​Some Mac Photos tips to help you find those scanned family photos in future

Picture
At our user group session held for April 2022, we covered the topic of 'Family History Books' and talked about key apps, features and skills that can make this process so much easier. (Here is the link for Plus, Online and Premium members to catch up on this session.)

A couple of things we talked about related to photos - and how important it is, when you are scanning in a heap of old photos, to identify the people in the photos and set at least an approximate date for the photo.

This then allows you to locate the old photos later - something that can be very difficult if you don't do it at the time you scan them into Photos.

But how can you quickly identify the people who are in a photo after you scan it - and adjust it's date?

Your Photos app on the Mac and iPhone/iPad can identify plants (and more)

Picture
Anyone who knows me well knows that I am a gardening and plant luddite. I know nothing.

But my iPhone, iPad and Mac can how help me out if ever I do need to identify a plant. Not only that, it can identify dog breeds, types of bird, landmarks and more.

How to clean up those duplicate photos in Photos on the Mac

Picture
I am sure that this is a problem that the majority of people suffer when it comes to Photos - the problem of duplicated photos and how to clean up all those extra copies of the same photo. 

I have been asked three times this week in different appointments for advice on how this clean-up can be achieved in the Photos App on the Mac - how to get rid of the duplicates without having to manually look for and delete double-ups.

Unfortunately, there is not a built-in tool on the Mac for performing such a clean-up - but there is a solution.

How to extract a still photo from a video - on Mac and iPad/iPhone

Picture
I have previously featured articles that talk about using the 'screen capture' and 'cropping' method of capturing a still frame from a video that is in your Photos (read on for links to these articles). This is so handy when you have taken a video, but realise later that you didn't get any decent photos of the same occasion/event/scene.

While updating the Introduction to the Mac series of guides to incorporate latest macOS Monterey screens and features, I noticed a feature in the Photos app that I hadn't come across previously - one that allows you to do this so quickly and easily. 

And so I looked for a similar feature on the iPad and iPhone. As usual, there was an app for that!

How to easily re-size photos from the Photos app on Mac

Picture
Image by Werner Moser from Pixabay
Client Kate needed to be able to make copies of some files in her Photos app and convert them to a smaller file size (preferably less than 500KB). 

The Photos app on the Mac makes this exercise very easy - allowing you to export photos as a variety of resolutions (low, medium, high) and even specify the width that each photo should be.

"How can I organise the photos in my Mac's Photos library without using Albums?"

Picture
Over the weekend just gone, I got a lovely email from someone who had purchased the iTandCoffee guide "The Photos App on the Mac (Catalina Edition)" - a 97 year old gentleman from Inverness in Scotland!

Here's what he wrote:

"The Photos App Catalina Edition” has just been purchased by a 97 year old in Inverness, Sotland. He is seeking to rearrange the pictures in his Photos Library which has 30+ years of accumulated imports from 4 Macs dating back to probably OS 7.0. Your  book only deals with organising by creating albums, not the library content itself. Is there a command to organise the Library mix before creating albums?.The bulk of my collection is historical scans with no camera information.
Regards from otherwise delighted Jim W
Here's the response I gave him - in case any other reader has a similar question about 'arranging' their own Photos library.

Some super-handy keyboard shortcuts for Photos on the Mac

Picture
If you are a fan of the Photos App on the Mac, you can make your use of that app so much more efficient if you know the great set of 'keyboard shortcuts' that are available, for quickly performing actions that otherwise require moving of the mouse and clicking options!

There is a very long list of shortcuts you can use, but I thought I would just feature a few of my real favourites - because it is near on impossible to remember more than those few!

Can I still Print a Photo Book using Apple's Photos app?

By Heidi Mitchell
Picture
If you were an avid Apple Photo Books user, I hate to be the bearer of bad news.

Just in case you hadn't heard, you can no longer order a photo book through Apple - even if you have it created and ready to go. 


Don't despair - you won't have to start all over again. You can still print that book that you had just spent hours creating.

Photos on the Mac makes photo editing so easy. Here's an example

Picture
Picture
In another of this week's blog articles, we welcomed our new team member, Heidi.

You will have noticed that the walls behind Heidi had nothing much on them (as shown in the first photo above). In fact the original version of this photo had a sign, a vacuum cleaner and a fire extinguisher behind Heidi (as shown in the second photo)!

These distractions were so easily removed using the Photos app on the Mac. (Sorry Heidi - I just noticed I gave you a bit of a hunched back!)
