![]() ![]() Story briefly explores nine different programs and how to integrate the with Photos. Chapter 11 explores Editing Extensions where Photos’ ability to literally extend your abilities by storing your images in Photos but round-tripping them to 3rd party software for editing tools that go beyond Photos’ abilities. But the next half of the book is what really empowers users who do not need a pricey and complicated pro app but want added control. ![]() If this was the limit of Story’s book, it would have accomplished much is introducing the average user to their Photos workflow. Photos’ greatest strength for iCloud users is its ability to utilize the service for backing up (and storing your full sized images, thus reducing your hard drive’s memory allocation for files as only small jpgs exist on your computer) and for sharing with others. Most importantly, Story spends a great amount of time explaining the many features that Photos provides for organizing, cataloguing and sharing your images, especially if you have bought into Apple’s iCloud service. The interface is well designed, but Story exposes features that may well have remained unknown if you had not had a mentor, or instructional text, to find them. The book begins as expected with instructions and explanations for migrating from iPhoto/Aperture, navigating the interface, and manipulating images using both simple automated and advanced manual techniques. That said, this book is a celebration of Photos, a program that offers much to most non-professionals. Story does an excellent job acknowledging the pros and cons of the new program and makes no excuses for the fact that Apple no longer has a program for pros. And Derrick writes just like he speaks on his Digital Story podcast, so prepare for a book that’s calmly paced, reflectively considered and aimed at regular folks.Īpple’s Photos application replaced both iPhoto and Aperture, hitting a midpoint between those programs that had been targeted for the amateur and professional respectively. And Derrick Story- well, Derrick is like Garrison Keillor, the Prairie Home Companion of podcasters- he’s extremely relatable, loves to illustrate his ideas with stories, and invokes an image of fireside-chatting his way through teaching material. Jared Poulin of Fro Knows Photo would be your Howard Stern of podcasting Frederick van Johnson of TWIP is more like Anderson Cooper. When people ask that I recommend a photography podcast for their listening enjoyment and education, I try to match them to the type of newscaster/storyteller they’d most enjoy, since each podcaster has his own style, temperament and personality. And The Apple Photos Book for Photographers is all you need to make the most of this great imaging ecosystem!
