I’ve descended into madness … again. I thought I’d make a little mapping guide to help demystify the difference between Apple Photos on iPadOS vs. macOS.

Is it clear now?

@ente import of my current Apple Photos library is complete. DW is in the $5/month tier with about half of his 200 GB used.

DW is eagerly awaiting editing plugins and sidecar file management with maybe DNG support.

At the moment, I don’t see a way to retire Apple Photos as Camera-Photos relationship and iCloud Photo Library make movement of images from iPhone to iPad and iMac for editing transparent. Except when it is not

Apple Photos a un curseur appelé Brillance. Comment reproduire cet effet dans darktable ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQo9jCuSV3s #photography #darktable #tuto #applephotos

In Apple Photos, if I "add faces" for people whose faces are not actually visible (e.g. the back of someone’s head), will it mess up the facial recognition algorithms? Am I training the system that certain people have non-recognizable faces???

The Apple Photo "Memories" feature using Apple Intelligence is so terrible it's embarassing. Offering a good photos product should be a core priority for the iPhone. Why do I get the "try another prompt" so often? Why are picture selections so bad? There are many pictures in "favorites" you could use, yet the app often picks some of the worst shots of an event. Being this bad, it should at least offer the capacity to select all the pictures manually. #apple #photos #applephotos #iphone #iOS

J'ai profité d'une voyage en Allemagne et en Autriche pour utiliser Apple Photos dans un flux de développement. Comment ca fonctionne ? https://youtube.com/watch?v=Z2ri42vBrR #photography #ApplePhotos #tuto

Je suis parti en Allemagne et en Autriche pour le travail. J'en ai profité pour voir comment je pouvais utiliser Apple Photos dans un flux de développement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2ri42vBrRw #photography #ApplePhotos #tuto

Very nice list of app alternatives for big tech. Would also add #Syncthing as an alt (p2p) for #GoogleDrive, #digiKam as an alt (offline) for #GooglePhotos / #ApplePhotos, and #LibreOffice as an alt (offline) to #GoogleDocs.

Panorama ikusita, #macOS etik #LinuxMint era erbesteratzen ari naiz, orokorrean oso gustura, egia esateko. Arazo txikiren bat edo beste, baina konpontzen joan naiz pixkanaka.

Orain atasko potolo bat daukat, ordea. Bueno, bi, argazki bildumarekin lotuta.

1.- Ba al dago modurik Apple Photos aplikazioko datubasea (liburutegia) Linuxera erraz ekartzeko? Metadatuak eta abarrak mantenduz, noski.

Do you know the People & Pets section of #ApplePhotos?

Wouldn’t it be great for it to understand that a photo from a contact that was taken prior to their birthday, may not actually be them?

I have 3 (very lookalike) kids and Apple Photos consistently mismatch them on baby photos.

I can now confirm that this is the strategy that works. I waited 35 days, just in case, and uploaded the jpegs with xmp sidecar files, and the jpeg+raw pairs are finally gone from my iCloud Photo Library.

The idea that it takes a month to remove your files from Apple's servers and that delete just means "hide these from me" is... disquieting.

"Of course, this user never requested that my on-device experiences be "enriched" by phoning home to Cupertino. This choice was made by Apple, silently, without my consent.

From my own perspective, computing privacy is simple: if something happens entirely on my computer, then it's private, whereas if my computer sends data to the manufacturer of the computer, then it's not private, or at least not entirely private. Thus, the only way to guarantee computing privacy is to not send data off the device.

I don't understand most of the technical details of Apple's blog post. I have no way to personally evaluate the soundness of Apple's implementation of Enhanced Visual Search. One thing I do know, however, is that Apple computers are constantly full of privacy and security vulnerabilities, as proved by Apple's own security release notes. You don't even have to hypothesize lies, conspiracies, or malicious intentions on the part of Apple to be suspicious of their privacy claims. A software bug would be sufficient to make users vulnerable, and Apple can't guarantee that their software includes no bugs. (To the contrary, Apple's QA nowadays is atrocious.)

