    Always saved as "thumbnail".

    I am trying to free up some space on my 2018 15" Mac Book Pro as I keep getting reminders that my disk space is getting low. I thought quick way was to move all my 700+ photos on to my external 1Tb hard drive. Every time I do this they are only saved on the hard drive as little 200-300Kb...

    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.

    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.
