doesn’t provide a Windows app or even a web app. With two little kids, we take lots of these “long photos” and I like having them mixed in with the traditional photos. First, it won’t store video clips and that means I need an entirely different workflow for them. Unfortunately, it’s missing some important features. The service is expensive ($5.99/month) but it promises a lot. The apps are (supposedly) built on top of the same editing/browsing engine powering LightRoom and they are (actually) very well done. Pictures are streamed to your iOS devices as needed freeing up a whole lot of space. The service stores all your pictures in the cloud, and they give you free iOS and Mac apps to edit and manage them. I was super-excited when I heard about Adobe Revel. ![]() One is Adobe Revel and the other is Everpix. Today the journey starts with two separate app/service combos. In the next few weeks, I’ll be looking at several products and hopefully finding answers. In 2013, I don’t think that’s unreasonable to ask for. From there we should be able to browse, organize, edit, and share them from any of our device, be they Macs, PC’s, iPads, or iPhones. Ideally, all our pictures would be automatically whisked away into a shared database in the cloud as soon as they are taken. In my household, we take most of our photos with our phones, but we also have a big digital SLR which we break out for big events (if we remember to). They didn’t last summer in iOS 6 and I have no faith that they will in iOS 7. I’ve complained about this before, but I’m tired of waiting for Apple to hand me a gift-wrapped solution. Want a photo management system that requires minimum maintenance and gives me maximum flexibility. I am frustrated and I know I’m not the only one. ![]()
