PhotoShelter for Brands Reviews & Product Details - Page 23

I like that everything is in one place, and labeled in a way that is easy to find. I usually use photoshelter when looking at the photo library for one of my clients to use in various ads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to be able to view the images all in one place (similar to how you view photos in an iphone) since they sometimes get hidden in the cetgories when I am looking for one specific image Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the fact that I can search for something like 'logo' and instantly all my logo variations appear. I can then just as quickly share them with colleagues or external designers via a link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When people forget to tag their images - it's such a simple thing to do and without tags it makes files so much harder to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, we have found Photoshelter for Brands user-friendly, affordable, and reliable. Customer service has been helpful and responsive to any concerns we've had, and most issues have been resolved quickly and easily. Onboarding has been straight forward even with us opting to do the process folder by folder to ensure we weren't taking over old, unneeded files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one issue of concern right now is specific to the Adobe CC Connector extension. As of August 2021, when working in InDesign, file formats with transparency (PNG, PSD) are NOT placed as their original file format and instead are placed as a low res JPEG image that, of course, ignores transparency. This is problematic for us, but we understand from our CS rep that this is being worked on, and we're hopeful it will be resolved soon. The only other concern is that PDF file handling isn't as robust as we'd like, with no ability to preview multiple page PDFs or place page 2+ into an InDesign document without downloading first. We understand that this is a feature that's also currently in process and should be available in 2022 -- for now the workaround of downloading multi-page PDFs isn't a serious problem for us as it's not something we need to do frequently.

The mobile app makes life much easier for our social media team, and for sharing images with our athletes at a moments notice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The website could be more intuitive than it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The search function on Photoshelter has been such a life-saver! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Libris app has its issues; sometimes when you try to download a photo the app completely shuts off. It also logs users out often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy it is to work with. I also love how user friendly and how easy it is to get content to my athletes. It saves me so much time and it a HUGE help to our league. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can be a bit glitchy and can crash. It also sometimes shuffles the content I have uploaded, making it hard to find content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After using Libris for sometime, I feel like it's a good place for your photos to live. There are many features that let you add keyword/metadata to make searching easier, as well as some useful filters like date uploaded and IPTC dates. That feature helps me a lot if a photo hasn't been keyword properly.

It also is very visual and doesn't bury information about the photos in odd places, and allows you to batch attach necessary information to many photos at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the gallery/collection system search. I find I rarely use it. It doesn't work the way the "File Search" does and is usually useless to me when trying to find something. It may just be how we have our own system set up that makes it not useable, but "File Search" is far more intuitive than the search bar through the galleries/collections that shows up when you log in.

It also doesn't mention if you've already uploaded a photo with the same name, so if you have several photos with the same numbering (ex. DSC_104), it won't alert you to create another name, it'll just assign it an extra number (ex. DSC_104_01) instead. Having a feature that can recognize duplicates would be useful.

I like that it's easy for external constituents to use Photoshelter with minimal or no training. It generally does all we need it to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It keeps getting more expensive, and we aren't even using many new features that are causing this. Also, the inflexibility with ongoing issues. For example, the simple fact that you can not search by photographer name. This was something the salesperson told us was possible, and then when we loaded up our images found out it was not. After multiple complaints, it's been something I have been told they're "working on" for four years. It would be nice if the keywords would also stay in the order they are placed in. It switches to alphabetical order on the portal, and if there are multiple people, there is confusion as to who is who when I have spent the time putting the names from left to right.

I love the ability to share globally and give people access to specific files. We are working with Workspaces and trying to make our teams work together without photo access being a bottleneck. It has made our collections more usable and we have been able to link up the approval process for sensitive material. I am glad that users can upload photos to their own workspace, and use this to communicate with their group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The search engine is very old. Hard to search only a collection. On the portal, the search engine is very limited. Tagging and downloading as a batch from thumbnails is not possible. Would love to work from thumbnails more. Like to see large photos when I want to. To move photos from Galleries to your workspace you have to move them one by one. Administrators do not have this problem but my clients do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Photoshelter is excellent for managing digital assets and allowing user to collaborate on multiple projects. I personally enjoy the Lightboxes feature, which allows me to collect photos based on specific topics. I use these Lightboxes repeatedly when I have a project that requires specific campus shots. I also like the organization and ability to grant access to specific users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not too fond of the clunky nature of the PhotoShelter site or the slow load time it takes when searching for photos. It can take a few seconds to load all the photos, and then the page jumps around when I'm scrolling depending on what browser I use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
