iPhoto was unreliable and one of the worst major photo apps, so "vast improvement" over it doesn't say much.
Being locked to iCloud, which is also a very poor cloud service is not a great benefit, either. Does anyone know if iPhoto works with other cloud services?
What about Faces? I know some folks, including myself, who have put a decent amount of time in getting face tagging to be accurate, and would hate for that feature to go away - especially thinking about facebook integration.
I'll be interested to see what options are present for uploading the 20 GB+ of photos that I have into the cloud. I'd love for them to be backed-up and accessible on all of my devices everywhere. Today they are all local.
iCloud has been vastly improved. It handles email, music and now photos with aplomb; better than any 3rd party service. Even the apps that support it work great.
Does the library require to be on a formated Mac hard drive? Or can I use any hard drive (or server) to host the library? Only problem I had with iPhoto. I want to use my freenas to hold the library. That way it's backed up and can be accessed anywhere.
Huh, pretty cool.
iPhoto has always been the most confusing thing about OS X for me. I just don't understand how to properly utilize it, or why it's so clunky. It always seemed so un-Apple to me.

icloud import? It's in the app preferences.Where is the progress bar when importing?
That's what iCloud Photo Library is for.
Eh, not really impressed, they should have a separate storage option that allows you to allocate storage for backups, so that you can keep stuff (recoverable)past the 30/30 day window.http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6378 said:How does iCloud delete photos and videos from iCloud Photo Library?
Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album. Photos are backed up on our servers for up to 30 days after they're deleted from the Photos app. If you need to recover these photos during that time, contact Apple Support.
