Get to know Apple’s Photos app and how best to use it to import, manage, edit, and share your photos in High Sierra and iOS 11! As the successor to Apple’s iPhoto app, Photos has a more refined interface and deeper connections to iCloud, and it runs faster. Following the expert advice of Jason Snell, publisher of Six Colors and former lead editor at Macworld, you’ll learn how to navigate Photos like a pro, including how to:

Migrate your library from iPhoto or Aperture (Apple’s discontinued professional photography app) into Photos
Import photos from devices or memory cards
Use multiple Photos libraries
Navigate the Photos interface, including the sidebar and icons
View or disable Live Photos
Organize your library by using enhanced search features, adding metadata, building albums, and creating smart albums
Edit your photos using quick-fixes like cropping, applying filters, and fixing red-eye and rotation problems
Use advanced editing techniques within Photos and edit using external apps like Photoshop
Manage your photo collection using the Memories and People features, and get summary views
Sync your photos with iCloud
View your photos on an Apple TV
Share your photos via social media, export them out of Photos, turn them into slideshows, or create printed objects (books, calendars, cards, prints)

Jason also highlights major new changes in Photos under High Sierra and iOS 11, including a redesigned interface, editing improvements, new support for external editing apps, upgrades to the Live Photos feature, and a smarter People feature.

This book, which is about the new versions of Photos that Apple released in September 2017, covers Photos for macOS version 3.0 in High Sierra, as well as Photos in iOS 11 and tvOS 11.
