Over the past few years I have become a bit of a photo addict. It all started
when I bought my first digital camera and I discovered that taking and sharing
photos was more affordable and faster than with film. Recently, my love of
digital photography has even transformed into a freelance photography business.
Although, taking and sharing photos still holds greater importance to me
personally, rather than professionally. A little over two years ago my husband
received orders from the Army to move to Ft. Campbell, Kentucky. So we packed
up and left all of our friends and family in California, and approximately
2,000 miles away. Shortly after moving, our first son was born, and 19 months
later, our second little boy. Photos have made it possible for our families to
watch the children grow, and to be a part of moments that
they would otherwise
miss.
With the number of photos I take, organizing and sharing can be
somewhat time-consuming. Manually uploading pictures to websites like Facebook
is not as quick as I would like it to be. Also, because some of the people I
would like to share photos with are not on Facebook, I usually have to upload
to multiple places or email photos as well. Fortunately, I discovered Fotobounce,
a free software program that helps make photo sharing even easier!
Fotobounce is unique from every other photo sharing method I’ve used
before. First, Fotobounce software runs directly from your computer as opposed
to online website storage or photo sharing sites. Immediately I
was impressed with how simple the download and installation process was. After
installing Fotobounce, the software launched and I was organizing photos within
minutes!
Next, the main feature I love about Fotobounce is the advanced face
recognition technology. This tool allows you to sort photos through the
software’s recognition of faces. I find this especially helpful because I’ve
taken photos for friends or my photography clients on several different dates.
I don’t always remember which dates the sessions took place on, however, using
identified faces, I am able to find and group photos quickly. Fotobounce even
recognized and grouped photos I’ve taken of Jacob over the past year, which is
amazing to me considering how much he has grown and changed in appearance! In
addition to recognizing faces, Fotobounce also sorts your photos by date, events, places, keywords, and collections.
Essentially all of your photos will be effortlessly cataloged and organized!
Finally, I love that Fotobounce works using a network that you
create through inviting friends and family to view your photo libraries. This
ensures your photos are kept private, and are only shared with the people you
choose to share with. To speed up the sharing process, you can even import
contacts from Gmail or Yahoo, as well as create different groups to share with!
Connecting with websites like Facebook, Flickr,
and Twitter is also
simple using Fotobounce.
