I'm getting ready to flip this over! #PESummit25

@GooglePEProgram @imcrystalhorton And if you're going to Zürich, don't forget to add your travel details to the Google Form, so you'll be able to see who else is going. You never know, there might be another PE on the same flight as you! See you next week. Don't know what I'm talking about? Get in touch!😀

Got Swag? PES24 Connect swag kits are en route for Europe! Check out what @imcrystalhorton received 👀 Which items are your favorite? #PESummit24

@Masonicmoron Definitely! I have to say that it was a fantastic event - but aren't they always? I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again already. 😀

Anyone else have post #PESummit23 blues?

@GooglePEProgram I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone next month and hearing the latest news. If you're going to the Summit and haven't added your travel details, there's still lots of space on the PE spreadsheet! Please DM me if you'd like to know more.

Can you believe it? We are officially 1 MONTH away from our global Product Experts Summit in London! What are you looking forward to the most? Be sure to post your excitement between now and the event and include #PESummit23 for the chance to receive a prize 👀

@PeggyKTC Sorry I only managed to get to one of them... 😢

@chrisguld @PeggyKTC @NinaTrankova @jolynbowler @BrigitteUras @jim_guld @MailLadyMartha @MarkBarrusHypno @mygeigermeister Many thanks, @chrisguld and #OnEBoardChat

Thank you very much for participating in our #OnEBoardChat about #GooglePhotos with @PeggyKTC @NinaTrankova @jolynbowler @BrigitteUras @jim_guld @pwhittic @MailLadyMartha @MarkBarrusHypno @mygeigermeister Stay tuned for our next #TwitterChat on next Sunday #OnEBoardChat

@NinaTrankova @chrisguld That's a reasonable number of bottles of wine, @NinaTrankova !

@chrisguld A3: Google Photos favorite tool is a long list☀️ I love the collage done in sec. I often use Extract Frame 🖼️ from video when I was filming vs capturing a particular moment. I just made this one from Sunday 's trip #googlepphotos #OnEBoardChat

#OnEBoardChat Q3: Google Photos includes a full set of basic editing tools for Free accounts and some pretty special tools for Google One subscribers. How do you edit your photos? Have you tried Magic Eraser? #GooglePhotos

@chrisguld Hmm. More haste, less speed, Patrick. Can you give us some more info. about these tools?

@chrisguld I didn't realise that Google One subscribers have access to more tools. Can you give us some of these tools? I've got an embarrassingly large number of Google accounts, one of which has Google One, so I might need to have a play! #OnEBoardChat #googlephotos

@chrisguld And to add to your gif question (!): I often create folders (most of the photos are from my 'real' camera), but love that I can search by date, person, etc.

@chrisguld <Sigh> I really must play around more with the app!

A3: A favorite tool of mine is the Adjustment for Shadows, you can increase the light in the shadows without washing out the whole photo. This is one of the free tools. #OnEBoardChat #GooglePhotos

@chrisguld As mentioned earlier, I tend to d/load DNG files from my phone; however, I HAVE used Magic Eraser, and found it mind-blowing! Fortunately my d/top s/ware also includes a version of this, so I can always lose people... :-)

@chrisguld @MailLadyMartha $20 per year - you lucky lady! Because I'm a legacy Google Workspace user, I can't get the benefits of Google One, so pay £79 per year...

@MailLadyMartha That makes me sad Martha. Yes, it was fantastic when it was 100% free, but having all my photos in one place is SO worth $20/year - I gladly pay. #OnEBoardChat

#OnEBoardChat Q2: Google Photos’ mission is to be one home for your lifetime of photos. Do you care? How do you keep track of all your photos? Or are you not concerned with any but the recent ones? #GooglePhotos

@chrisguld "Or are you not concerned with any but the recent ones?" It's probably the reverse for me - I love my older photos - places I might not go to again, people I won't see, etc.

@PeggyKTC @chrisguld Peggy, how are you scanning them? I often use the PhotoScan app, but interested to know if there are better ones around.

@chrisguld A2 I love having all my photos in one place, especially with facial recognition and Google Photos search. I have been slowly scanning and uploading older photos. #OnEBoardChat

@chrisguld It's a bit of a messy procedure, and often my edited pics aren't as good as the JPGs direct from the phone...

@chrisguld A2: very, VERY important. I take many more photos using a 'proper' camera, which I upload to Google Photos albums. Because my Pixel allows me to take pics in DNG format, I'm then able to edit them in photo-editing software (ON1), and then upload those photos to the same album.

@PeggyKTC @jolynbowler @chrisguld I tend to edit my photos on my desktop (ON1 software). I take my photos in JPG and DNG format, so download the DNGs to edit if needed.

@jolynbowler @chrisguld Do you edit your photos on desktop? I find the editor tools are more comprehensive in the mobile app, but it would be nice to use a big screen. #OnEBoardChat

#OnEBoardChat Q1: If you have an iPhone or a Samsung, there is a native photo gallery app that is the default. If you also have Google Photos, do you use Google Photos as your primary app, or just as a backup? #googlephotos

@chrisguld I'm a Pixel fan, so it's Google Photos for me. I'm also interested in hearing about what other apps include.

A1: I want to do my editing using Google Photos, not the native apps for iPhone or Samsung. So I avoid viewing photos from the camera app because that opens the native app. Instead, I close the camera and then open Google Photos. #OnEBoardChat #googlephotos

@chrisguld It's perhaps worth mentioning that I've got so many photos that I have to pay Google a small ransom each year for 1Tb of space...

@chrisguld I'm joining from the sunny North Essex (UK) area. :-) I really like Google Photos, and used to use Picasa a LOT. #googlephotos #OnEBoardChat
