Are you planning to organise all those old photos over Christmas? There's a great app for that!

Picture
Over the Christmas break a couple of years ago, I finally got around to sorting out a pile of old family photos - photos that I wanted to scan and save as digital versions and then share with the rest of my family.

So, I thought ...

Wouldn't it be great if you could just point your iPhone at a set of old photos and have them scanned, cropped, clarified and saved to your Photos app?

Even better, wouldn't it be great if you could also put the information written on the back of the photo onto this digital photo, so that you don't lose that information?

And, even better again, wouldn't it lovely if those photos then appeared in your Photos timeline in the correct year/month, so that you could easily find them again.

Sharing an Album of photos - from your iPad or iPhone

Picture
When you have a collection of photos that you want to share with others, how do you achieve this without having to send all the photos to those other people? Your collection of photos may be to large to send in an email.

There is a feature of the Photos app on all Apple devices that allows the sharing of an Album via your iCloud.

In the video short tutorial below, we look at how to use useful feature on the iPad and iPhone - including the latest screens from iOS / iPadOS 14.

Here's an app for scanning old slides

Picture
I was asked during a recent PTT session (which was about using your mobile for scanning documents and photos) about whether there is an easy way to scan old slides.

My suggestion at that session was to Google the words slide scanners to see range of physical devices that are available for this purpose.

But I have since come across an App that may also be worth a try - and it is from the same people who made one of my favourite photo scanning apps (which I have covered in this previous Handy Hint: For those who are looking to organise all those old photos - there's a great app for that!).

How to change the 'Key Photo' for a Live photo on the iPhone or iPad

Picture
If you have an iPhone 6S or newer, you have a wonderful feature in the Camera App - the ability to take 'Live' photos.

A 'Live' photo is actually a short video, and one of the 'frames' from that video is automatically chosen as the 'Key Photo' that is shown when you view the photo. Touching and holding on the Photo in the Photos app will play the short video.

How to change the date of a scanned photo on your iPhone or iPad, Mac and in Google Photos

Picture
If you have ever scanned some old photos into your computer or mobile device, you will know the frustration of later trying to find these photos - especially if, like me, you have thousands of photos.

The date recorded against the photos (in the photo's 'metadata') will be the date they were scanned - which means the Photos app's timeline will show them on that date. So you have to remember when you scanned them (unless you have been clever enough to put them in a separate album, of course).

Wouldn't it be great if you could put a more accurate date on these photos so that they appear in the Photos timeline in the correct year, on the date you specify?

One of the most important things to do to take a good photo

Picture
Now, I know this one might be a bit too obvious.  But it's amazing how often I forget to do it and miss out on getting the best photo I can.  

Because we are constantly handling our iPhones (or other smartphones), it is so easy to end up with dust, dirt or fingerprints all over the camera lens.

Each of the photos shown in this article suffers from the effects of the lens being dirty.  Sometimes, there is no opportunity to re-take them!  Especially when the sun or lights are involved, the result can be a very 'washed out' photo.

​Well, did you know that you can take photos while you are videoing on your iPhone or iPad?

Here is a handy hint recorded a while back, showing you how easy this is to do.

Can I change the date of a photo so it appears in the correct Year in Apple's Photos app?

Having recently scanned some old photos so that you have a digital copy, I found myself frustrated by the fact that they appear in your Photos app's timeline on the date they were scanned - not on the date that they were originally taken.

Luckily, there is an easy way of resolving this.

The Photos app on the Mac has a feature that allows you to easily change the date and time (or the location) of a photo, so that the Years, Collections, Moments timeline view of your scanned photos will be more meaningful.  It is also possible to adjust this photo information on an iPhone and iPad.

The below image shows my own Photos library, reflecting some old photos that were taken in the late 50's and early 60's - after I have changed the dates of the photos that previously showed a 'date taken' of 2017.
Changing date of scanned photos
If you would like to find out how this can be achieved, why not attend the 'Photos App on the Mac' classes at iTandCoffee in Glen Iris (Melbourne)

This class topic is run every 1-2 months, with the next classes scheduled for Monday May 1 and 8 2016, at 1-3pm.  

A couple of places are still available for that class series, and for the next classes in July.
