I've been using Adobe Photoshop galleries for some of my photography. Recently I got notified that Adobe is replacing Photoshop.com with "Adobe Revel" and they automatically moved my galleries over for me. I went to check it out and was shocked at how bad they messed up a good thing. I went and talked to some support reps in the chat forums and confirmed some disturbing omissions from the product.

First, there is no public URL for your gallery. NONE. You can go into individual albums and generate a temporary link to post to facebook or email, but it only goes to a specific gallery. There is no way to send someone to your main landing page for all your albums as one would expect. You couldn't say, put a URL on a business card because there is no URL for your site, and the auto-generated URLs are not guaranteed to be permanent.

Second, there are a lot of features built into a desktop plugin/app, that can't be done on the website. However there is NO WINDOWS support. I guess they wanted to exclude 4/5 of the computer owning population.

Same story with the phone apps where there is no Android support other than a bulk uploader.

And to top it off, there is no way to delete your account at this time.

So now I have an awesome gallery that can't work with my computer, my phone, my tablet, has no URL for people to find it and I can't get rid of it either. And they are going to delete photoshop.com in a month. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Another reason NEVER to put confidence in a cloud solution, some of them even claim some rights to use your photo's without compensation.
To bad for you.
Can you delete all your pics?
