“A photographer wants family to easily view his large, locally-stored photo collection on the TV without relying on his computer, and needs a simple way to tag and share photos from his server.”
“Lack of a centralized, curated archive of real-world full-resolution sample photos from various lenses and cameras to evaluate rendering, color, and character beyond technical test charts.”
