live photos

  1. tweaknmod

    To have each photo include a tiny sprinkle of live context is invaluable, in my opinion.

    Difficulty converting a Live Photo to a single image

    iPhone11Pro w iOS 15.2.1: Live Photos are a waste, but its just my opinion. I somehow shoot a LIVE Photo ever so often, my fault, my finger slips. I wish they had never been created.

    Hi there! So I've been doing some house keeping of my photo libraries. I've found that about 80% of 'Live Photos' from a roughly 1/2 year period have created their own small 2/4 second video clip alongside the live photo itself. - Ie you've see your selection of photos you can hover over that...

    Changing key photo in live photos

    In iOS 11 you can change the key photo for live photos. Are all the photos you can pick between taken in full resolution? I thought only the main frame was taken as a full res photo and that the rest was a low res video file.
