    iPad Pro New iPad 12.9 8GB Ram - Lightroom stuttering when editing

    Hey Gang, Like a lot of you, I got my the new iPad 12.9 256GB yesterday. As most of you are aware by now, anything less than the 1TB model has 8GB RAM, and 1TB and above has double (16gb). I was working on Lightroom last night, editing a raw photo (about 350MB), and when making edits in...

    Finding duplicate images via raw data in file on my macbook pro

    Hi, I have various versions of images (screenshots I made) in a file on my mac. I need to find the duplicates by the original data, like when the screenshot / image was actually first taken. The reason for this is that later file names were changed due to adding them (and editing them) to photos...

    iPad New to MacOS: Photo order syncing problem on iPad

    So, I read comic books on my iPad by syncing folders containing images from an established directory on my desktop.

    iCloud Advice

    I sync my iPhone photos on iCloud. It's very convenient most of the time. However, I take videos which can be quite lengthy... sometimes an hour long. I often AirDrop videos onto my MBP for editing in FCP, which works quickly enough most of the time. However, it can take a very long time for...

    Photos help: "People will finish updating when Photos is in the background."

    I saw a couple of old abandoned threads on this, so hope it's ok to post here now. I spend some time yesterday (on my M1 MBA) scanning in some old photos and identifying a lot of the names and faces and cleaning up some multiple names. (I already had the majority of faces in my library...

    No Longer Can Find Photos Based on Keyword with Big Sur

    I used to add keywords to my photos with Picasa and then later with Adobe Bridge. I then used to be able to search for them in Finder with those same keywords. After upgrading to Big Sur (from Mojave) it seems that I can no longer find photos with keywords alone. Is this normal?

    Hello! I'm having a problem with the photos app. I had an iPhone 8+ and 100GB or so of photos and videos, maybe more. Yesterday I bought an iPhone 12 and chose to transfer the data from my old phone to the new one. It sent all of my old photos and videos to the iPhone 12. Unfortunately, my...

    Keep only the filtered photo in Camera app

    I have set the camera app taking photos with "vivid" filter and in the settings under "Preserve setrings" the "Creative controls" so I take all pictures with "vivid" filter. It's okay for me. But I realized its size takes double of storage because the camera app saves two versions: the original...

    Mail App - view attachments as icons?

    Is there any way I can setup the mail app or the Big Sur OS itself, so that the attachments, be that photo, or a pdf containing a photo remains as a thumbnail? I can't seem to figure out a way to do this. This is how it looks now.

    How to transfer photos to iPhone 12 from Samsung Galaxy S9

    I'm making the switch from Android to iPhone, but I can't transfer my old photos without losing their metadata. When I transfer them over, the photos' dates get changed to the date of transfer, and I lose the photos' location data altogether. I still have the old phone (Samsung Galaxy S9)...

    Creating, Editing, & Sharing Memories on Mac OS Big Sur?

    I recall in Catalina that you used to be able to edit and share Memories within the Photos app on Mac; similar to how you are able to on iPhone and iPad. However, I'm unable to find the same tools/ menu items that existed in the previous OS. Is this just me? A glitch of some sort? Seems like now...
