Hi I have a question how can u change your email password back wen change it
Please help
Subject passwords and emails a library for just that.
I. Have a video. On.this
Channel I'm trying to find
Do you know Kevin booth
One useful tip for conserving storage in Google photos that no one talks about is cropping your photos. If you crop unimportant parts out of a photo, save it as a copy and delete the original copy, you would've freed up some space. Do that for hundreds and thousands of photos overtime and it really makes a huge difference. For instance, do you really need the grey sky in the background of a photo of your cat? No, your cat is the main focus. So crop out the sky
Cool tip!
Just don't do it too many times because JPEGs don't like to be altered and resaved repeatedly.
I am a firm believer in cropping photos. Great tip. Don't save what you are not interested in.
I do that all the time! It really helps.
Krishen, thanks for touching on the storage issue in Google Photos. Steve shows Photos Settings under the account picture or initial icon, not on my devices.. I don't know if he reads replies. I'll post a comment directly. Yes, storage is giving me fits and I can't see how/where to turn Photos off.
Great tips! I had a dog named Farley 30 years ago - a little Scottish terrier. She was a lovely little girl and it took me years to be able to think of her with a smile rather than tearing up.
Thanks for sharing!
I wish google photos had sub-albums or categories to put albums under. I have over a 100+ albums. Would be nice to categories them like, friends, family, vacations, etc...
I have to agree! I also use MS Photo Gallery on my Win 10 laptop and it does allow this, so I can put all my trips under one main folder, etc, and this keeps all folders of a certain subject together.
Unfortunately, with Google Photos, the albums are scattered so that your trips from 2022 and 2023 won't necessarily be together and you may have to go through your hole list of albums to find either one. Adding the categorization feature to Google Photos to better organize albums would be great!
I'm not happy with it at all
I'm sorry about your loss. I actually came to this video right after going into Google Photos for the first time in years and having memories presented that also hurt to see so I for sure understand where you're coming from. Thanks for the tips.
Another great feature of the search, if you are looking for photos of 2 or more specific people, they must be identified in photos then search "name and name"
It will even find the people in videos!
I actually did not know that! Thanks!
how do you add photos of couples into an album?
Yes! I just recently discovered this feature, also. It works great!😉
Thank you Steve. Google Lens has just blown me away. I can now I'd birds I don't recognise from my photos. Fantastic.
Dotto, You Sir, are a true DOG man. I have to respect that. Take all the time you need.
Good tips. I use Lens a lot while hiking to identify flowers, plants, bugs, etc. Google Lens stand-alone app is best to download for this.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much. I didn't even get half way through your video when I discovered Google's Photoscan. That app is also absolutely awesome. Now we don't have to have a separate scanner to scan in photos. We can just use our smart phone!!!
Wait till you discover the glare reduction feature for when you are scanning in photos with glare like in a album under a protective sheet!
Hey Steve great to find you again! I remember you from ~10+ years ago. Up to about10 or 15 years ago Google Maps had the ability to make elevation maps outside of the cycle tab. It was great for showing elevational changes on rivers, hillslopes or even the Grouse Grind.
A tremendously comprehensive note here about Google Photos. I'd like to see something about taking say, hard drives of photos/content and shunting it up to Google Photos/part of the space I'm paying for and then having Google Photos begin including them. Thanks again for great content! You are appreciated!
Excellent video, well structured and to the point. The recap is very usefull. Thanks again!
sorry about Farley.
lost my best friend last year. Tough times.
hang in there. appreciate your work, man.
Thanks so much. Sorry for your loss as well. We are getting new puppy in about a month. Still kind of reluctant. But getting excited.
Dear Steve..... I feel your pain. I just lost my friend and confidant, my Cocker Max. The pain is as great as the love. My condolences.
And to you, thanks.
Just chanced upon your Google Photo and Maps tutorials both are enjoyable to watch and informative to an educational level. Thanks for the help understanding our technology.
So very happy and grateful to have found your channel!!! Just what I've needed for years questioning, why can't I do this or that? Okay, you have shown me how I can!!! I will be reviewing this video several times, practicing, until I finally get it!!
