![]() It’s arguably the best solution for iPhone users.There was never a moment I didn't understand what it was doing. Generally I found it easier to get what I want, and what I’m used to in pro apps. To change the white balance I don’t have to go into the color adjustments, there’s a dedicated tab for it. I also prefer the new layout this time around. We’ve got curves for nailing exposure, and then selective color adjustments. I think this is where the new version shines. For the rest, there’s the basic photo editing built into Photos. That should cover any major retouching or editing. ![]() Unfortunately I couldn’t send a batch of photos to Photoshop for processing perhaps this feature will crop up later as it’s obviously annoying to send images one by one. Simple, easy, and no need to dive into the Photos Library. After the user edits the photo, the changes are updated in Photos. We can send single images to our favorite photo-editing apps like Photoshop or Pixelmator. We can’t compare Photos to Photoshop or Lightroom, but at least Apple’s deciding to play nice with third-party apps now. For somebody that’s never used a curves adjustment though, bringing out these to the forefront is a big change. As I’ve already said, either the pros will use it for some of their photos, or the consumer will use it for all their photos. Most of these features are available on iPhone apps, or even in the iPhone’s Photos app. I say advanced, but to you or me they arguably aren’t. It’s crazy handy to be able to pull up arbitrary images like that, but Apple’s support for this doesn’t go very far beyond facial recognition. For example, with Google, I can search “Passport” and get every photo of every passport I’ve ever taken. What I would like to see here is more than facial recognition. For example, if our buddy Jeff is wearing a purple jumper all day, and we get his face in a couple shots, then we can hedge our bets that we’re still looking at Jeff when his head is turned awkwardly. Part of their AI tech relies on the surrounding images. This means that they’re not sending any data back to Apple, which is an amicable result for sure. Unlike Google Photos though, Apple Photos does this computing locally. Apple finally gotten this right and it’s going to make scrolling back through thousands of photos a thing of the past. Now, I’d say they’re on par (although I haven't put it under too much stress). It was largely better than the competition and did a decent amount of legwork in categorizing photos. Before, I preferred Google Photos attempt at facial recognition. With organization at the heart of this Photos update, we’re getting a different beast. Photos is built to tackle your massive barrage of iPhone snaps sent via iCloud. iPhoto was meant for your family vacation or school graduation. While we can compare it to iPhoto, which I used to love, that’s not the point anymore. We're looking at an app that will appeal to iPhoto and Aperture fans more than anything else. ![]() I can’t say that it’s not professional enough, but I can appreciate that Apple are attempting to meld these two markets together. It does what it’s meant to do, and caters to prosumers as well as your mom and dad.
