before the bustle of busy season begins, give your workspace some space.

app of the week
the shoebox full of old photos has been replaced by a data-hogging digital folder of images and video clips documenting soccer games, breakfasts, and selfies. and both are still just as unorganized as ever. (or is that just my computer?)

in any event, since january is national clean up your computer month, it’s time to tackle the 10 jillion megabytes of images you have in more than 50 file locations.
don’t worry if you don’t get this done in january. the second monday in february is national clean out your computer day.
the good news – great news, really – is that artificial intelligence (ai) is here to save the day…. or at least a significant amount of time.
google photos and apple’s icloud have made great use of ai to help you organize, store and identify your photo memories. they’ll also help you create collages, videos and other sharable memory multimedia. you can search by date, location, person and even objects.
acdsee‘s name makes me the most nostalgic, but its functionality is top-notch. although it’s primarily made for professionals, acdsee has a plan for individuals that lets you store, manage and edit images and video. it will pull all your images together to help you find duplicates, plus let you batch convert images from one format to another and much more. mylio has similar functionality, and they both use facial recognition and other advanced-search features to help you categorize and sort your images.
acdsee offers its software as a one-time download for $149.99 or as a subscription starting at $89 per year (or $8.90 per month). mylio is $4.99 per month or $49 per year.