You are so welcome!
Just when I think I’m a Goog know-it-all, you teach me something new. Thanks Steve!
Thank you so much 🙏... I especially like the lens feature.
Thanks for getting back to your DottoTech videos. They are the best. Another feature you insure is awesome audio. I can understand what you say!! Far too many presenters do not take the effort, as do you, to make sure the viewer/listener really benefits. Thanks.
Glad you like them!
I just started using Google Lens, Awesome!
Thank you for all the cool tips! I just found you a couple days ago, and I am so glad I did! Your presentation is great, and your subject matter is interesting. Well rounded and to the point! I really enjoy your show! I look forward to seeing many more of your creations! Thank you again and God bless!
Awesome! Thank you!
You are a treasure! Thank you!
So helpful!! Love your videos. Ready to use all of these tips!
Love that you add a "jump ahead" option!
I have the same grief issues with photos. I understand about how sad you are about seeing photos of Farley because my animals are family members to me and when they have passed I grieve for years. Thank you for all that you do to help us😢
Omg. This so awesome. Thanks for sharing. Found your channel yesterday and watching all your amazing videos.
Welcome!!
Thank you. I love your explanations.
I'm so glad!
Glad you made this video!
The part about Google Lens really helped explain it to me and in testing it out as I watched your video really showed me how powerful a tool it can be.
One feature I'd really like to see added to Google Photos would be a way to group albums under a "main folder" as sub folders, as is possible with MS Photo Gallery, which I use on my Win 10 laptop. This way albums for vacations, family, pets, events, etc, could be grouped by category and much easier to find, especially when doing any type of comparisons. I know the search feature can help with this but in many cases, just having albums under the same category, such as those for one's 2021 and 2022 vacations being next to each other would help greatly.
As it stands now, I sometimes have to go through my whole list of albums to find a particular one, even though there may be several albums that could go under a specific category, such as "vacations". My 2021 and 2022 vacation albums won't necessarily be together, so finding one doesn't guarantee that the other will be next to it as it would when I am using Photo Gallery.
If there is a feature like this, or a technique I can use to find similar category albums, please let us know.
Thanks, and again, a great video!
you always have such great, informative videos. Thank you
Glad you like them!
Thank you for the tips. I loved using the lens on my new Pixel 6 - I took a photo of my husband and it came up with photos of Bernie Sanders! Love it.
That is awesome!
Fantastic! Many thanks, Steve. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Fabulous. Great info. Thank you.
I use Google photos to document every new piece of equipment that I get. I take pictures of the shipping labels and the labels on the equipment. And I take pictures of the insides of the computers to document the chips. Then I use Google docs or Google sheets to include those pictures into a document that allows me to continue to record the history of my working on that piece of equipment such as even links to or images of manuals. Also, shortcuts and passwords.
Learned so much from this video!!!
Very useful, thank you.
Very useful reminder, thank you.
Thx Steve, well done.
One great feature of Google lens is to point at a piece of text you want to copy, eg a label. Then options appear and you have the possibility to copy directly to the clipboard of your computer, and you can paste as editable text in any document . Just sayin...amazing.
That is a great feature!
Thank you for the info about Google Lens, super awesome! After watching your video and started playing with it, and something so cool, if you a "busy photo" with many elements you can adjust the "focus" of the Google lens to search a particular part of the photo. Very useful, thank you!!
Great to hear!
Great tips Steve, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome !!!
thanks for sharing wonderful tips.
Fantastic tips, thank you for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
What a great video thank you so much for sharing.
So nice of you
Great to see someone else mention the memories filters. Absolutely our mental health and well-being is affected by 'hey remember when?' Hurts a lot in some instances. Definitely surprising for me too why Google doesn't promote these functions to users. Think it would be rather cool if they did. Once again, great video. thank you Cheers from Canada 🍁 🍁
Super!!! Thanks! Subscribed!
memories. when i look back at myself 10 years ago, it make me sad. i'm growing old. time flies..
