#JAIKOZ SAVING METADATA MANUAL#

SongKong does not offer manual editing and never will, there are now many tools to do that. SongKong is only two years old, the aim was to provide powerful automated matching with a clear workflow for the user. I think Jaikoz offers more comprehensive tagging than any other music tagger on the market.Д«ut this complexity comes at the cost, although Jaikoz can be used simply this is not immediately apparent to users There are more than one way way to do some tasks and I have also been receptive to user enhancements requests to try and solve every possible problem. But in this story Jaikoz is more analogous to Photoshop, from the start it has added manual editing and automatic matching. Jaikoz development started in 2006 which coincidentally seems to be when Lightroom development began. Secondly, because the analogy between Lightoom and Photoshop is very similar to how I feel about SongKong and Jaikoz. So why am I telling you this in the jthink blog ?ДЇirstly, I have just launched my Secret Dorset Photography website, would be great if you come and took a look I still use Photoshop because it can do things that Lightroom cannot, but most of the time I just Lightroom. One particular aspect of Lightroom that I love is that instead of having to use layers to ensure I dont modify the original photo I do not even have to think about it, Lightroom never modifies the original photograph instead all changes are written to its catalog and can be undone.ДЄnd I never have to think about working colour profiles either, I only have to worry about colour profiles when I export the photograph for use in another application or print. But then as I delved into it I found almost everything I used Photoshop for could be done in Lightroom, and it was more obvious what to do and the results were often better. But then I discovered Adobe Lightroom - at first it replaced Aperture offering a much clearer way of managing my photographs and making simple adjustments such as contrast and exposure and white balance. I also used Apple Aperture for managing my photographs but found it awkward to use not least because of the opaque library it uses in a similar way to how iTunes manages songs. And because I did not use it regularly often I did not use it in the most efficient cleverest way.

You can easily spend an afternoon working on a single photograph to get it perfect. It is an incredibly powerful tool for photo-editing that offers limitless opportunities, but that is part of its problem.

I have used Adobe Photoshop on and off for many years for photo editing.
