I linked these calendars with Mylio when I set it up for the first time, and now those events pop up in the photo calendar next to the corresponding images. On those calendars are some very big events: weddings, birthdays, a couple of vacations, and a handful of family get-togethers. I’ve got a whole collection of Google Calendars spanning back to my college days. One of the advantages of using an actual calendar interface is the ability to link it with your existing calendars and see it all in the same visual format. Linking existing calendars to your photo library Instead, I learned to either click Calendar while in Calendar to get back to year view, or to use the minimalistic little arrow in the top left corner of Mylio to move back one step at a time: image, day, month, year.
(Which is actually a really great feature, if you think about it, but not helpful if you want to go back to a broader view.) I quickly learned that when you click over to All Photos or People and click back to Calendar, it opens your Life Calendar back to exactly where you had it open. When I went deep into the calendar view for the first time, down to a specific day, I had trouble trying to get back to year view. Now, that photo will be the first one you see associated with whatever events it appears in. It’s easy to set up, just right click your image, go to Set Cover and select Event. (More on events in a moment.) That way, when I’m showing off Mylio to friends, I don’t have to share the raw stuff unless I feel like it. Since I’ve got a lot of toddler photos (and a lot of images shot from the same, unflattering angle for some reason) I’ve taken to selecting photos to serve as event covers. Mylio is an extremely smart program, but it doesn’t differentiate family photos with double chins and nose-picking toddlers from the more put-together shots in your library without a little help. It’s like seeing the important moments from your life spread out in front of you.

In addition to a better user experience for finding photos chronologically, it’s a lot more fun to explore and be surprised by your own memories, rather than clicking a series of computer files open and closed. Oh, yeah! This happened just a couple of weeks before the shower because I bought the gift at that outlet mall nearby.
If none of the baby shower photos appear in the monthly view, I might see photos from, say, a day at the beach that happened shortly before. For example, if I wanted to find photos of a friend’s baby shower from a few years ago but couldn’t remember for sure what month it happened, I could just pull up the correct year and see all the photos I took in the form of a monthly calendar.
The thing that’s missing there is the ability to trigger memories by seeing them. It’s a good system, but for very visual people like myself, it’s better for storage than actually experiencing and enjoying your family photography. When you do so chronologically in that format, you have year folders, which break down into month folders, which break down into event or day folders. In this article I laid out an example workflow for organizing files and photos in folders on your computer. It goes beyond the “endless scroll” approach to provide an interactive photo calendar experience, so that you can access images chronologically and visually–and significantly faster than you would with the standard camera roll. Mylio’s answer to this is the Life Calendar.
#Mylio brochures how to
It’s not a perfect method, but everyone knows how to find the photo they need by looking for the approximate time period it occurred - it just might take a while. We’re used to scrolling back (and back… and back…) until the right day, month, or year pops up.
Many of us look for memories chronologically. Each family member accessing the library may have a unique way of doing so, with the same end result: important memories and family history are accessed, experienced, and enjoyed on demand. That’s why there are so many different ways to navigate the system. Mylio understands that, in order to access important memories through a family photo library, we need to be able to find those family photos in a way that makes sense to our individual thought processes. Others think in details - geographic locations, for example. Some of us think in terms of people we see a face in our minds and navigate to our memories using the feelings that face triggers. When it comes to memories, everyone’s brain works a little differently. Description: Tired of digging through your computer to find the family photos you want? Mylio’s interactive Life Calendar makes it easy to see what you’re looking for, right away.
