An on-prem storage solution specifically targeting these features at professional photographers would sell.
Storage is always a problem with every photographer I have met. They keep stacks of external USB drives or burn archives to DVD. They don't trust or want to use online storage.
A package that provided these models, trainable on that photographer's particular style, with autocropping, watermarking, etc. would sell very well among this group.
- eru 9y agoI bet you could make millions. Or even tens of millions. Great for a start-up. But Google doesn't bother with such small fry---especially if it comes attached to a complicated hardware business model. At these small numbers, they are more likely to just give away access to the software for free.
- dsnuh 9y agoOh totally, this isn't something I would see Google doing, and I agree that Photos is definitely a more sensible place for this to start showing up for their consumers en masse. This would definitely a targeted startup type product. If you had a system to: - batch ingest new photos - stylize them to your own style - categorize them - autoselect candidate photos for final tweaking - back up final album photos to local storage and S3 - archive to Glacier the rest of the photos from the shoot that will likely never be touched again You would have a product that I think would be very attractive to professional and semi-professional photographers.
