I love the app, just wish it was as fast as they show i the Review videos...When I take a picture, it takes about 2-3 minutes to show up from my phone to my mac...unlike the Review video which show things happening almost instant..
I don't think so...I didn't check the menu, but I couldn't edit location at all on Photos within the application; it only displayed the existing location in the info box.
I haver a question about iPhoto library. Currently, I share my iMac with my dad, who uses iPhoto to manage his overseas holiday photos (I myself never touch the app). We use the same account / login and all for convenience.
Will iPhoto still be left around as a separate, standalone app? I don't want my dad merging his personal photos into my own photo collection.
Import anything that hasn't been imported and then go to Image Capture to delete all the phones from your camera roll.
Thanks - how do I get to 'Image Capture'?
...it's quite limiting. The inability to add geolocation info is odd...
The inability to add geotags seems to be the big show stopper. I realize this is version 1 of the software and a lot of its shortcomings will be addressed in later versions, but this is something so basic, it's crazy that it's not a feature.
Version after version of the beta has been released with no apparent addition to features (only bug fixes), so it looks like it's a no go any time soon.
Yep, my confidence in this software is very shaky. It's missing a lot so far.
I think I'm going to just use Photos for iPhone pictures for now, and stick with Aperture for my "serious" photography with "real cameras". It's easy enough to export RAWs into JPGs to import into Photos, so I can enjoy all my photos on my phone without having to depend on Photos for cataloging my important photography.
Of course I need to switch away from Aperture soon; Lightroom will likely be it. There's just not much very good software in this space.
I am thinking the same. I certainly could do without some of Aperture's advanced features for a time. I really don't want to use Lightroom.
I'm wondering: Do you think there is a way to do the heavy lifting in Aperture and import photos bit by bit (e.g., one Event at a time) until Photos becomes more solid? Is that even possible?
Are any of you using this with a "referenced " iPhoto library?
Synching without confirmation is just crazy. It mixed porn with my family photos.
I find it unpleasant to browse photos and thumbnails on a paper-white, 100% brightness background. Even Apple's own Aperture presented things on a darker background, and even the Photos app itself darkens the UI when you edit!
I migrated my Aperture library and left the photos where they were - on the filesystem (ie referenced). In Photos, turn off the option to "Copy items to the photo library".They need to have selective synching. As it stand now its all your photos to the cloud or none of them. I don't want 3,000 photos on my phone (even optimized). I'd like to just have my FAVORITES go to the cloud. How hard could that be to implement?
