If PhotoScope delivers a "lite," view only option (see the wish list), I'll probably buy it.

If I ever need access to my full library, I'll go the Remote Desktop route.
If you are in need of a full-fledged, on-the-go workflow solution, a MacBook and Aperture's Library Import/Export facilities are superior.įor now, I'll be staying with my MacBook. Rating is a small segment of an overall photographic workflow, and PhotoScope won't unchain me from a living, breathing Mac. With respect to a photographic workflow, PhotoScope offers rating only. Some ideas that come to mind are family members reliving memories or the kids finding photos for school projects. If you are in need of just browsing and sharing from an iDevice, I'd say grab the app. After your photos have been pushed through your workflow, it's an interesting viewing and sharing experience. PhotoScope is a great start to an iDevice app for Aperture. Can multiple iDevices access the same photo library? Are multiple libraries supported? What protections does PhotoScope offer if multiple devices are rating and/or flagging the same photo? The Net/Net (Scott's Opinion) It is unclear if PhotoScope supports concurrent access. It's billed as a way to browse your library from an iDevice. In PhotoScope's defense, it does not claim to be a workflow workhorse. Any rating, flagging or sending must happen while on the same WiFi network as your main Mac. There's also no "offline" mode, so taking a portion of your library on the road with PhotoScope is not possible. No keywording, locating, adjusting, creating new albums, etc. Other workflow simply isn't possible within PhotoScope. Also, an iPad or an iPhone is a more comfortable device to hold in a recliner or pass back around a group of people for viewing. If you don't have a laptop, PhotoScope may be your answer.

For full access to my entire library, I could enable the Remote Desktop on my main Mac and use a VNC viewer. That's nice.Īrguably, I could do these same tasks with my MacBook. And your entire library is accessible as compared to whatever you may have sync'd via iTunes or pulled in via iCloud. The usual suspects are present - Facebook, Twitter, email. From PhotoScope, you can share albums or selections to a variety of places. PhotoScope also supports sharing directly from your iDevice. After importing the photos into Aperture, fire up PhotoScope, grab an iPad, curl up on the couch, and start rating. For example, rating photos with my wife after a family vacation. I see one potential use for PhotoScope if I want to rate photos with someone else. I'm already at the Mac importing photos, so rating typically happens at the Mac as well. And I almost always do this immediately after importing images from my camera.
In my workflow, rating is the very first step. In my opinion, this is marginally valuable. PhotoScope provides the ability to rate and flag photos in your Aperture library (not clear from the docs if the same is true for iPhoto). PhotoScope is weak with respect to workflow operations. I'm always looking to improve or streamline my workflow, and that's forefront in my mind when looking at new tools related to Aperture. I had a quick exchange with the author (a responsive and pleasant chap) and without previews, you may have display issues with some file types. It's also advisable to have previews generated for all photos in your library (or at least all those you're interested in viewing on a iDevice). The helper script takes care of launching Aperture or iPhoto as necessary. The Mac and the helper AppleScript must be running whenever you're using PhotoScope.