Thx for making me "glad today" 😉
Best from Bavaria 🇩🇪
Glad to hear that!
Great video, Steve!
Glad you think so!
Distance tremendous information and I learned so much thank you
Really excellent on all the points Very useful. Thanks alot
The other day Google photos put pictures of me and my puppy on my memories so I can completely relate with what you're talking about. I Miss Betty bites
Thank you sir God bless you for helping me. Please keep it up sir
Wonderful! I'd love to know more about the slide show function.
Rad video, thank you!
Good Sir, you did quite well, again!
Thank You!
Google also reads and remembers text in your photos/screenshots. So if there’s any text in something you’re looking for, search for that as well. I find it useful when searching for car photos, you can search by it’s number plate ( or part of it) as well as by make, color, ( or both together), or if you know the year or location taken. I find this useful at work and can save a lot of time looking for a car photo/s.
Really useful to know, but how scary is that. Lesson to be taken onboard… Always Look Around and Behind and make sure that there is Nothing that Google’s computers can associate with you that would be somewhat misleading. 😳🙀👍
Thank you!! I just got a memory pop up a couple weeks ago with my ex & don’t want it. I don’t want to delete the photos because of our children, but I don’t want the memories showing up either. You solved my problem!
I lost my beloved Dusty too in 2020 he was only 8. Like you I too have heaps of photos of Dusty. I like looking at him but it's also sad and I miss him so much .
Sorry to hear that. I bet Dusty was an awesome Dog.
@@dottotech yes he was.
Thank you.
Amazing!
This is great, Steve can I replace Gallery on Samsung with Google photos so that my photos go into it immediately, even from WhatsApp? Also can I resize and change the picture as in Gallery?
Several of these will proof useful.
I remember you on the telly. How far we've come!
Best technology tutorial ever!
Hi Steve. I so appreciate the humanity you bring to this thread.And no better example than the point you so movingly make about intrusive memories. Thanks for all you do and have done over the years. You have no serious rivals.
Thank you for the great video. I agree organizing and locating photos is sometimes so involved. We take loads of travel photos. I have started naming my photos so I can search them on my phone fast. Working great. However on Google photos, I haven't been able to figure out how to search these. When you open a photo the name shows under the details section. Any thoughts. Thanks again
I learned so much on this video
This post was very informative & to-the-point. You made me so much smarter than I was on these items. Thanks! Now, I’m curious whether you’ve covered the Memories feature in greater depth. Mainly, I’m curious about the ins & outs of “editing” the suggested Memoies, i.e. adding/deleting images, applying different FX to images in Memories (Ken Burns Effect, etc.) as well as choosing different background audio, (say like using my own original music) & lastly, whether the Memory can be exported as a video. ☮️
Hey Steve, came across you by accident whilst searching for cataloging old photos, some really useful information here. I have loads of old photos and want to know the best way of digitalising them for future generations, any ideas would be great. Thanks for posting this video, well done, I have now subscribed as well.
Awesome content
Very useful. I'd love to see a video of how to do basic editing in Google photos. For example how do you edit a picture and also retain the original? Can you somehow duplicate it and then just edit one copy?
Great suggestion!
Save your edited pic as a copy
There's so much unexplained...... this no one realized that you can't even delete a photo you can just move it to Archive.... there's so many times when I might take five pictures and I need to delete four of them....... but I'm stuck I can buy more storage space..... but I can't delete
Brilliant video, Steve! I use Google Photos all the time so knew some of these, but certainly a couple I didn't - hiding memories is a great features, and thank you for such a clear description of Google Lens, which had always puzzled me. Great work!
Glad it was helpful!
Well done sir. I'm sorry to hear about Farley!
Thanks for this video I never know all those settings.
Happy to help!
Hi Steve, thanks for another great video. When discussing the sharing options for Google photos you mentioned that selecting photos on the Android app was a bit finicky. The trick is to do a longer press on the first image that you want to share and then just simply quick tap the remainder of the photos that you wish to share.
Great suggestion! Thanks for sharing it!