It ought to be up to the individual user to decide their own tolerance for the risk of privacy violations. In this specific case, I have no tolerance for risk, because I simply have no interest in the Enhanced Visual Search feature, even if it happened to work flawlessly. There's no benefit to outweigh the risk. By enabling the "feature" without asking, Apple disrespects users and their preferences. I never wanted my iPhone to phone home to Apple.

Remember this advertisement? "What happens on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone.""

Je regarde si Apple Photos peut développer des photos RAW ? Peut-il remplacer Lightroom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeQMSGEcUOg

My wishlist for #apple #wwdc 2025:

SYNC. WITH. ICLOUD. NOW.

I came home from a race. What did I want to do? Sit down for 5 minutes, flip through my photos, and upload them to share with my run club.

What did I do? Sat down at my insanely overpowered (for my uses) Mac Studio. "Photos synced on Friday." (It's Sunday now). I check my phone, and of course the 100+ photos from today have been uploaded since roughly the moment I walked into my garage because I have WiFi 7 APs on a 2.5gbit uplink to my 10gb switches to my 10gb symmetric fiber connection. Not a tough chore, uploading a couple hours' worth of iPhone snaps.

Back to the Mac. Twiddle with buttons, settings, force quit some things, relaunch some things. Nada. Do some Google searches, no luck. Turn iCloud Photos syncing off. Turn it back on, get prompted for my password, type password, setting stays off. Repeat 3 or 4 times until finally System Settings hangs for 60 seconds.

"Optimizing system performance". My system ain't doing shit. Stop optimizing.

"Sync now" button appears. Click it.

"You don't have enough space to store your originals". Yes I do. Or at least, I _did_. Maybe if you've decided to download an entire second copy of my photos library I won't. Who knows!

What's it doing now? God only knows. Piddling along at single digit megabits a second up and down. "syncing". No new photos have appeared in ages. I guess I'll just let it do its thing... for a few hours? Days? God only knows.

Ironically, my unplugged MacBook Air already had the photos when I opened it to write this.

The Likely Future of Apple Photos Is What Photomator is Now https://petapixel.com/2024/11/08/the-likely-future-of-apple-photos-is-what-photomator-is-now/ #applephotos #Technology #photomator #pixelmator #Editorial #editorial #Opinion #opinion #apple

Today’s useless feature by a multi-billion corporation: Apple Photos will change (i) icon based on the approximate content of the photo.

Not sure why, the menu stays the same and just shows you meta-info on the camera (lens, focal distance, date, place etc)

Probably took a lot of effort, but thanks, Apple, I can see it’s cat by looking at the photo.

#ApplePhotos #Icon #AI

@sgtsilas yeah I really don't like surrendering my files to a propriatary storage system like #applephotos. On that subject, why is it that only #iCloud seems to do background sync of photos on an #iphone ? Seems like a market failure - how has the EU etc failed to address this?

Aquí algunas #alternativas a #Apple para quienes quieran cambiar de hardware o software:

#MacBook 👉 Lenovo Thinkpad
#iPad 👉 Lenovo Tab P12 o XPPen Magic Drawing Pad
#iPhone 👉 Google Pixel u otro con DivestOS
#AppleTV & #AppleMusic 👉 Jellyfin con WebOS
#AppleWatch 👉 Garmin o compatible con GadgetBridge
#AppStore 👉 AltStore
#Safari 👉 Librewolf o Brave
#Quicktime 👉 VLC
#ApplePodcasts 👉 Pocket Casts
#ApplePhotos 👉 Ente Photos
#Facetime 👉 Element (Matrix) o SimpleX
#AppleMail 👉 Canary Mail

IMO, New features in photos, total fukkup as usual for Apple new innovative changes that used to be so easy to use to find certain photos.
All they need to do is allow to TURN OFF the fukking defaults on the new
ideas that make navigation more annoying and cumbersome instead of easier or better. Absolutely HATE the updated iOS 18 for photos.
