    App to create a PDF catalog from Photos

    From time to time I have used either Pages or iPhoto to create a simple catalog of selected photos from my iPhoto library with maybe 6 photos per page. This has become more tedious now that I have converted to Photos. Is there a Mac App that will do this is a similar way to pages but with added...

    "Taken on this day" Photo Notifications

    I hope this is posted in the right place. I'm a fan of Facebook's "memories" or "taken on this day" photo notifications where it'll show a photo you've posted x number of years ago. It's a really great use of photos posted, I think. Instead of never seeing them again, you see them every year on...

    Problem with timestamps in Photos

    I've got a problem with photos & videos that I've imported from my Ipad to my Mac with Photos. The problem (with some files) is that Photos shows the correct time & date when they where created (i.e. when the button was pushed). But when I check the same files in Finder (in Show package...

    Memories Discussion

    There has been a little talk here and there about the new Memories feature, and I was curious to hear about other people's experiences with it so far. I think it's a great addition to the Photos app, and the instant content creation is a great tool for the average consumer that either doesn't...

    photo recovery

    Hello, I recently learned how to upload my photos to icloud and then deleted the photos from my device. The photos were still on my icloud, but no longer taking up space on my phone as wished.

    People vs. Faces in Photos

    Are these two the same concept but re-branded and resold under a new moniker? And if so, has anyone found that their existing Faces that they've spent so much time categorizing gets carried over to the People part of the new MacOS/iOS systems? I'm sorting out People now on my iPhone and it is an...

Is anyone else seeing...

    Apple Photos Optimize

    Hi iOS 10 users, Just wondering if Apple has improved the way in which Photos optimizes storage ? Currently photos waits until your storage is almost empty before it begins optimizing the storage, but this seems to be really buggy or just doesn't work at all. Have Apple changed the way in...

    Camera Roll: The 'catch-all' folder for all iPhone images

    This is an issue which has been bugging me for ages but I can't find a solution... Why are all my photos, videos, downloaded images from the net, Facebook memes and other app photos all saved to the 'Camera Roll' folder? Is there a way to keep these images separate, especially downloaded...

    I have an iPad Pro that I love to take places to edit photos. I currently use Lightroom on both the Pro and my MacBook. I'm not super happy about a subscription fee. Does anyone use something else to manage their photos? Thanks!
