But thats awesome… even tho it can’t be done through itunes, and has to be done via wifi. The best feature by far tho is that it sorts by colors very accurately which I love, even by hex color values. Useful if using the tumblr backup jammy or capturing a lot of images off a board. It has a Smart folder that woks by date only… which isn’t really that helpful. if I want to see some image in detail i have to click the zoom icons. Then it has some wonky controls, for example, One is not able to zoom in on the image by scrolling (or pinching).

I Love the Icon and interface somehow makes the images added look really nice.įor some reason it doesn’t use OS X preview function but its own… which i find odd. SparkBox and Pixfeed by IcyBlaze (discontinued) It has iCloud sync functionality and promises a soon-to-come iOS app… which I am really hyped for! Most extraordinary of all it has a duplicate find options, which is great when updating the image backups you have from Tumblr. An Image crop tool would be great, as well as a video trim ability.

As it handles videos, you can convert em to gifs easily. It has Wonderfull editing system, and embedded sharing functionality. You have to create a smart to collection if you want to sort through Strarred images. It has a star based rating system that feels a bit clunky but it works. It has color filter tool which doesn’t quite work, but its there, it doesn’t allow you to sort images by colors on the over all view of your collection. With most of the competition now abandoned, Pixave really stands out as it looks really modern and is regularly updated. Sorting images from the “all” view is not possible… which means sorting within different collections has to be done one collection at a time. Some of the features I use most are a bit hidden away, like the star rating system. With an Icon and interface that is completely seamless to the new OS X look, Pixave is a gorgeous app, it displays the thumbnails of your images beautiful, and has some customization options. Finally because the cloud is here to stay, I find it useful that my images could be syncd among devices. Also tools that help clean up are a plus, like finding duplicates or allowing me to clean up my folder from things I don’t want anymore (ej live folders). So the aim of the app is to make your art look good, and be easy to browse.įeatures: Since most of this images are to be browsed, auto sorting, tagging is a must. I think interface is important because what you are keeping here are not your personal photos but the art you’ve collected over the years. I check mine almost constantly cos I need it for reference, inspiration or just passing time.įortunately there are a few “softwares” that help you with this sort of thing.įoIve purchased and reviewed some of the most popular… My criteria and thought are based on Maybe I’m a hoarder… maybe you are too, and if so you know having this huge folder with files are really a nightmare to organise let alone look at. I have a folder with pictures downloaded since the late 90’s, that’s over 30.000 images I have…. So uploading my 3rd parties image collection for reference online hasn’t been that easy. When services like, Pinterest, FFFFound, we ♥ it, pinterest and tumblr are your best friend and your sworn enemy, you are forced to take up the habit of making a nice and clean hard copy of all those nice images you love seeing, just like the 90’s… except floppys won’t cut it… and flash drives can’t be relied on… and who on earth burns a DVD these days? Through my life not only had geocities disappeared… but got banned from we heart it and had so far 3 tumblr blogs deleted. Accounts get deleted because users, being naive, upload renaissance paintings that happen to feature and naked child ( I kid you not). And geocities died and you changed hosts and lost all the data. However if you have been online for a while too, you know, nothing on the internet is eternal. People could put their hearts into these pages to show through other art or pieces of memorabilia and fashion… who they are. Why people feel the need to create, curate and showcase random peaces of the internet galleries not merely as a backup practice, but as an unique expression of individuality. This need to accumulate and curate you images has always been one of my biggest fascinations among online activities. These images you would download, save on out hard drive or floppy and then maybe re-upload to your own geocities/angelfire, site. Why? cos videos where insanely large for a 56kbps modem connection. In the earliest eras of the internet, when people would go online and search for images. Got a large image folder backup on your hard drive? Read on!
