FAQ: What is Revel?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 29 May 2013 18:27:49 GMT

Q: What is Revel?

July 2014

Adobe Revel is a photo sharing and cloud storage app that is based on a modern technology platform and was designed from its inception to employ new technologies. Revel was designed to address the changing needs introduced by the new multi-device world we now live in and has a focus on archiving, organization, and sharing across devices. It is currently available for Mac, Windows8 (tablet and computer), Android, and iOS platforms, and can be used on a Web Browser at Adoberevel.com.

Revel keeps your photos and videos organized in libraries and albums. If you choose, you can use the editing tools in the Revel apps to make quick changes to your photos. You can also share albums privately by emailing a link (recipient does not have to have a Revel account. They view the photos on a web browser), or share chosen photos publicly on your favorite social networks. Families and groups can make use of the collaborative sharing feature and add photos to shared group libraries. ( all members of the shared group library need to be revel users. )

Photos in Revel are automatically synced across all of your devices, so you always have access to your latest photos no matter where you are or what device you happen to be using. Photos are stored in the cloud so they don't duplicate space on each device. You can use the free version of Revel or upgrade to Revel Premium if you want unlimited uploads.

FAQ: How do I use Revel with Photoshop Elements 12 Mobile Albums?

Photoshop Elements lets you upload your media to Adobe® Revel and then access it from any device. Media already present in your Revel libraries is downloaded into Elements Organizer, so that you can work with it. Adobe Revel is an app that lets you store your media in the cloud and share it privately or publicly. See the links below for additional informtion about using Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 12 with Revel.

If you check the option to make all your Elements photos and videos available in Mobile Albums, then Elements will move everything over to Mobile Albums, and upload it all to your Revel Library. Note that with mobile albums if you delete an image it will be deleted inElements and Revel.

If you have some mobile albums that you only want in elements and you have already made them mobile albums, there is a way to move them back. You can drag and drop a mobile album onto a local category. Media in the mobile album is downloaded as it exists in Revel and stored locally. Subsequentally, the downloaded media is deleted from Revel. You can select one or more of the photos in the Elements Organizer and right click on one of them and select Remove From Revel at the bottom of the list. That will move them out of Revel, and keep them in the Elements Organizer.

FAQ: How do I share files in Revel?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 20:43:27 GMT

SHARING OVERVIEW:

In Revel, you can share links to albums which allows others to view photos and videos from a web browser at adoberevel.com. Revel also supports sharing in a variety of other ways, by email, facebook, twitter, message, etc. In addition, users can create libraries and invite other revel users (such as close friends and family) to collaborate in a group library. Collaborative users in a group library can add photos and videos, make comments, and favorite photos and videos.

SHARING PHOTOS AND VIDEOS ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Users can share specified photos and videos on social media sites such as facebook and twitter. They can also post a link on social media sites that will take users to view an album on adoberevel.com in their browser.

SHARING LINKS TO ALBUMS (Recipient does not need a Revel account)

General sharing in Revel is done by sending a link to an album to others so that they can then click on it or paste it into a web browser in order to access your Revel album online for viewing and downloading files (You can enable or disable downloading for each album). If you want to share a particular photo, you can view an album in the browser, then select the photo of choice, and then copy the url in the browser bar and send that instead. Users will still have access to the entire album, but it will open one specific photo.

SHARING VIDEOS

In iOS, you can share a video by tapping on the video to bring it up in full screen view (loupe view). Tap on the arrow on the upper right hand corner and pick "share". You can share via message, twitter , or email. Alternately, you can select the arrow and pick share to facebook.

In adoberevel.com, videos must be put into an album and then a link to the album can be shared as described above in “Sharing Links to Albums”

Video is not yet supported in the Mac and Windows 8 versions of Revel.

GROUP LIBRARIES (Recipient must have a Revel account)

Revel users have the ability to create additional libraries, and the option to maintain them collaboratively with selected trusted users. This feature allows multiple users to login to Revel and access a "GROUP" library. The owner invites other users to participate in his/her group library by email invitation. Users who participate in a group library will have access to the library when they login to their own accounts. They can add and edit files, and remove files that they have added, but cannot delete files that others have added.

FAQ: Revel basics: Where does Revel store my files

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 18:32:13 GMT

Q: Revel basics: Where does Revel store my files?

With Revel, your photos are stored in two places: Adobe’s secure cloud and the hard drive on your Mac if you have Revel installed there and have “Keep All Originals” set to “On.” This is the default setting. You can disable this setting if you know you have your originals stored safely elsewhere, or if you don’t have enough disk space on your Mac to accommodate all photos.

The iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and AdobeRevel.com browser do not support the 'Keep All Originals' feature.

On your tablet and smart phone, Adobe Revel loads thumbnails and proxies of your photos for viewing, and only downloads an original if you edit a photo. That way Adobe Revel is moving the smallest amount of datawhenever possible, meaning it doesn’t negatively impact storage or bandwidth on your device, but it’s also grabbing the full resolution files when you need them, enabling a full fidelity editing experience.

If you need to retrieve the files on your Mac, they can be found at:

/Users/youruserdirectorynamehere/Pictures/Adobe Revel Adobe Revel Library.rvl

This file is a package file. To view it on your mac, control click on the file and select "show package contents"

When you sign in to Revel, it is possible to sign in using your Adobe id, or you can click on the Facebook or Google option and login there. (See image below). When you log in with Google or Facebook, even though it looks like Revel is asking for your password, it is actually a Google/Facebook webpage asking you. By design, for your security, Revel and Adobe never touch or store your Facebook/Google password.

It is possible to login to Revel using your Adobe Id, and then post to Facebook from your phone or ipad to a Facebook account that uses a different email account to login. You must already be logged in to Facebook on your device when you use Revel. Revel will ask permission to use your photos and post to your friends. The photo will be posted from the Revel account your are loogged into into the Facebook account you are logged into on the Facebook app on your iOS device.

IF YOU USE THE SAME EMAILS and want to match up the passwords:

If your emails are all the same, then you can reset all 3 accounts to have the same password if you desire.

If you logged into Revel for the first time with Google or Facebook but would rather login to Revel using your adobe id, and you use the same email for your Adobe ID, you can log out of Revel, log back in using your adobe id (which will fail since you have never used it) and then select reset password. You can change your Adobe ID password to match either your facebook or google one if you want (or make all 3 the same if you choose).

IF YOU USE DIFFERENT EMAILS and want to make them the same:

If you use different email accounts to login to Facebook, Google, and your Adobe ID and you want to post from Revel to Facebook or Google, one option is to make all of the login email addresses the same. You can either change your Facebook/Google email in their website to match your Adobe ID, or you can change your email associated with your Adobe ID in Adobe.com to match the email you use for Google/Facebook.
