PhotoPicker: 사진 선‪택‬ 4+

Fantastic, almost perfect

Amazing piece of software, exactly what I was looking for, for culling photos on the go with an ipad and mini keyboard without importing first into Lightroom. Really amazing. Very fast, quality of the previews is amazing, retains RAW applied film simulation and camera settings, instant transitions between photos (vs. the annoying fade-out effect with lightroom). And keyboard shortcuts are great !

The things why it’s not a 5-stars: - really heavy on battery, think 50% battery in two hours of use. - can’t open directly picked photos to an app (lightroom) they have to be exported first to a folder. - can’t rename catalogs.

Would be super useful : be able to keep zoom level when switching between photos, be able to see RAWs instead of embedded JPEGs. Ability to Move picked files instead of copying them when you click « Move picked RAW to folder ». Abolity to move rejected to a folder instead of just only having the option to delete them.

I am keeping my subscription tho to support the developer.

Tried on a Trip

Took this app for a Europe trip this fall on an iPad Pro. Worked well with 1800 photos after coming up with several work-arounds. It is setup for importing all the photos at once. If you add photos to the same album in Photos from another day of shooting PhotoPicker doubles up on the previously added photos. It does not recognize duplicates. Found if each day’s photos go into a different album then add that to PhotoPicker all is good. Also need to turnoff off sending to iCloud your Photos app and iCloud Backup for the iPad otherwise it will max out iCloud storage unless you have a very big allotment.

These problems can be overcome if it take full advantage of iPadOS 13.0. One less step of importing into Photos then PhotoPicker would simplify the process. Understand there is a change that may allow the use of external storage, hope so. Also hope that while importing it can do a backup at the same time. Will be taking it on another trip in December along with Lightroom to see which does the best grading job.

Thanks for the feedback. The latest version of photo picker already supports import directly from external storage for iOS/iPadOS 13. We have not yet updated the documentation, but this functionality has already been added to the application. When importing a photo, select “Directly from memory card” and then “RAW or JPEG”. Next, select all the photos and click Open.

Found bugs after 5 min

Was looking for a app to fill in the photo managing gap in an iOS photo editing workflow. This app is not it. I’m a hobbyist photographer. I would pay a 1 time price for a good app (like affinity photo), but I won’t pay a monthly fee - that’s strike 1. I downloaded / tested this app just to see how it works - only took 5 min to find a significant bug. I used the filter function to narrow down to 2 pictures, then I exported them to a new album. When it was done exporting, it said it had exported 5 pics - I checked, sure enough it did. I filtered / exported 3 different times using different criteria which resulted in 3 or 4 pics. Each export had 5 pics in it??? If it can’t filter/export the pics I want, how can I possibly use this app (plus, I won’t pay monthly for an app).

Thanks for the feedback. The fact is that when exporting results to a standard photo library, it happens for all photos that have a green flag. Thanks to your feedback, we got the idea to add another option when exporting, which will copy all the files that are the result of filtering. We plan to add this in the next update.