I love Google Lens for translation and copying text off of a photo.
Wow. TH-cam recommended a new channel that's good. 🤔 Subscribed. 😎
Awesome! Thank you! I love to hear that!
Thank you so much for these useful tips. Could you please spend some time on how to include a picture in an email? I struggle with that so much, I just don’t get it. Maybe because I am creating an email in outlook and want to include a picture from Google photo’s. Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing these cool (and somehow creepy) features. I'm sorry for your loss, I can relate :(
Thank you so much for this! I am going to try out Google Lens to see if it is a nest of honeybees or hornets that I took a picture of in a tree in the back yard the other day.
Did it work?
@@dottotech Yes, it wasn't hornets or bees, it is a fungus of some sort. Thanks! I am going to use it to identify trees and plants on my property!
I love using Google photos and I learned a couple new tips from you today. I’m working on scanning my parents old photos and was wondering if there’s some type of software like Google photos that I can use on a hard drive. I don’t want to load up my Google Photos even more. I’m already paying for storage. TIA!
I'm using a free version of Plex. It's not as freindly as I'd like but I've heard the paid version isn't much better. But it does have some features that may be interesting, like making playlists to view on your tv.
Hi! Thank you! Is it possible to share an album and then add pictures to it placing them in a chronological order? I need this to share family photos with my husbsnd, son and daughter. I do not want to br the only one keeping them. We would like to keep on adding to that album giving it a chronological order.
I'll be trying the HELL out of that Lens feature. Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for the great video. How do I stop all what's up photos are loaded in Google photo?
WOW - great as always - can you attach the results of the "identification / lens" to the photo? Or is it only temporary? 2nd question: Can google photos find dups?
I don't know of a way to add the info to a photo, and alas, no de-duplication is still not a feature.😞
Rename pic title and include the information, or if you have a few pics of the same or similar people or things then create a new album; Pics by A N Other for example.
Awesome
Hi, Dotto.
Please help, I dont have the people button on my both phone and desktop. Is there a way to activate this again? Your videos are great! Thanks!
Hey bro can i ask u if still auto adding is still working because I used to put face it will bring the photos.
How do you add photos to and existing folder/album After I select the photo
Amazing! Outstanding! Your videos are the best thing I've found on TH-cam ever! Love the way you use graphics, text highlights and summary recaps.
Thank you so much 😀
I had to give you a thumbs-down I'm on the only one that realizes that you can't delete photos but you can sure buy more space
I just uploaded all my photos last night. I had tons of house idea photos mixed in. I separated them out to an album, but they still show in the main timeline also. Is there a way to hide them on the timeline, or delete them, and have them stay in the folder I labeled houses?
Beautiful dog is huge in your background
Any suggestions on a workflow to download a dozen years of Google Photos (over 50GB) and retiring the files in a usable format? I want to retain all of the metadata too (original dates etc).
LOVE YOU videos-- what kind of phone do you have?
iPhone 13 Pro Max...the bigger the better :-)
Good channel! I am currently going through the same ‘ordeal’ where my Maya (goldendoodle) pops up and that isn’t good right now 💔
Hello, please for an advice..i am desperous.. CAN I move a whole album in my android galery at once to my specified album on google photo
If you want to show someone an imbedded photograph that may possibly be turned into a framed photograph for the wall can you do that in Google Photos? Does a viewer have a way to download the full size image that can be taken to the store to print? What I do now is use Google mail to imbed images with attached full size files.
... I have a second question, due to this video being so good. Many of us have multiple Gmail accounts, for various reasons, in my case that's in addition to a G-Suite account. All these accounts want to sync' to prevent exploitation of the (total) storage capacity allocation for any individual. My question is how do you deal with the subsequent duplication of images on a desktop PC. It's gotten to the point where it doesn't make any difference if i delete all the video's, my primary gmail storage account remains maxed out. Do you think Google do this to force the purchase of additional storage space? (edited to correct "of")
So, if I share photos with someone with a Google account. Does that eat into their google storage space? Or does that just allow them to view tagged images within my storage space?
