    I was just about to sign up for Mylio until I realized they raised $25M from China Everbright International and have an R&D facility in Hengqin, China. Given the current issues between the US and China, I’m not comfortable with my information being associated with a company that has significant ties to China. Can anyone provide more insights or reassurances about this?

    Thanks so much for a great episode, it was very helpful! There was mention of album stomp as one of the options for designing photo books that don't sit with the photo book companies and that there are a range of options for different software programmes for creating albums. Do you have any other suggestions or any other episodes that deal with this? ... I want to find one where I have control of the album e.g. not subscription based and where I can make a duplicate in the future and so it is saved in a fairly generic format to connect to a few options and e.g. where I can create a family album that I can share for family in different countries to print at whatever local photobook companies they have in their local area - I heard about an option in Adobe, but it seems like it might be aimed at professional photographers and be a little complicated.

      In terms of longevity, photos of the people who matter most to us are usually most important to us, and to them. Of course there is the family we are born into, and the family we choose. Either way I just mean the people who are most important to us.

    In my opinion most travel snapshots aren't all they are great but I take them anyway. I probably have hundreds of pictures traveling down some road or another. I end up deleting most eventually. But, if a photo brings me joy and adds to my story, I'm keeping it

    You talked about organizing from iCloud but I don't see a search in iCloud ? Also I have extensive libraries on my phone and mac - only one is backed up to iCloud. My album names are different on my phone vs. Mac. IF I combine both libraries to iCloud will ALL the albums be displayed. I haven't received a clear answer from Apple if one library will overwrite the other or if they will both combine in icloud and then show up on my phone and mac. Hope that makes sense. Thank you

    • @miss.freddy
      @miss.freddy 2 місяці тому

      To fully use iCloud you will need it enabled on BOTH devices, with the same Apple ID. The initial sync will take a few days while iCloud sorts out what already exists, updates albums, etc- but eventually it’ll end with the same number of photos on both devices and show the same albums on both devices. If the albums are different on both devices, they will ALL be displayed after sync. You’ll need to be patient for a few days after enabling iCloud in both places while it updates everything but it’s fabulous once it’s done! And search is inside the Apple Photos app/program on your phone and computer.

      @@miss.freddy thank you for your quick response. I've been hesitant to do this since I have over 80k photos combined but after listening to your talk it's really the only way to establish 'my hub' and get going on organization. I was concerned one library would wipe out the other. On another note you mentioned you have over 300 albums ( I also have a lot) I find the Photos App a little cumbersome to use with albums. When adding a photo having to scroll through them all to find your selection. I'm sure iCloud will continue to improve. One suggestion I have for Apple (the genius hadn't even heard this one when I called) is to add an identifier to photos making note that the photo your viewing is already in an album. I've done a lot of organizing over the years by date, month etc. but often forget if I've added a photo to an album or not and then you just end repeating the same effort.

    • @miss.freddy
      @miss.freddy 2 місяці тому

      @@sandypappas3210 you're Mac-based right? If so it's really quick and easy to sort Albums into FOLDERS within Apple Photos on the Mac. That work syncs with your phone via iCloud once iCloud is fully setup and working properly. That's the secret to keeping my 300 albums feeling organized- they're in folders by category. And in the Apple Photos program on Mac, you can use Smart Albums to find everything that is NOT in an album. I personally don't need to know that info (my goal isn't to have 100% of my photos live in an album) but it's a pretty popular request from my students and clients. Unfortunately smart albums are not available on iPhone and don't sync across devices so it's a Mac-only tool.

    I'm very interested in pursuing a career in this. MIght get going with the Training course. So I am wondering if you can give an actual example of how the pro-rated fee for upgrading to the Professional course would work. Is it based on time passed or courses watched so far? Also, is there a place I can look for examples of incomes from being full-time in this business? Thanks!

    • @kimkiehl5469
      @kimkiehl5469 6 місяців тому

      The prorated amount is based on how many months you have been in the training program and the cost per month of the Professional level. We will be adding a chart to the FAQ page on the website so you can see exactly how much you would pay each month to upgrade. Examples of income vary widely based on what kinds of work you do, how much time and effort you put in and where in the country you are located. We have members who only want to earn a side income and members who earn 6 figures annually. The professional membership helps you create your own goals for your business and helps guide you in reaching those goals.
