I've been a mac user since 1989 and STILL learn tons everytime I watch these videos.

Great collection of tips! I've used Photos for years and years, and it was only in watching this tutorial that I learned about exporting contact sheet PDFs! I always learn something new from your videos-thanks, Gary!

I knew nothing , but I learned a lot! Thank you, Gary! ❤️👍🏻

Excellent tutorial, Gary! Thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge.👍🏻

All that good information in 11 minutes. Thanks that was very helpful!

OMG, Gary: such a wealth of information. I'm looking at Photos in a whole new light. THANKS.

Love your videos Gary, thank you once again.

Love your work. Great tutorials !

Thanks, Gary. Another excellent video by an excellent instructor.

This is so helpful. Thank you for your unbelievably good videos!

I can't stop watching your video's! They are so educational. Thank you so much!

Outstanding Gary. You are an excellent teacher and mentor. Thank you,

Great info, Gary!!! Just what I need to know right now. THANK you.

This was super useful. Incredible what you can do with the Photo app now, glad I found this video as didn’t know any of it!

Amazing versatility. I had no idea. Thanks for this video!

Thank you for doing this video as it was very helpful to your written help.

Excellent, very well explained, delivered, and informative.

Helpful tips - Thanks! I’m in the process of creating reference files that I don’t want in iCloud (to save iCloud storage). I thought I would need two libraries. I’m glad to learn I can use the same library I use for iCloud on my Mac.

Well done! Very useful!

Every one of your videos is a fantastic learning experience. I was unaware just how sophisticated Photos had become.

Excellent! Thanks.

Really useful. Thanks Gary.

Hey Gary: Thanks for showing Markup under the ... P.S. "Revert to Original" is a wonderful feature, but it necessitates two files. On edited videos, that adds up fast, so I am happy to see the Mac Photos app has the option to save the edited video as a new video, THEN I can delete the original video when I'm satisfied.

The contact sheet idea is good

Using another library, not synced, for work stuff is a great idea. I have a work phone that I can use for unlimited personal use, but don't want to mix my work and personal photos up. Fantastic, thanks Gary.

Amazing. I learned so much even being a long time max user. Well done!

I just removed an ugly electrical wire hanging in the front of a shot with the retouch tool thanks to seeing your video!! Thank you very much.

Wow !! That was crazy useful and clear. I’ve been blown away with the cameras on my iPhone 15 Pro Max and so have been using it more and more rather than my mirrorless SLR. So I’ve been playing around more and more with this App. Your video has really inspired me - various things that I never realised as my mindset of the apple photo app is from a ‘historic’ version. Thanks so much 😊

Thanks! You are The Man!!!

you are a brilliant person - thank you...

Thanks that was great info

Great! I use iPhoto (and now Photos) since 2002, a lot has changed since then, but I heard some things now that I didn't know! Thanks, Gary!

One of the slickest tricks in Photos is the ability to enter Edit, correct an exposure, copy the corrections. and use the arrow keys to move to similar exposures and paste the corrections. This saves me a lot of time over a long shoot with a large number of exposures - especially if indoors without flash.

Hi Gary How do I import old Aperture projects files from a hard drive to photos? Thanks Jc.

Is there a way to clean up your library and separate screenshots and pictures saved from the web and whatnot from your actual photos? Probably worth a video tutorial… I think a lot of iOS users struggle with huge libraries now that have so much in them, but cleaning it up is a monumentous task.

Can you use Lightroom and photoshop as external editors without messing up LRC catalog system?

Gary, Thanks for making these videos. I'm not able to find an answer for this in apple support. if you think there is a solution pls help. 1) I import photos from HDD (as a referenced file, coz my mac's internal memory is very less and don't want to sync using iCloud) 2) So in this situation, if I delete multiple files from the HDD which is referenced here on photos, Photos app shows an icon to indicate that's missing, but is there any way to remove those thumbnails in one go, right now I have to delete each of them one by one.

Thanks for the videos. Can photos fix lens distortion like barrel distortion form a wide lens?

Depends on what you want to do exactly. Preview on the Mac will do some things (viewing, crop, resize, export, markup). If you want something more look into these apps in the App Store: Seashore, Pixelmator, Acorn. See kzread.info/dash/bejne/mHubpMWndqbUds4.html

This video is the BEST! One problem I'm having is when an app like Mail, Keynote or iMovie open Photos to select content, it can take 4 - 10 minutes to load for browsing pictures. My Photos library file is 192 GB. I was considering creating 2 separate libraries - a 'Complete' and a 'Recent' where I've deleted all the older photos - just to speed up opening from within another app. Any ideas?

Splitting your library will make things more difficult to find, which may be a bigger problem. My library isn't that much smaller and it comes up in about 1 second. Do you have a lot of videos in your library? Maybe consider storing videos outside of your library and leaving the Photos library for just photos. That's what I do. Otherwise, maybe just have your Photos app open and drag and drop from there instead of using the Insert Photo function. I never use that.
