photos app

My wife has an iPhone X with a photo library stored in iCloud Photos of roughly 140,565 photos, 2,340 videos taking up about 655 GB. The photos are set to “Optimize iPhone Storage” and there is 64 GB of free space on the device. She is having issues with apps that access her photos. When...

So for some reason years ago when I was exporting my RAW files to jpeg's, I decided to do them at varying lower resolutions since displays were not capable of much higher. Now I would like to export full resolution files. I have been doing faces and tagging in the Photos/iCloud photos. Is...

Anyone else using LightRoom CC as an alternative to Apple Photos? I have been a bit intrigued lately with decoupling from iCloud without going to Microsoft or Google. Anyone else attempting to replace photos with Lightroom. (LightRoom CC is a slimmed down version of Ads Lightroom Classic...

Today we took some photos with my iPhone X. When looking back, I can’t find them in the camera roll/Photos app. I could see them however via the camera app. But after a while they were gone there too. There is one photo left that I can see in the Photos app via Photos -> Years -> Places, but the...

Hi all. I recently bought an MBP in addition to my previous iMac. Having both is great, but it has been quite tricky to manage my files between the two computers. Of interest, I have not found a good way to manage my photos. Previous (when I was only using iMac), I used Photos to store and...

If I set a photo as a background image from the Photos App, the quality is degraded. For eg. a super high quality 5000x3000 13MB gradient image looks color banded when done in this way. But if it's set a background image from the file itself in Finder, it's perfect. What am I doing wrong here...

I have a Photos.app photo library on my Mac which is about 178GB. I had this successfully synced with iCloud until a couple of months back when it stopped syncing properly. To fix this, I tried disabling iCloud Photo Library (on all my devices), but rather than delete all the photos from my...

Could somebody please shed some light on these matters... About 3-4 years ago my photos went berzerk. I'm not exactly sure, when it happened, but in any case I didn't have any appropriate hard drive backup with which I could have fixed this problem. I mean I had some, but they didn't help in...

I have an iPhoto library that contains about 65,000 images. I rely heavily on iPhoto's proprietary features, and have been since I started using the first version of iPhoto when Apple released it well over a decade ago. Apple's concept of a well-designed "digital shoebox" has proven itself...

Hi ;) Is anyone else seeing performance issues with the Photos app in High Sierra? My Mac is so slow when the Photos app is open, that I nearly can't use it. All the face detection and syncing of the 5000 pics in my iCloud Library is over and done. I've set the format to the new size saving...

Has anyone figured out how to ADD new people to the "People" album in the Photos app? I've let it run with the power connected to the point where I no longer get the "Scanning photos.." message at the bottom. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to add new people to this album.

My iPhone Camera Roll has over 70,000 pics/vids that were somehow synced from my Photos app. Mind you this phone is only 64GB. Hell no it can fit all those files in there. I don't know how or why it took all my pics and vids from my Photos app from my iMac, but it definitely slows down my phone...

I'm extremely tired about OSX Photos; basically i cannot move the Photos Library to external network disk, like a NAS (the only way it's to create an image and i will lost the possibility to import these photos with itunes). I also want to avoid to pay iCloud for having got my photos in the...

This is a question to everyone that has deployed iOS11 beta. My concern is that Faces may sync during the beta period but then need to resync after full release. Also, does anyone know how iCloud handles Face syncing when consolidating from photos tagged on different devices? Does it act...

Hi all, I recently noticed that Photos (the macOS app) had been stuck on 'Uploading 499 Items' for a few days. Following advice I found on various forums, I unchecked and rechecked the 'iCloud Photos Library' box in Photos preferences. I thought it would resume uploading the same 499 items, but...

Hi, I guess you're all aware of the "duplicate" button inside the Photos app on iOS. So recently, I've duplicated a few photos that I really liked to edit those duplicates inside the Photos app (I like to keep several versions of the same photo to be able to compare). However, when I imported...

Hi there, I've just bought an new iMac 27" and am looking for a better solution to get my Photos library across. Currently my "master" library (the one with all the original photos, metadata, Faces information etc) is on the old iMac. I have very slow internet (especially upload) and this...

Hi there! I've been an avid Public Beta Tester for a year now and haven't regretted it, sending in dozens of reports. Using iOS 11 as a daily driver scares me away. And in a big way. Simply because I'm taking a lot of photos with my phone and enjoy doing so. Apple's announcement to shift from...

Hello everyone! I currently have a 2012 i7 mac mini that was on Mavericks but out of necessity I had to upgrade to Sierra this past Monday. Every thing appeared ok and the few things that were off I fixed (external drive un-writable). There are 2 things that I need to work on though. One of...

I want to search the photos on my phone for photos taken in 2016 of a certain person (so far so good) - but only include Favourites. I can search photos taken in 2016 & for a named person (596 results). As soon as I add 'Favourites' to the search, there are 0 results. If I go into the...
