workflow

I've been biding my time as I am chugging along with my now 13-year-old 2010 imac. I've updated the ram and replaced the hard drive, but alas, the vast array of restrictions software wise have pretty well started forcing me to look at replacement options. I'm looking for some input on what...

I like the feature of taking calls on my Mac. But what is driving me crazy is that FaceTime seems to immediately become the foreground app, stopping all inputs to other apps. For example: If I'm typing while a call is coming in my keystrokes result in warning sounds. Of course, when I'm just...

Hi all Please help recommend an app to put Events & Tasks, Reminders onto Calendar & block time. Great if there is a companion iPhone app. (a.) Must work with native apple calendar. (b.) Block time on calendar is must. Looking for streamlining Work, Events and Task Managemnt (Both Work and...

I don’t know about everyone else, but while the stock filters in Apple Photos aren’t the worst in the world, they’re definitely not the best, and there’s no reason why Apple shouldn't have the best. I used the Photos plugin aspect of the Filmborn app for a while. I was able to easily edit...

I'm looking for workflow tips on scanning items that are not simply 4 sided. Is there any scanning application that will allow a Photoshop-like multi-sided or circular masking tool to set the region to be scanned? One object at a time is fine, I just have all that for examples. Though VueScan...

I was doodling it but have not found anything usable. I am quite confused from word shortcuts used in both situations. Can I use Siri shortcuts in Apps use somehow as classical shortcuts within iOS? I can make shortcut working with Siri but I have not found way to do opposite. Example...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get some advice/assistance for my workflow. I've moved from an iPhone and the Photos app back to an SLR. We have Creative Cloud so I have access to Lightroom and Photoshop. We also have 2TB iCloud. I really like the Photos app - I take pictures, they're synced and...

Been on Camera+ Legacy since the beginning. Read that initially, Camera+ 2 was buggy and really didn't add THAT much to what I already had. Wondering how it's all working out for people who upgraded nowadays. Recommended?

Daily I print ~75% of my documents right side up and the ~25% upside down (using the setting > Layout > Reverse page orientation). Is there a way to create some sort of drag and drop workflow for each situation, so I can drag my right-side up documents in Finder to the right-side up droplet...

I'm really looking forward to Siri Shortcuts, but I'm almost certain it won't be able to do the main thing I would like it to do, which is listen for keywords in my command and do certain actions based on the keyword(s) rather than based only on entire commands. I would use "I'm" or "I am" as...

Hello! I am in need of hardware and workflow advice. My Current System: macpro 5,1 / 2 x 3.33GHz 6-core / 64GB RAM / GTX 980 Ti 6GB However I am thinking of switching my GPU to the AMD RX580 8GB for concern explained below. I mainly edit 2k & 4k video footage. I have one (very important)...

I'm curious if anybody out there has any tips for managing and editing stock footage within FCPX (currently using 10.4.1). I've been mostly doing photography but have an increasing library of footage from my travels and looking to get into stock footage. Here's a rough outline of my current...

Now that 2018 WWDC is behind us, I have been waiting for Apple aficionados to write about something specific but to my surprise I did not really find any mention of it, apart maybe from WSJ's Joanna Stern. To me, it seems that Apple is following Microsoft when it comes to search and AI. When...

Hi! I'm having issues with Automator not completing 'text to audio' workflows. It runs, but takes forever and doesn't seem to be able to complete. Pressing stop then freezes Automator with the spinning wheel and I have to force quit. I've used this workflow loads of times before for ebooks...

Hi, I have some issues with HEIC and my photo workflow and wondering if anyone else has seen this. Workflow: Photos I edited in the Photos app I download once a month for backup on my PC via the iCloud.com website. Now with HEIC I have the choice of "Unmodified Original"(HEIC) which is...

I am looking for a way to store my home movies in iCloud. Apple still hasn't have an option/app/solution for this. I recently read about iMovie Theatre: it stores homemovies in iCloud with an Apple TV to view them. But I make my movies in Final Cut Pro X. Is there a way to bypass iMovie and load...

I wanted to create a workflow in Mail as simple as showing me only unread messages that quite often is difficult to spot for sure when trying to locate in the main browser window. The actions were as followings: Find Mail items: Find "messages" || Everything is true | message --> marked as...

I'm completely new to this and have stitched up some things I've found on forums to try and create a bulk renaming workflow where a folder contains items to be renamed based on a csv list. Files appear to be renamed properly there is just a "?" in the file extension and I don't know where this...

I'm not sure what title to give to this question, nor where to post it What I want is: when I save a file to folder A, it will automatically save it to folder B, and delete it from folder A, what should I do to make that happen? Should I use a workflow? Symbolic link? what would be the most...

I take all my photos with iPhone and DSLR. All photos move to my iPad/Mac over iCloud synchronizing or importing (Lightning SD Card). This works very well. As a next step, i tag the best pictures as "favorites". But how to delete all the untagged "non-favorite" photos? In the iOS Photos App...
