First Look: macOS Big Sur With Redesign, Safari Updates, New Messages App and More

[Mike Haas]

Huh. I haven't imported photos from my iPhone since iCloud Photos came along.

Is Image Capture still in existence in Big Sur? It's quite a great little utility for this kind of thing.

Yes it exists and Image Capture works wonderfully well for that purpose but between Image Capture and WiFi Photo, it's a 6 of 1, 1/2 dozen of the other proposition. I don't use iCloud Photos for this purpose as I take way too many crap photos and I'm really selective about what goes in my library. At other times, I import into Lightroom and that is also working at the moment. I do use iCloud to share with family.

I take a ton of crap photos too. For my workflow, I like to use iCloud photos and do my culling on my phone or Mac, whichever is handiest. Also I am paying for the 2TB plan and I’m hell bent on using as much of it as possible

I can't blame you for that at all! I suppose it might be easier to delete a ton of crap in Photos rather than on the Phone but I'm pretty good at keeping it to a dull roar on a weekly basis on the phone itself. I'd bet the minute I turned on iCloud for that purpose I'd get mighty lazy about the whole thing...

Well done Apple. There are some good changes like being able to hide the Spotlight icon easily.
