    All Devices Is Editing In Apple Photos Much Better In iOS 13?

    I currently edit my mobile photos in Lightroom for iOS. I would consider switching to editing in Apple's Photos app, especially now that iOS 13 introduces white balance and tint adjustments (what took so long?). The photo filters, however, still feel like they came straight out of a 2010 version...

    Since I installed Beta 1, and carrying over to Beta 2, when I try to share a gif file via Facebook Messenger or Messages (to non-iMessage users), the image doesn't go through as an animated gif, and instead only sends a static image of the first slide of the gif. If I send the same gif file to...

    Weekly Photo contest - 27th to 3rd of June - Birds and the Bees

    So as @Laird Knox is busy getting some wonderful shots somewhere it falls to me to set this weeks theme.

    iPhone X Problem downloading photos IphoneX

    I have an IphoneX and a mid 2009 MacbookPro with upgraded Ram.

I am guessing it has to do with the amount...
