![]() ![]() “Folders” works similar to “Albums” but creates folders within your storage vault.“Albums” allows you to create virtual photo albums within Mylio to organize your photos into.Mylio’s face detection AI is generally fairly competent, although you will notice some occasional detection mishaps that can be rather hilarious.) (This works similarly to photo tagging on Facebook and requires you to go through all of your images and tagging all of the faces Mylio detects. “Map” organizes your photos by location provided your images are geotagged.“Calendar” sorts your images by decade, year, month, and date.You can browse your images using a number of different views: The imported images are organized within Mylio’s “Life Calendar,” which is basically the program’s name for its visual timeline. Once you’ve set up the program on your computer (we’ll touch on this in more detail when we go over Mylio’s ease of use), you can begin importing your images stored on your hard drives and SD cards, as well as online services such as Facebook, Flickr, and Google Photos/Picasa. Mylio’s interface looks very polished on both the desktop and mobile apps. Sounds promising for sure, but does Mylio deliver? Find out after the jump. Mylio allows you to consolidate all of your photos and videos into one place, syncing them across all of your devices so that you can access them everywhere. This is where Mylio comes in, with the goal of bringing order to your digital chaos. If you were Marie Kondo, having to juggle thousands of images across all of these devices certainly doesn’t spark joy. That doesn’t even include all the photos we have taken or saved on our phones or tablets. I personally know photographers that have a drawer containing nothing but hard drives and memory cards that are full of images (you know who you are). Known sometimes as storage creep, this phenomenon certainly applies to photographers as well. One of the unintended side effects of living in the digital age is that we all inevitably experience digital clutter in one form or another. But Mylio seems to interpret the values in the XMP file differently than Lightroom, or at least fails to render the image properly for display, as shown below.Mylio is a promising yet imperfect software solution that aims to be the swiss army knife for your photo organization, management, and editing needs. If you make changes in Lightroom, you save them and then in Mylio go to the image and read in the metadata from the XMP file, which applies the adjustments. While the procedure isn't seamless it's still pretty straightforward. But even that doesn't seem to work the way it should. The answer, of course, is to use Lightroom - or any other editor which stores edits in a sidecar XMP file, the way Mylio does. Exposure seems to increase or decrease linearly, attempts to pull back highlights produce desaturated brown casts (even from cameras with broad tonal ranges), there's no one-click white balance, and there's no noise reduction for when you bring up shadows. They look and operate like those in Lightroom, but they don't behave nearly as well. I'm also unimpressed with the editing tools. And it doesn't seem to handle Fujifilm RAF files at all. ![]() ![]() This is how it interprets wide-angle shots from the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II. Mylio also has some hiccups interpreting some raw files. (Note that you can add NAS or USB storage and they don't count towards your device total.) My current drive which holds test files since April 2013 already has over 100,000 files on it, and it doesn't even include terabytes of personal files - and I'm low-volume compared to many commercial photographers. For one, it seems like the people who would be willing to shell out for the Advanced plan need a lot more than a 500,000-image limit. These prices seem pretty steep, especially given how unfinished the program feels at the moment. Peer-to-peer Wi-Fi with offline file protection, workflow, 10 Devices, up to 500,000 images JPEG and raw files, full editing, five devices, up to 100,000 images JPEG files, simple editing, three devices, up to 50,000 images First, the company will be selling directly to consumers, priced as follows (the UK and Australian prices are conversions from US, since it's currently only available direct via Mylio's site): Plan The company has a two-pronged business model, though both prongs require subscriptions. While you can export and send via email or directly upload to Facebook or Flickr, there's no Mylio website where you can direct people to see your images. Intentionally missing from that list is photo sharing. ![]()
