iOS 10 and OS X 10.12 to Feature Improvements to Photos App

[jmh600cbr]

Please give me back old iPhoto features like viewing a map with all geolocated photos. Also, the name iPhoto, because it's freaking impossible to Google search for help with problems when your app is named as generic as "Photos".

when googling mac apps type name.app for example: maps.app, messages.app, photos.app succeeded by the word mac it works 10/10 times

Unlimited storage akin to Google Photos

I still can't over how Photos ditched iPhoto Events. I know they're in there somewhere, but finding them ain't intuitive.

From the left sidebar in Photos, about halfway down is iPhoto Events. That's where you'll find them.

I would love the ability in the iOS Photos.app to edit the Location and Time of the photos like you can in OS X!

tried to switch to lightroom, had to stick to photos (former aperture user) because the speed is blazing fast compared to lightroom for simply scrolling through RAW photos and zooming in 100%. Thats the one thing they got right on this app.

Now all that have to do is put a decent RPM hard disk in them and maybe they'll have a useful platform.

Nice absolute nonsense garbage post. Nice contribution.

I tried that well over a year ago and found that I a much faster and more effective with Aperture. I'll be forced to do it one day, but untilI am forced, I continue to cling to Aperture.

Photos is already way better than iPhoto was...

The only thing they need to do is make a Photos Pro extension and sell it in the app store. It would replace Aperture functionality.

I am still using Aperture. I moved from iPhoto to Aperture and loved the ability to copy paste settings for a batch of photos and also the brush option for adjustments.

I was waiting to hear that Apple would release an "Aperture Bundle Extension" I'd gladly pay for that to use on the FREE app.

Photos 2.0 < Aperture

Lets hope Aperture still works fine in 10.12

 

[bladerunner2000]

Cut/paste works fine?

Regarding folders on top: no. Absolutely not. The notion that folders and files should be handled seperately is completely retarded. I've been wishing Windows would knock it off for the last twenty years.

Just so you know, .app, .pages, .key, .numbers, and many other "file types" in OS X are actually folders (called "bundles"). You can right click and open them if you'd like to browse their contents.

I don't care if you don't like it. It should be an option so I don't have to hear complaining like yours.

 

[xmichaelp]

These apps should be unbundled and not be part of the base OS. I mean, 10.12 has to have something better than this.

Why would they unbundle it? Makes no sense. Photos are essential to the OS. Everyone takes and manages photos.

You're the one who was complaining. That's all you do here.

I also want Apple to bring back colored icons in finder; considering how fruity things became with Yosemite, you'd think they would add back colored icons. It's way too uniform, and it makes it harder to quickly identify things by their look. Now I have to focus more on the label or icon itself. I know they got rid of that well before Yosemite, but it's still annoying me. Lastly, the fact that color labels are dots is the most retarded thing I've seen. The whole point of highlighting all of the text is so that the folder I highlight stands out. I couldn't care less about the meanings associated with the labels. It's also kinda stupid how you can put more than one dot on a file. What's that supposed to do? I use these labels for VISUAL purposes, not anything extra.

One of the reasons why I'm sticking with Yosemite for however long necessary as I can continue using TotalFinder (or XtraFinder).

What Apple has done to the Finder with El Capitan and third party developers is a disgusting slap to the face of everyone. I get that some people PREFER things differently but my god, make it OPTIONAL in system preferences at least!

 

[CmdrLaForge]

I still don't understand why Apple discontinued Aperture and iPhoto.

To bring us iCloud photos. Actually Flickr does just that with a tiny app that uploads your whole library and you even get 1Tb free.

 

[bladerunner2000]

You're the one who was complaining. That's all you do here.

I offer solutions. The rest of you just follow Apple's methods without any room for alternatives or compromise and complain when someone (me) offers new (better) ideas.
[doublepost=1456432197][/doublepost]

I don't get you, Apple. It appears that you're focusing on photos lately..and you can't even beat samsung's latest camera.
Give us productivity...not entertainment.

Incorrect. Apple has been focusing only on iOS and other disposable products. The desktop, laptop and OS X have all been an afterthought as Apple doesn't care about those consumers.

 

[Jupeman]

Add me to the list clinging to Aperture. Heck, I manage over 80,000 pictures with it (a tiny number compare to pros, I'm sure) and I'd consider stopping upgrading my Macs to keep using Aperture!

When I tried Photos I can't be polite about it: it sucked.

 

[OldSchoolMacGuy]

The next release of a software will be better than the last. And the next will be even better. I'm an expert now.

I still can't over how Photos ditched iPhoto Events. I know they're in there somewhere, but finding them ain't intuitive. And I miss badly the ability to group and label batches of imported photos. It seems like the obvious thing people would want to do with their photos. (Am I missing some easy way to do this in Photo?)

You can still sorta do events by making them albums. Achieves the same thing, I think.

Not good enough. What we need is a replacement for Photoshop that reads and writes all versions of Photoshop files and has all the tools of Photoshop and feels like Photoshop but better. Wait! Apple could buy Adobe and solve the problem! YES! Do Illustrator too while they're at it.

 

[nelmat]

How about improvements to the Finder? You know, like proper cut/paste commands and folders on top?

You can already do both. Sort by type - folders go to top. Copy/Paste of files and folders works just fine.

 

[MacHiavelli]

The old Pages and Numbers wiped to fit with iOS.

The old iPhotos wiped to fit with iOS.

Siri coming to Macs after years of waiting.

Photos being updated.

Commonality? ARM.

Steve said you have to own the silicon to produce really great hardware.

Macs haven't had major updates for ages. Why?

ARM Macs are coming. Apple has been closing the gap to Intel over the last few years. All these changes are part of a plan.

Bye, Intel.

Why stop there? Why not buy out Microsoft, Sony, etc. as well as your employer. Hell, just turn Apple into one giant monopoly seeing how you like them so much?

I'd spin iPad OS out from iOS and make that release on a two year cycle along with Mac OS. So iPhone, being the most popular and most replaced item would remain on its normal yearly cycle. iPad and Mac OS updates would pack a bigger punch with (hopefully) more anticipated, stable releases every couple of years, since those are slower upgrade cycles anyway. Seems like a good way to improve iPad functionality without having it so tightly coupled to the iPhone.

 

[bladerunner2000]

You can already do both. Sort by type - folders go to top. Copy/Paste of files and folders works just fine.

Sort by type displays everything separately (folders, jpg, zip, etc). Only folders should be displayed up top, everything else (files) should be together.

Anything is good. Photos is keeping me from upgrading my OSX.

 

[Steve121178]

Don't need an entire operating system update just for Photos. Just release an update to the damn app! Sick of this annual update.
