Well it’s that time of the year when we head over the river and through the woods to grandma’s house, gathering for group photos and videos. Here’s a couple tips for the holidays.
Photo Stream: Sharing your photos
Did you know that you can create a shared folder on your iPhone/iPad that you can share with your friends and family? Make sure that Shared Photo Stream is on (Settings/Photos & Camera), then from Photos click on the [ + ] icon to add a new folder in Photo Stream. Give it a name and share it with your friends and family. It will send out an invitation via email. They click on the link to add to their Photo Stream Folder. Now, whether you’re over the river or through the woods, when you add photos to the shared album, grandma will be able to see the photos on any iOS, Mac or PC (go to apple.com to download Mac & PC iCloud control panel).
Okay, it came up in the office, how do I make a still photo from a video on my iPhone. There are a couple apps (Video 2 Photo) or you can do it with some of my previous tips. Find the frame you want as a still photo from your video by scrubbing through the video (last tip of the day). Pause the video. Either tap on the screen or wait for it to go to full frame. Press the "Home" and "Sleep/Wake" button at the same time to save it in your "Camera Roll". Easy as pecan pie...just in case anyone wants to know my favorite pie lol.
App of the week: Qrafter Pro
Want to create QR Codes (Quick Response Code), try Qrafter Pro. I use this app for adding information to our publications we have in our inventory. I add URL, vendor info, production details, cost and more. With a quick scan on my iPhone, it pulls all the details of that job from a small 1x3 label. when searching for apps, always look for the free versions and don't forget to read the reviews.
Hope you enjoy these tips. Don’t forget, if you have a great tip or app, pass it on.
