IPHOTO LIBRARY MANAGER REVIEW PLUS

iPhoto's 'Export Original' is just that, the original file, not the original plus added metadata.Įnter Lightroom. And one could not apply these metadata 'enrichments' to the original photo file type. If you want to export your photo, with geo-tagged location, and with keywords applied then one needed to export the photo as a. However, iPhoto has a weakness when it comes to embedded metadata. IPhoto is a brilliant way to browse photos and gives great access to simple tools to crop, rotate, and apply redeye reduction. My iPhoto collection was also starting to wax big approaching 28,000 images at the time (and why not after 9 years of collecting photos). (Read large photo size and editable images.) So, I need a photo editing solution with more power than iPhoto. In the spring of 2012 I purchased a Cannon t3i and started to shoot RAW. I have seen more recent versions of iPhoto as my wife runs 10.7 and a newer version of iPhoto. In late 2013, this is considered an old version of the OS and an old version of iPhoto. and iPhoto '09 (iPhoto version 8.1.2 Build 424). I have used it since early 2004 when I purchased my first Mac. Tapping on it instantly began the syncing process of moving it between libraries.IPhoto is Apple's default photo management solution. When I selected it, the option to Move to Shared Library was presented. For instance, the above photo was stored in my personal library so there was a silhouette of a single person with a down arrow. The easiest way to do that is to open the photo and then tap the library icon on the top right corner of the screen. Move photos to your Shared Library or vice versaĪt any time you can move a photo between the libraries. The icon shows up in the top-right corner of each photo and is the silhouette of two people. I recommend turning that on (indicated by a checkmark next to it) so when you're viewing both libraries, you know which photos are private and which are shared. You'll also notice there's an option to have a Shared Library Badge show up in the Photos app. To change between albums, tap the three-dot icon in the top right corner of the Photos app and select Both Libraries, Personal Library or Shared Library. The same goes for any deletions - anything you delete from the shared album will delete it for everyone.Īlso: The one super simple but overlooked way to improve your iPhone photos You now also have a Shared Library that has all of the content that you and other members have either manually shared, or that's been curated by iCloud Photos.Īny edits made by you or someone else automatically sync to the shared album. You'll have a Personal Library that's completely private and only you can access, just as has been the case in the past. Navigating your personal and shared albumsĪfter sending the invite(s), your iCloud Photos library will be split into two. You'll then be asked if there's a specific start date you want iCloud Photos to begin looking at adding. So, in my use case, I'd select my kids, in-laws, my wife and myself as a person that should be added to the album. If you select the middle option - People and Date - then you'll be asked to select any of the faces you already have identified in your iCloud Photo Library. You'll need to decide if you want to go all out and put all of your photos and videos into the shared library, only have specific people or content captured after a certain date added, or manually select content to be added. Tap +Add Participants to pick a contact to add to the album. Remember, everyone that's part of the shared album can add, edit or delete photos and videos. You can only be a member of one shared album, which can have a total of 5 other people as members. You'll be asked to add participants that you want to invite to the album. You can find iPhone models directly from Apple starting from $449.
