Especially if you wanted to keep those photos on your iPhone for later viewing.Р”Р„nd so, I tried cloud services, like the now-acquired Loom and Picturelife. When you're taking hundreds of photos a month, that meticulous management becomes maddening, and eventually impossible without extra hours in the day.

That all, unsurprisingly, went out the window when the iPhone came into my life. There are new special smart albums, including Timelapse, Favorites, Slo-mo, and Bursts they automatically collect images and video from those categories for your perusal. Apple's face-recognition algorithm, Faces, has been reimagined as a special sort of smart album, and sports all the same features (and bugs) as its iPhoto predecessor. Smart Albums and nested folders are at your beck and call, ready for you to organize accordingly. The moments, collections, and years view is fun, but where Photos for OS X showcases its power is in Albums. But for the vast majority of users -Р’В beginner to prosumer alikeР’В - Photos for OS X is more than enough for your photo management needs. It's got a long way to go before it's ever going to be Aperture -Р’В and honestly, Apple may be ready to cede the true pro-editing market to Adobe and the like. They've taken lessons from those launches, and Photos for OS X actually sports a surprisingly robust feature-set. The Photos team could have followed the iMovie '08 or iWork template and gutted the program to its core for this redesign, leaving out all features but the essential ones -Р’В but they deliberately chose not to. But just because the Photos for OS X interface is simplified, that doesn't mean it's lost its underlying power.
