![]() Some of them are pretty obvious while others. I will not go in to much depth about this matter has there are a lot of good people more expert than me doing what they do best, but I will point here some new things you may not notice when you got the beta version and open it for the first time. Instead just use a new one with copies of some of you raw and movies. ![]() I never too much to say DO NOT MERGE YOUR LIBRARIES the old one and the new one as you may never return back. You also have no problem installing it if you are a user of any other versions has this one will install side-by-side with your older version and will create a new Lightroom 4 Catalog.lrcat library on the same folder as the old on. Pay attention that this is just a beta and some functions are not complete but you are always welcome to report to Adobe bugs and other errors you find so they can fine tune it and correct them in time for the final release. It will be interesting to see where Adobe goes from here.Adobe just made it again and gave us a version 4.0 to test just before the final version, due to be release around March 2012.Īlthough this is just a beta version you can count with a bunch of new features and free to try them out.Ĭolleges for photography will be glad to know this. ![]() Revel is a start at addressing this hole in their product line. With all of the talent at Adobe and their unquestioned dominance of the photo editing market, why have they not destroyed competitors in this market. This is the question I really can't answer. Why hasn't Adobe crushed Flickr and the other online photo services? But with so much competition, I think the free level needs to offer more monthly uploads if they want to attract new members. I could see them offer a version for free with CC, but still offer it to non-subscribers for $5.99 a month.Ĭonsidering all that Revel can do, I think $5.99 a month isn't bad for premium level pricing. So I'm not sure these consumers are going to be excited to pay more money to Adobe, even if it solves a problem for them.Ĭould Adobe offer Revel as part of the Creative Cloud? Maybe. Subscriptions to Creative Cloud include access to all the apps, free fonts, storage, Behance's pro portfolio site and more. Especially designers and web developers that use Creative Cloud apps and are serious photographers, but not professionals.īut Adobe has conditioned these users that everything is now in the Creative Cloud. So where does that leave Revel?Īdd metadata, RAW support and an integrated workflow with the Creative Cloud apps and I think there would be a market within the advanced amateur market. I'm not sure how many consumers will pay $5.99 per month when there are less expensive alternatives. Apple offers Photostream and stores the last 1,000 shots you took. Dropbox offers the Camera Upload feature and expands storage the more you use it. There is absolutely a need for this type of service, but is there a market? Especially at the price? Flickr offers a nice iPhone app and a terabyte of storage for free. Backup and sync is a major issue for these consumers. The goal of Revel is to target people (and families) who take pictures with their phones. (All metadata is preserved and visible if you export the file.) And there are no hooks from Lightroom or Photoshop into Revel. You can't see any keywords or metadata that is attached to the file. The current version of Revel only supports JPGs, not RAW files. In it's current form, Revel is not intended for same pro audience as Creative Cloud. More than a few folks online have wondered why Revel isn't included in Creative Cloud, but I think the answer is pretty simple. (The free trial for the first month gives you unlimited uploads.) A Revel membership is not included in a Creative Cloud membership. If you are going to seriously use Revel, you'll need to pay $5.99/month for the premium level that includes unlimited uploads. The apps and basic service is free and allows you to upload 50 pictures a month.
