Google Photos Integration

I am thinking of an integration / sync of sorts with Google Photos. I've loads of photos I want to apply the Luminar magic to.

Now that the Library has been implemented, it would be nice to add Google Photos as a library item and then sync the photos (ideally cache the thumbnails and refresh periodically/manually). Browse through the photos and with a simple click load the original for editing, save it to local drive / upload to Google Photos as a copy. 

Please share your thoughts.

    I like the idea.

    I have used Gogle Picasa until I switched to Luminar 3. My first wish was just to upload the albums to Google Photo (add additional Share option), but your idea goes far behind. We all make a lot of photos with smartphone and it would be great if we could have such workflow.

    I vote for it.

    Would be great. Since there is a api from google this could work.

    I also vote for it.

    Please add integration with Google Photos. I mainly use my iPhone for photography and the images are uploaded to Google Photos. However, I still use my "real" camera whose photos get uploaded to my hard drive. As it stands I have photos in two locations. I am transitioning from Adobe Lightroom.

    I also make photos with the smartphone and now edit them in Snapseed, but that has only an app which is tedious if you need to work on 100s of photos. I'm looking for an application that can directly access google photos and write edited pictures back. I have no local storage anymore and way too many photos to sync them to a local drive. I'm not expecting Lightroom to do this as Adobe has its own storage cloud (which is way more expensive than google's).

    Yes please

    I use Google Photo to show friends and family pictures on a smartphone without lugging the laptop around. I know they won't be the hi-res versions but that is OK to show on a smaller screen. Plus, you get unlimited storage for standard photos, happy days.

    BTW - sync would be an awsome addition. I too use the phone as a 'second' camera (they say the best camera is the one you've got with you) so being able to see those within luminar and the edits go back would be awesome.

    Thanks to the OP for the suggestion.

    Yes, ability to export photos to Google Photos straight from Luminar would be great. I store all my photos on Google Photos.
