Photos are also tagged with their color on import so you can access this info elsewhere. Tags can be added, and metadata is pulled in whenever it can be (including OpenMeta tags). Sorting an Album by color will show you pictures with orangey color casts, or just B&W pictures, or just let you find the one with the red background. This clearly shows that the app was conceived for other uses, but it is dead handy for working with pictures. You can browse by folder, or Project (Album) or by the top-level trio of Library, Screenshots or Recent (the app can make and store its own screenshots).īut you can also sort by size, or tags or even colors. The response of everything is instant, with no lags to load thumbnails or anything like that. Just make one and start dropping pictures in there. Once they’re in place you can organize the photos into Projects, which are albums. Or you can add a bunch of pictures directly to the app. You can add them as a live folder (just drag to the Live Folder section of the sidebar), which will reference a folder on your hard drive and stay in sync, without moving any files. You can get Photos into Pixa in a few ways. PixaĪt first glance, Pixa looks like an app for graphic and web designer to organize their images, and it will do just that, and do it well: you can browse by image color, use a picker to click and extract the exact RGB (or other) color codes, and you can quickly export your pictures to many formats.īut it also makes a great photo app. You’ll see a lot of detritus in your stream if you save a lot of pictures to your iPhohe’s camera roll.įinally, Everpix can be used in conjunction with any of these other apps here, bith as neat backup and always-on browsable archive. What I like best about Everpix is that I have access to all my photos, always.Įverpix has some disadvantages: Browsing is by date only (although you can browse each source separately, and if you have synced a folder with subfolders, those can be browsed directly), and deleting images is a multi-click affair, done in the browser only, with no bulk options. The tagging app changed the file name and re-saved them, and the originals had been uploaded a few days before. I only got dupes one time, and that was – I think – thanks to geotagging some pictures on my iPad.


Somehow Everpix ingests many dupes from my various sources, and yet only shows me one of each. The other thing I like best is that I never see duplicates.
