Peter Nixie: Apple should pay attention to photos

Over the years, Apple has created and launched many new products, services and devices. Many even began to forget about the existence of the old, classic applications, it has long issued Apple. Among them a special place is occupied by iPhoto - program to organize and sort photo libraries for Mac and iOS.

According to blogger Peter Nixie, Apple began to forget about iPhoto and do not pay attention to the image in its applications and devices - as he believes Apple is now worth come to grips with photos in their devices and applications. Why and how to do it? Here is a translation of his post. Enjoy your reading!

We manage our photos in iPhoto for about 10 years. It all started is easy and simple: we connected our camera to the Mac, and iPhoto import them to the computer. It was all very simple.

Next iPhone came with your camera, and we started taking pictures a lot more. Apple gave us an excellent wireless synchronization. Now we do not have to remember to connect your iPhone to your computer via USB-cable. But because of this gallery on your phone and photo collection in iPhoto began to disperse - they are not part of a single library.

Then came the iPad, which is ideal for managing iPhoto library while lying on the couch. But Apple is again united all in a single library and photography continued to accumulate in the film.

Then, Apple introduced the "Photo Stream" - it seemed that it is able to combine all the images into a single gallery. But in fact, to import images from the photostream need to copy and paste them to the desktop - the problem remained unsolved again.

After that, everything was very confusing - how many new devices, applications and services do not appear, they do not normally work with iPhoto. I do not remember exactly where my picture - is in the "Photo Stream"? Oh, no, maybe it was overlooked in the film. Um... Where are my videos? Similarly, I forgot that you can not view the video photostream. This whole situation comical and creates a huge inconvenience.

Why users do not have the full ability to manage its library of photos not from your computer? In fact, many use the computer exclusively for business purposes, and the tablet and the phone provides good opportunities for entertainment. So what prevents to do normal work with iPhoto on mobile devices?

Generally, Apple should make the process of organization and photo management more user-friendly. What specifically can be done in this direction?

• The ability to store iPhoto library in the cloud. This will allow to work with images on any device with an Internet connection. By the way, it would be great if in the cloud store not only photos but also videos. At the same time, it is possible to introduce a fee for users at a rate of $ 5 per month.
• Get rid of the photostream and make a single camera roll library with iPhoto on all Apple devices.
• Make a special API to pictures in iCloud, with the ability to connect to the digital camera roll chamber with access to the network. It allows you to edit images with the "big" camera directly to iPhone and iPad.
• Significantly upgrade iPhoto for iPhone and iPad, adding to the ability to download and edit photos from the cloud.

These are the steps offers Peter Nixie. And whether you agree with him? Do you feel uncomfortable because of the lack of normal ability to control his-the iPhoto library? What else can be done to improve the situation? Leave your answers in the comments.
