Backups and 360-degree Photography

Jeff Carlson & Kirk McElhearn — Fri, 01 Mar 2019 00:00:00 -0800

We're tackling two topics in this episode of PhotoActive. First up, all-important backups! We emphasize backups all the time, but what does a good backup system look like? Then, after the break, we turn a never-ending corner and look at 360-degree photography, an interesting and creative niche.

Episode 25: Understanding iCloud Photo Library

Jeff Carlson & Kirk McElhearn — Fri, 16 Nov 2018 00:00:00 -0800

If you use Apple’s Photos app on your Mac or iOS device, are you also synchronizing your images via iCloud Photo Library? In this week’s episode, Jeff and Kirk talk about the pros and cons of Apple’s cloud service for photos. Why should you consider it? What are the downsides? And if you have your images in the cloud, is that considered a backup? (No, it’s not. We explain why.)
