Update: Turns out, this too can be done with Hazel. My script isn’t necessary.
Earlier today, I wrote about how I’m using Dropbox as my photo management app. I closed with this:
This setup doesn’t harness PhotoStream, however, so I still have iPhoto setup to catch those images, just in case I don’t import something by mistake.
Turns out, importing images from Photo Stream into the folder Hazel watches to rename them can be automated, too. Here’s how I did it:
Viticci just wrote up a nice post outlining his move from iPhoto to Dropbox.
After reading it, I started to think about why I continue to suffer with use Aperture. I rarely use it edit my photos, and really prefer it over iPhoto just for the organization in to projects.
So, I’ve made the jump to join Mr. Smooth Hands on Dropbox.
I used Automator to export my library into a folder, with a sub-folder for each project. Automator named each file with the following scheme, based on file creation time:
Canon’s EOS M has leaked, and appears to be mirrorless.
Iwo Jima is my favorite.
Because as fun as it is to share iPhone photos conveniently on Instagram, that can’t be my only photography: I also need some photos that won’t look like shit when I look back on them in the future.
I’ve come to the same resolution (ha!) of late. A lot of photos of my kids were taken with my iPhone, and while most of them are decent, none are as high-resolution as I wish they were. Thanks to Marco, I’ve put my Canon G9 back in my daily bag.
Don’t put every Instagram filter on a single photo, or this will happen. Yikes.
iLounge editor Jeremy Horwitz seems convinced that Apple is working on a stand-alone digital camera. On Twitter, he wrote:
So, as briefly noted on Backstage, Apple appears to be working on a standalone camera - the third of three industries Jobs wanted to change.
These days, it seems like fewer and fewer people carry a dedicated, small standalone camera. While there is still plenty of space of DSLRs in the market, point-n-shoots have been replaced by smartphones for many.
Thanks to Shawn, I’ve spent another $2 on a photo app.
Boston.com has some awesome shots of yesterday’s eclipse — and of people enjoying it.
Do you remember Flickr’s tag line? It reads “almost certainly the best online photo management and sharing application in the world.” It was an epic humble brag, a momentously tongue in cheek understatement.
Because until three years ago, of course Flickr was the best photo sharing service in the world. Nothing else could touch it. If you cared about digital photography, or wanted to share photos with friends, you were on Flickr.
