"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.

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.

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!)

Have you tried this amazing feature of the Mac Photos app?

Picture
I have always loved those photos that I have seen on other peoples' walls - where a particular colour has been picked out, and the rest of the photo is black and white. I had always meant to investigate how to do this, but figured I needed a more sophisticated photo editing tool to get this effect!

Well, this week we were playing around with the new features of the Photos app on the Mac (Photos 3.0, High Sierra) and discovered how easy it is to achieve this 'look' - using the standard Photos App.

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.
