Pix & Editor Photo Manager of LR etc.?

I spent all my time to test recent editors of different photos - Raw processing, Lightroom, darktable, Capture One, Lightzone, Photoshop Elements, affinity, ACDC Mac Pro, DXO Optics 11 - on and on. Most of them is best editors (IMO) than pictures, but I prefer the ease of use and search for photo management. And since we now have two "extensions" and in particular the extension "External editors", I wonder why I should not simply use pictures for management and my 'catalogue' and some minor/quickie changes and exit to all others, I prefer to do more complex work.

I mean, what's wrong with this picture? Photos is pretty quick and easy, good import, has a few basic changes, and fantasy guys are always more or less available, either by extensions (or some of them) and by export and re - import (even if it work you on duplicates, I suppose).

Anyway, would love to hear from someone who has tried this or he tries now, how it worked, and what are the limits, what to watch out for, etc.

Thank you very much.

That's what I've done since publishing extensions became available.

My main reason to stick with Photos is iCloud photo library.  There is no other easy way to sync my library of Photos between multiple Macs.

I found that I must not fall back on the Photo editing spotted too often. I'm careful to take my pictures so they don't need much editingbeyond straighten the horizon lsightly, cropping, perhaps to correct the white balance and adjust the highlights and shadows. Everything that can be done in pictures.

I mainly use extensions or external for a correction of perspective editors, if it was not possible to take the picture with the correct perspective, for the smoothing of the skin and for touch-ups. I try to avoid extensions if mounting can be done in Photos, for two reasons:

  • Extensions create a new master file almost, like Aperture. Then they break up which edition.
  • And they are not yet as stable as I could wish. For example, extensions of affinity cannot edit some panoramic shots, they can reframe the edited section. And I often get an error message when I try to save the modified version - for affinity extensions and extensions site, for the most part, if I try to apply multiple extensions to the same photo.

  • There is a photo management tool/plugin?

    I still own LR. This is the feature of development is really superb. Much better than any tool PP, I have used in the past.

    A gap that I find with LR, however, is its photo management tool.  I used ACDSee Picture Manager, among other things, in the past, the management of photo in ACDSee was really good and intuitive. The following functions have been really practical in ACDSee that I find missing in LR.

    • Group (in addition to sorting) by almost any criteria - original date, day, month, camera, focal, etc..
    • Display a number any of attirbutes - camera, resolution, size, etc.
    • batch renaming practice
    • Travel and single copy

    As you can see, these are all file management functions. LR has these functions as well?

    If this isn't the case, maybe I'll have to use both tools after all - LR for development and ACDSee Photo Manager for managing files.

    Certainly, Lightroom is a photo management tool that compares well with ACDSee. There are probably advantages and disadvantages to each, but everything on your list is present in LR except display resolution (if by that you mean pixels per inch of the photo).

    1. Grouping, as this can be done through the bar filter or smart collections
    2. The metadata panel displays the attributes
    3. F2 rename batch
    4. Move photos is done via the Control Panel folder. LR does not copies, as the paradigm Lightroom does not make real copies. It includes no virtual copies. Of course, you can create copies via another tool, the file-> export. You can make copies in your operating system.

    But if you want LR to have the same flow of work/features/ease of use/etc, like ACDSee (or Bridge, Photoshop Elements or any other program), let's be honest, it's not. The programs work differently. You will need to learn the methods and mechanics of each program. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and LR has a lot of 'pros' for its photo management tools.

    Creative Memories Photo Manager probably ejected your camera after you import the images. Check the default settings and change them if you prefer something different.

    If your camera is not displayed as ejection, it is safe to remove it. Damage to the file system wouldn't be possible, but not certain, if he had written active file or buffer not released when the device has been deleted.

  • Photos Manager MS left printing photos

    Hi, I am running Windows 7 on a relatively new computer (6 months) with a relatively new printer hp officejet 6500 also around the age of 6 months. Everything worked well, until about a week ago, when Picture Manager abruptly stopped, printing images. I need to print the thumbnails/contact sheet, but when I click on print, nothing happens. I checked, and the correct printer is selected. No printing problem all other programs (Word, Publisher, etc.) is of course not a problem with my printer. I even opened the photos in other MS photo viewers, but the same results when I try to print, because they seem to everyone use the same print window. I see that many other people seem to have the same question, and the only solution I found that worked was where someone downloaded a file more old printwiz.dll, (that I made from the provided link) but I don't have the slightest idea what to do with him because I'm not a geek (I mean that in the kindest terms!) I run defrag and 'detect and repair' in Picture Manager, but still nothing.

