Apple new Mac Photo application experience

Sometimes, it is anxious to live on the rough Laris perhaps everyone is not unfamiliar with this remark about the current Apple is not too. Since OS X 10.10 was released, the so-called killer application photos photos, Dystocia, and not released as the new system was released.

Whether in the presentation at the conference or later on the official website introduction, seemingly ready to use this "free" application to replace now have with a lot of the trend of iphoto, and even their own professional-level application aperture. People look forward to.

Photos, here's the picture.

In the OS X 10.10.3 Beta, we finally saw the photos photo application. Here is a quick trial to wait for a long time photos bar.

When you upgrade OS X 10.10.3, the app automatically appears in your application folder.

Fresh out, the system has been updated enough 1G, but the photo application itself only 50M. Compared to the 1G capacity of iphoto, I do not know where the disk occupancy is going.

The icons are quite similar to the iphone, and they all have a rounded feature of OS X 10.10. But it still retains some of the shadows. See, Apple's flat on OS X remains divided. How much flat do you get? I don't think Apple is serious about it.

Open the familiar welcome interface.

Required to select the converted database, support iphoto Pictures Library and aperture photo gallery.

Naturally select the iphoto database to convert it first.

The conversion efficiency is very high, about 80G photo Gallery in less than 20 minutes. Because it's all Apple's own stuff, it's not hard.

First version of the photo.

Trial

After the conversion to see the flesh, the operation of the iphone and the ipad is very similar, through the trackpad can zoom operation.

Display the picture preview arrangement with the Touch panel double pointing zoom.

People who have used the iphone believe that there is no strangeness.

The second feature of the tag function is sharing, which is similar to creating a shared album on the iphone, which is a further integration of OS X and iOS operations and how it works.

Almost all categories are based on iOS's unified style. The album's function is no stranger. You can create your own album categories to store photos.

But the special thing is, the personal collection is a system to carry the classification, is will you mark?? Automatic collation.

Another improved, photos photo application is fully compatible with the iphone's panoramic photos, with slow motion shooting and other playback modes.

This point can finally be a little bit of praise. After all, users who use OS X are almost always the iphone's users.

Photo Wetting and modification?

This small function is still available, however, the rotation of the photo needs to be done through the shortcut key, not the touch pad rotation gesture.

If you need to rotate the picture, you need to press the shortcut key, this contrast iphoto that is a step backwards oh.

Modification and wetting relative to the professional software although some simple, but for the positioning and the use of the general user function is more honest.

In the editing, we saw like rotation, cropping, simple retouching blur, filters and adjustments.

Although there are few filters, and like the United States can easily hundreds of filters are slightly simple, but the adjustment of the basic functions are,

For example, the histogram, brightness color black and white sharpness sharpness to reduce noise, such as white balance color.

Even if there is no special learning skills, simply using the photos adjustment function can allow beginners to be able to make more changes to the photos and enhance the effect, this may be photos in simplifying operations or to do subtraction on the efforts made. Simply make some necessary adjustments, the iphone photos appear to be more angry.

* But perhaps should support Plug-ins, after all, big eyes, thin face, skin, long legs, big chest These functions is very important.

IPhoto's shadow?

In fact, the original iphoto photo classification and browsing methods are still preserved, you need to go to the menu bar to open Sidebar and

Displays features such as sidebar and thumbnails.

Photos photos will share the system, you can quickly share the photos to micro-blog or set up a desktop and so on.

Photos of the information used by the pop-up floating window, all photos of information and location information are displayed. This needs a little bit of praise.

Supports slow action mode.

In the slow motion mode on the new iOS, the problem of losing the slow motion after importing to the computer is finally solved on the photos. It's no longer worrying about losing slow-motion mode anymore.

And it supports the adjustment and export of slow motion playback time line.

setting, like the icloud photos on the iphone, you can store all your photos on icloud cloud storage. So mom won't worry about me losing my picture anymore.

And the icloud space to save the photos is unlimited.

Is the original iphoto still available? This is OK, because the photos photo application is to copy the original iphoto photo gallery to create a new one instead of using the original iphoto photo gallery.

These two photo galleries are identical after the first turn, and if you no longer use iphoto, you can back up your photo gallery and then delete it. Convert to Photos photos

The final question is, can that be a substitute for professional applications such as aperture?

I think the answer is no, although Apple has by default no longer continues to develop professional photo management applications such as aperture. But from an amateur user's point of view, photos's current function can not replace or even replace aperture such professional photo management applications.

At present, it is unclear how Apple's strategy is on the aperture, but if Apple no longer continues to develop aperture, it may prove once again that Apple's marketing strategy is slowly tilting toward a consumer. When Apple is not so professional in the field, is that the apple that used to be?

Maybe we are old, the world needs a brand new apple, right?

Making Mac apps simpler and easier for more beginners to use quickly may be the mainstream of the future. This may also be a good thing. Not all users need professional-level software, but all users need easy-to-use apps, no learning costs, and easy to transform software.

Apple's "ambitions" is becoming more and more obvious, and I don't just let users buy iphones and buy our Macs.
