![]() As long as you can filter by your favorites at the end, that's all that matters.įilter (don’t search) through your folder, and be sure to select ALL of 3, 4 and 5 star buttons But whatever favoriting system you use, just do that. While that video is based on Aperture, the system is sound regardless what app you're using… oh, except Photos, which has no star ratings… *sigh*). (I've gone through my strategy at length a few times, most recently in the Live Training 105 video. I prefer to use a star rating system for most of my sorting, using three stars as a starting point for any photos I like well enough to consider, then raising them up or down on subsequent passes. Let's get into the nitty gritty… Sorting your favorites Either way, now you have TIFF files that you can work with - either in mylio, or using other third party apps. You can then move the photos back into the original folder, or just leave them in your selects folder, or move back the RAW+ JPEG pairs and leave the TIFFs behind… it's really up to you. ![]() Using Automator or Adobe Bridge, convert all the unsupported RAW files to TIFF files, which mylio will immediately recognize. If you want to do it to all of them, then just skip the sorting steps.) Move those selects to a new folder in Mylio (which also moves them in the Finder), which will move both the JPEG and the unsupported RAW file. (Sure you can do the following steps with all of your pictures, but you may as well just do it with only your selects. ![]() Rate, color label, flag, whatever you like to select your favorite photos. But the files will be imported and managed by mylio. If you only shot RAW then you'll see nothing until support comes. Today you don't see an “unsupported image” icon, which is a feature I've asked for, but if a RAW+ JPEG pair you'll just see the JPEG and have no access to the RAW. And the big bonus is that if you are shooting with an unsupported camera as I am, even though you'll see a warning on import that there were nn unsupported files, those files are still imported, and since mylio is always watching its Finder folders for changes, as soon as RAW support is available, those images will just start to work. The first piece of good news is that mylio handles RAW+ JPEG pairs largely like Aperture did, and certainly with more grace than Lightroom does. These days, Apple is adding RAW support very quickly for new cameras to OS X. Personally I'd love to see an option built-in to use either their RAW decode or OS X's RAW decode, which would negate this issue entirely. The app is available on Windows and Mac, iOS and Android, and by making their own RAW decode, it can be used on all platforms. As I understand it, they don't use the OS X RAW decode because of their cross-platform nature. I almost hate to do my first mylio post on a workaround, but the fact is that I'm playing with mylio as an alternative to Photos, really liking what I'm seeing so far, but am shooting with a LUMIX G7, which doesn't yet have RAW support in mylio.
