Quality was as good as possible from the tapes and no audio issues.

I bought a camera that could play the tapes (~$100) and an Elgato Video Capture (~$80). The capture part was easy enough, did it over a single weekend. My father died last year and I decided to digitize our home videos to reminisce with. I think things have gotten better in the meantime. Wow, I'm sorry this was such a hassle for you. They often have RCA/SVideo connections out to Firewire (yes.) Use it as a pass-through for a really good VCR (which are getting harder and harder to find). They existed in this weird sweet spot of the transition of analogue to digital. I've found that you can get really good results with a Digital8 camcorder with a good Digital/Analog converter.

The rolling action also causes some static buildup (thus: dust) and there's no Digital ICE (image correction/enhancement) to remove it.įor video, check the youtube video above for one option. But beware of a few caveats: the rollers are garbage once they heat up and glossy photos will 'stretch'.

TBH, I've used the Epson FastFoto series for fast scans at 600dpi (useful when you have literally thousands you want to get through - a shoebox will hold 1500+ photos) and it has great quality if you set it up right (read: turn off any image post-processing and do manual correction). Pixave uses “Markup” for annotation, fulfilling basic needs.It's largely dependent on the task - you kinda have to balance speed/quality/postproductionrequirements.įor high-speed photos a popular choice is the Kodak Ps50/ps80 -but it was discontinued like 2 years ago so you have to get it second hand. Support include cursor in the screenshot.You can use export dialog or simply drag and drop to destination folder. Prefix and Suffix supported, size adjustment and change of background colour are also supported. Fir: Fill background with background colours while keeping thumbnail ratioĪfter setting, you need to “Press Option Key-Right click-Rebuild Thumbnails”.The background color can be switched, but the setting is in context menu, so a bit difficult to adjust, hope upcoming version can fix that. Each collection can have different thumbnail size settings, you won’t mess up by switching in between them. Thumbnails size can be adjusted by the slider at the bottom. Live preview for GIF is awesome! Good job, Pixave! Preview Pixave supports: JPEG, JPEG 2000, GIF, PNG, TIFF, ICNS, BMP, ICO, PSD, AI, EPS, SVG, TGA, RAW (CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG), Affinity Designer format, Affinity Photo format, Acorn 4, Acorn 5, iDraw, Pixelmator, Sketch 3, PDF. Support main stream picture formats, preview is fast. The only thing troubling me is that you cannot add multiple tags for a picture at the same time. The algorithm is generally accurate, but for pictures with a lot of colours, the recognition of secondary colour is not always so precise.įor example, I would say the secondary color of this photo is some kind of green-grey, however, it just picks another colour in the sky. Pixave provides powerful colour inspector tool, you can filter your pictures through colours. Does not support searching for pictures without tags.Does not support searching pictures containing transparent area, but supports searching pictures with Alpha Channel.Smart Collection offers a variety of search options, like names, types, resolutions, tags, time, or file size. Pixave also provides mini window, which is easy to manage your photos on the other window. You can use the import dialog or just drag and drop the pictures onto the collection. The tree-like folder structure is the same as finder, so it is quite easy to maneuver about. It also identifies “Labels” from Finder and translate them into “Tag”. You can also new a “Folder”,”Smart Collection” or “Collection” under the main index. Your Collections are at the left sidebar. Similar to Lightroom, Pixave organize pictures via “Collections”, “Tags” & “Colors”. Pixave supports customization of library locations, so you can save the library under dropbox folder, and sync them between devices. It prompts you a dialog when you are importing duplicate pictures. pxvlibrary files, but only works in one library at one time, you can switch by menu or double click on the. Pixave works like the native photo app, it supports multiple. Pixave supports 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 (partially, when importing). Call external folders: organize pictures in the library without moving their actual locations.The management & organization of pictures So we need something something that do “ manage, preview, light editing, and export” of a large quantity of pictures.

Lightroom is an awesome software that integrates libraries and picture editing functions, so why do we need a picture management software?
