Users of
Adobe’s Revel photo-sharing solution now have access to Android, as Adobe has
announced the availability of its new Revel Importer in the Android Marketplace.
The Adobe Revel app is a photography solution that gives users access to their entire photo library
from their iPads, iPhones, Macs and
now Android phones. However, although Revel Importer allows users to
import photos directly into a Revel account, it is not a full version of Revel
for Android, said Chris Quek, a member of the Adobe Revel team, in a Feb 15 blog post. Adobe Revel Importer simply provides Adobe
Revel subscribers with a quick and easy way to import the photos
stored on their Android phone into their Adobe Revel account.
“Revel
Importer allows you to easily add photos stored on your Android phone into your
Revel photo library,” Quek said. “The app also automatically imports new
photos, so you can snap a shot with your Android phone and it will instantly
appear in Revel.”
Adobe Revel
Importer is designed as a complementary app to Adobe Revel and is included with
a monthly and yearly subscription. Users with an active Revel 30-day free trial
can also use the app. Users have the option of selecting individual, multiple
or all photos at once and importing them into any of the five photo libraries
associated with their Adobe Revel account. It can also be set to automatically
upload any new photo taken with their Android phone.
The Revel
Importer lets users see photos on their Android phones that have already been
added into their Revel account. This lets them easily keep track of photos that
have already been imported and photos that have not been imported.
Moreover,
Adobe officials said Revel is the only photography solution that offers a quick
and simple way to browse, share and make photos look great using the same
processing engine used in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, without worrying about
manual syncing between devices or storage issues.
Adobe Revel
Importer is available as a free download in the Android Marketplace. Adobe Revel Importer is designed to be used with an active Adobe Revel account—paid
subscription or trial. A Revel subscription is available for $59.99 a year or
$5.99 a month. Adobe Revel Importer supports any Android phone that supports
Android OS 2.2 or higher.
