![]() ![]() Mylio can figure out you just added something it's like ginormous numbers of watched folders like Lr and Aperture could use, but better. And this works even if you just open say Pixelmator, use it to open a photo, and edit. And if you use Lr, you can do a "synchronize folder" and import that. So you get the functionality of some pluging withouts having to have the whole plugin fuss. I haven't run across anything quite like it. Mylio detects that the filesystem has a new occupant, and offers to import it. Edit it in that external application, then save back to the same folder. You can do an "edit in." in Mylio, picking a photo there. It can keep track of that with a publish service.Ĭheck this out for more info from them about it: īut say you use an external editor. And it has an "edit in Lr" feature that works even if you haven't yet imported that photo into Lr it will open Lr, allow you to import, and then edit. And here's the killer part: that works not only for stuff like IPTC/exif metadata (which can be done with most applications) but also with image adjustments, like contrast, cropping, exposure, etc. And it can write back to the same file, and if you do a "read metadata" in Lr it will read those metadata changes. I haven't yet figured out how they do it under the hood, but it's amazing.Įssentially Mylio reads the metadata Lr writes, and can apply it. And this is key to those who use Lr, because Mylio can make use of Lr in ways I haven't seen done as well, even with some spendy plugins. With a referenced file managment system you can, of course, do similar things, but it requires more work, especially with mobile devices.īut the syncing philosophy extends to playing nice with other applications on your computer as well, in a way I haven't seen before. So you've got tremendously more control over the syncing than Apple allows, way more. And it has some sophisticated controls for security, and even a peer network feature. Very very nice that, since each device may have different needs. You have a lot of control over what gets synced to what, and it'll do previews, thumbnails or full files. Even separate settings for a NAS, which is supercool. It can be mobile devices (not Android yet, I think, and I hope the "yet" is accurate too), or desktop. ![]() ![]() Again, you don't necessarily need to store stuff in the cloud to do this. So it that sense it beats the pants off Apple and Adobe.Ī key thing in Mylio is that it links a whole bunch of devices. And unlike those two you can sync stuff without leaving stuff in the cloud, although I'd think that's still a great use of Mylio. And it's been designed with mobile use in mind, so it's not stuck behind the curve like Lr, and it's customizable, unlike Apple's iCloud library. That's a big deal if you've got say a work-supplied PC and a Mac at home. Mylio has some advantages out of the box, in that you can use it on multiple platforms. I know some here are using Mylio, and it has been discussed in the various "whadda I do after Aperture" threads/arguments, but I thought it deserved consideration on its own ESPECIALLY if you are already a Lightroom user. ![]()
