I'm in that program but there are no updates for me yet!
Nor me either, where are people who have it showing up in the public beta program? Sometimes there's a link to the update also?
My first impressions are positive. I like the clean interface and its responsiveness.
My only issues are:
My only issues are:
- There are no ratings anymore. They have been converted to tags. You can mark a picture as a favorite though.
- There is no way to tell which pictures have been uploaded to the cloud and which are still pending.
I've been using Aperture since it cost $499. It's been almost 10 years.
If you can't see how an operating system level library with extensions opens up doors to unlimited types of workflows, then you lack creativity.
A metadata extension for example could add pro level file management to Photos that isn't available or necessary in the base app. An auto importer could help professionals who work with thousands of photos.
How about this for a workflow? You're out in the field, you take photos, unload them via WiFi to your iPhone and you do some sorting and start editing on your way back to the studio. Once there, you get on your Mac and continue editing. You get to a photo that needs a little more TLC so you pick up your iPad, send the photo to Pixelmator via its extension and find all the tools including layers that you need to make your photo look amazing. You run down to your local coffee shop and do some final polishes while you wait for your client to arrive. Together you make a few more adjustments and you AirDrop the photos to her iPhone. She taps her iPhone against yours to pay you via ApplePay, you shake hands and you're wrapped up.
Try to do that in Aperture.
As a potential client, if I knew you edited on an iPhone and an iPad i'd be walking out the door. That would tell me everything I needed to know about the quality and care you give a client.
I'm enjoying the new Photos app but am supremely disappointed that edits from iOS aren't syncing. I use a mixture of photo editing extensions and iOS stock editing tools to edit every photo.
Photos.app has pulled them across unedited and uncropped. Same with iCloud Photos on the web.
If I wanted that I wouldn't have taken the time to edit and crop every photo.
Surely this is a bug? How can I report this?

How can I report this?I'm in the public beta program under my own account and our family account.. Shows up on my iMac, and have downloaded.. Not shown up on my Mac mini. Cant work it out ?
Any ideas ?

Since updating I've been unable to connect my wireless earphones (Jaybirds Bluebirds X) to my Macbook, when I attempt to play sound to them they disconnect. I will be restoring to Time Machine backup.
This suggests that maybe some Bluetooth-related changes have been made in this update..

I can't see this version being any use to me.
Whilst I am just an amateur photographer, the apparent lack of an effects brush simply won't do.
If brush support is added, and features like lens/perspective* correction is added, that's when I'll start looking at it.
* Even my super-expensive wide-angle can do with a bit of correction from time to time

Except, all that you say was already there with iPhoto and Aperture. And it didn't happen. The RAW converter was already part of the OS. All iPhoto and Aperture libraries were already available to other programs. What you describe was already possible on the existing framework and applications. It didn't happen. Why would it happen now?
"If I were a client and I knew you edited on a personal computer instead of in a dark room, I'd be walking out the door".
1995 called, they want you back.
Sorry to be skeptical, but I haven't seen a single pro-level extension, or even the announcement of one from the usual suspects. As it is, Photos appears to be severely gimped (no pun intended) to the point of being unusable.
I admire your, uh, enthusiasm but until I see anything concrete, I'm calling BS.
Considering it's been less than 24 hours since the release of the beta to developers I'm not too surprised with that.
Anyone know what the menu option for "File > Consolidate" does? I'm too scared to click it haha, worried I might screw up my photo sorting or something.
It doesn't "hide" them, but there is no easy way to find a photo outside of the app. There is a complex file structure on disk corresponding to your photos, and it's not obvious what photos are what. iPhoto is the same way.

According to the release notes, there are a couple ways this could happen:
- edited images on iOS may not show their changes in Photos until you open each changed photo in Edit mode within photos.
- Additionally, the release notes say that syncing does not work well between iOS 8.1.3 and Photos. They recommend using the 8.2 Beta on your phone if you intend to test Photos.
