I’m super excited to share with you the first app released by Canon Innovation Lab – Jumpshot. We soft launched in Canada several weeks ago and are now bringing Jumpshot to our friends in the US :)
Imagine trying to organize your photo collection in the days before digital photography. Remember those days? First, you’d start by dumping your collection of photos on a table. Then you’d pick up the photos one by one. If a photo was good, you’d put it in the ‘keep’ pile. If it wasn’t, you’d put it in the ‘toss it’ pile. Today, with the swipe of a thumb, we’ve brought that same simple process to digital photo libraries. With Jumpshot, you’re left with the memories that really matter—and that’s when you can start to do incredible things with your photo collections.
Jumpshot is built by an incredible team here at Canon Innovation Lab where we are focused on creating amazing post-capture experiences that live between the moment you take a picture and the lifetime you spend enjoying it.
We’re eager to hear what the community thinks and happy to answer any questions about the app or our process.
@mattwiechec Oh wow Matt & Team ha I didn't realize Cannon had a Lab this is interesting.
How long have you guys been working on this ( how big/diverse is the team )....been waiting for you guys to innovate a bit cough make lens for mobile computing devices...is this a new direction of some sort...what's the end goal given your "parents" are worth billions and have been innovating for like 80 years.
Btw I'd love to collaborate with you guys on something I'm working on it's in the similar space, a by product to compliment our AI driven camera app team built that has 250,000 users... ping me: nick@questmobile.co
@nicholassheriff Hey Nick. Thanks for the feedback!
The Canon Innovation Lab was founded in 2014 as small team of three (checkout www.canonlabs.io). We are currently nine people, four working on Jumpshot and the rest working on new products. Most of the team is listed as makers on this page if you want to connect with the team :)
I wouldn't say there's an "end goal" for the lab. In a company as big as Canon, this is our attempt to take a lean, startup like approach to new product development.
Would love to talk about collaboration. Sending you an email now.
Great to see the Canon Innovation Lab in Communitech put together something for photographers and enthusiasts alike! I know a lot of hard work and dedication went into creating this, so kudos to the team. Looking forward to using this and other products that will come out of the lab in the near future.
@tj thanks Taylor. Feel free to email us with any suggestions or ideas at hello at canonlabs.io
Report
This is a good app. I took a screenshot of my space usage before starting and am going to take another once I get through my 5000+ images. I’m a few hundred in and already had an excuse to see lots of 2 year old pictures and also delete a bunch of fuzzy garbage.
relive some old photos while organizing and getting rid of shitty ones. Do this while feeling like you are on Tinder (which means you can swipe left on all those pics of that ex you hate and don't want to see again).
@tomflemming Not yet, but soon! We have a great testing community that you can sign up for on our website if you'd like to try Jumpshot out. Let us know if you're interested.
Congratulations on you launch!
This is very useful and I definitely appreciate the clean interface and ease of use.
It would be great if you had a similar desktop app so that we can quickly pick/tag photos before importing into LR for processing.
@jsbotto would you want to actually use a keyboard and mouse on your desktop or be able to choose a desktop folder on your Mac or PC right in the source dropdown in Jumpshot?
Report
@mattscobel I love the swipe left/right, but for a desktop app keyboard shortcuts are also needed. I'd say those actions would either mark the photo as approve/reject in its metadata (so that LR can act upon it), or delete/favorite if the user prefers that option.
@jsbotto that's an interesting idea. I wonder if we could write this same info to the metadata from the mobile app as well. @evilnotsogenius can you put that in the queue?
@evilnotsogenius@mattscobel now if only the mobile app could do this to the raw files (wink wink). Maybe show the jpeg for the app to stay fluid, but if a cr2 exists with the same name then tag both?

unfortunately it's not available in Switzerland...
@jonas_petermann We hope to be in more territories soon. If you go to our website, you can sign up as a beta tester and and see some of the new features we are working on!
