    Sorting Photos

    BeneG

      If I upgrade to Revel Premium will I be able to sort my photos as I want to display them and not be forced to accept the date order ?

       

      Thanks in advance

          the interface is the same for users who are free and those who are premium (paid). Currently the main display mechanism for photos is by date.

           

          Are you hoping to rearrange the photos manually in an album to tell a story, or are you looking for some type of tagging mechanism to sort by in albums and libraries?  I will happily take your feedback and request to the team for consideration.

            Hello Pattie

             

            Thanks for getting back to me. 

            I like the clean interface of Revel but the fact that it forces me to one of two options for sorting my photos is really irritating.

            I use Bridge to sort my photos ( to tell a story as you describe it ) - rename the items in the folder to something logical - only to find that when uploaded to Revel the order is forcibly changed by the application.

             

            I’m a big fan of Adobe product but I can’t believe the shortcomings in Revel and it’s stopping me subscribing to the premium version.  I’m sure I’m not alone

             

            I currently use the Google offering “Photos” for my cloud based albums.  I don’t have problem with that product from the sort point of view.  I’d just prefer to use Revel, but, unless there is a solution to this problem I will not be swapping my allegiance. I’d be pleased for you to follow up on this.

             

            Best regards

              Pattie - I have just replied on my own query but your question here is exactly the one I am asking - I would love the functionality to be able to sort photos in Revel by a manual or album order (as you can in Elements) to tell a story. Is this functionality under consideration ??

                Ian and Graham,

                 

                We have had some requests to allow manual arranging of the photos in an album, as well as sorting by different means. These are on the wish list to be considered.

                  Yes, I agree. The inability to be able to do a custom sort makes Revel just totally useless to me. Instead of putting this request on your wish list, it should definitely be on your top priority list!!!    Revel should have never replaced photoshop.com unless it provided at least all of the features that photoshop.com provided.
