george Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 How are you storing your images after you have uploaded to Stockimo? my 'normal' stock images get stored onto disks and external hard drives, but what about your mobile phone images?

IanGibson Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Mine are backed up to iCloud anyway, and once every week or so, I use Aperture to download to the computer. I'm sure there are other methods, but for me, my Stockimo images aren't all that precious, really. I wonder if we'll be bothering in 2 or 3 years.

Ed Endicott Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I transfer the images to creative cloud. Then from there, I import them into Adobe Lightroom where I permanently keyword and caption them and then archive them with the rest of my stock images. I use a file numbering system for each license type RF000001 - Royalty Free Images RM000001 - Rights Managed Images MP000001 - Mobile Phone Images This allows me to continue worflow as usual (archival, copyright, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerinF Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I currently have my phone set to back up to both iCloud and 'Camera Upload' in Dropbox when photos are taken, but every week or so, I connect my phone to my computer and import to Lightroom and treat as any other image. I know this isn't very efficient, but I figure it gives me some "certainty" of a cloud back up at the time, and then import later and clear my phone when it gets full. One of my frustrations with Lightroom is it doesn't seem to do a very good job of weeding out duplicates as between hard wired import and dropbox/iCloud, if that makes sense. So I was winding up with multiples copies of mobile photos if try importing from both the cloud and direct connection with phone. I prefer relying on the direct connection of the phone to the computer for Lightroom because I only allow iCloud / Dropbox to upload on wifi and can't always be certain that all images are backed up to the Cloud.

fotoDogue Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I must be Oldskool. I actually connect my iPhone to the computer via USB and import the photos using Lightroom. Images are stored on the same hard drive as my other images but in different folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Thanks everyone, I really must get my head around this whole cloud business! but think I will go along the route of straight to my pc from the memory card. The reason I had asked, is that I could of sworn I read someone saying they did not bother to save them! I thought it was just me being crazy saving, I shall carry on. Thank you for your imput. Happy Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
