It’s a rethink of how people manage their photo library on a Mac, something that’s been iPhoto’s home turf for more than a decade. It’s the final piece in a plan that Apple unveiled last June, and one that both fixes and unifies a patchwork system it rolled out in 2011.
And if that company’s been Apple, you’ve basically been a guinea pig in a good idea that was hastily ( and poorly) executed.Īpple might have just fixed that for Mac users with the new Photos app.
But storing and organizing them all in different places still manages to be an experience filled with gotchas, and one that varies wildly depending on what companies you’ve sworn allegiance to with your phone and computer. One of the biggest problems right now is what to do with all our photos.