    Help!

    I was able to fix this problem myself by doing a system restore to a point print smoking Picture Manager.  For those of you who have the same problem, you can try this.

  • Possible to delete the pix of Photos & keep about iCloud?

    I'm a jump and move photos to another management/editing software. I want 90 GB free on my Macbook Pro by deleting all my photos photos, but I want to KEEP all my photos (30,000 of them) in iCloud.

    It is an intermediate movement until I am sure that I don't want to use the Photos.

    Is this possible? Is it as simple as click on the button "Optimize Mac Storage" in the Panel preferences of Photos? Or is it possible to actually DELETE the pictures of my HD while keeping on iCloud?

    Thank you-

    Is this possible? Is it as simple as click on the button "Optimize Mac Storage" in the Panel preferences of Photos? Or is it possible to actually DELETE the pictures of my HD while keeping on iCloud?

    If you click on "Optimize storage", Photos will remove more original images, if you are running out of storage and replace with smaller optimized versions.

    It will be a dynamic process and take a long time.

    The fastest solution would be to move your photo library on an external drive, then remove it from your system disk. If you keep iCloud active library, you can still use iCloud photo library, if your external drive is connected, and you do the library on your external drive your system library.

    Or you can disable iCloud photo library on your Mac in ' Photos > Preferences > iCloud. Do not click on "Disable and remove" in system preferences > iCloud > Photos. The photos will remain in iCloud.

    Then don't use that the web interface for iCloud to www.icloud.com > Photos

    See this help https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/phtf5e48489cpage. -the last paragraph "stop using iCloud photo library.

    Important: If you decide to disable iCloud photo library, first be sure to select 'Download this Mac originals' in the iCloud Photos preferences pane, then all your original photos can be downloaded from iCloud to your Mac. Be sure to leave your originals to download before shutting iCloud library completely.

    • Choose Photos > Preferences, then click on iCloud.
    • Uncheck the box for iCloud photo library to turn it off.

    After having turned off iCloud photo library, the Photos on your Mac app can't access your iCloud library, and changes you make to photos on your Mac do not appear on other devices. Your library remains in iCloud and available to other devices than iCloud use photo library. To disable iCloud photo library on all your devices, open the iCloud of system preferences pane, click on the button manage, then click on photo library. Click on "Disable and remove." Your photos and videos will be deleted icloud library within 30 days, unless you click Undo deletion before that date.

  • What is the best editor/Photo for iPad Pro?

    Just watch to see what everyone uses.  I don't like on the cost.  I want to just make sure we can use the pencil and is good quality

    Apple's Pencl works only with applications that have been encoded/programmed/designed to operate it.

    Do a search in the iOS App Store for Apple Apps of pencil.

    I don't think there are image/photo editors who use the pencil to Apple.

    For what is 'best', 'better' image editor is a subjective term.

    Do your own research in the iOS App Store for image/photo editors and see what will work best for you and your own workflow.

    On iOS, you will find that you need more enforcement of an image/photo to cover everything you need to do with images.

    I use Photos of Apple's iOS app, but have other applications that can do other things to images/photos.

    You must see what is available and choose those who can work for you.

    There is no best or overall image/photo-editing app.

    iPads are not a notebook computer replacement / full desktop again!

    It can take more measures or apps to do some different things that have been easier or more directly on a regular computer.

    iOS is not also fully recommended and robust as ordinary computer operating systems.

    Good luck!

  • is there an alternative photo management system that works (and NOT the pictures)

    Y at - it another app that works better than the pictures, that we can use to manage the photos, because they took iPhoto and replaced it with pictures?  Is there a way just to import photos and save them to your computer in folders, as you would on a Windows system? And then maybe just use Picasso or something?

    You can still use iPhoto if you are eligible:

    Re: Iphoto's gone? I want to go back!

    Go to the App Store and check out the shopping list. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1

    If it's there, then drag your existing iPhoto application (not the library, just the app) in the trash

    Install the application on the App Store.

    IPhoto is sometimes not visible on the shopping list. It may be hidden. See this article for more details on how to view it.

    http://support.Apple.com/kb/HT4928

    A question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?

    iPhoto, the application and the iPhoto library are two different parts of the iPhoto program. So, reinstall the application should not affect the library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
