+ Supports the iPhone 8's new file formats I'm using one that features an assortment of filters, and access is seamless via the extensions icon (the circle with dots) in Photos' toolbar area. Photos supports extensions which make it easy to add additional features to the program. I do have an annoyance with this method of pairing, which I'll get to in the next section. You can choose whether the raw or JPEG is displayed by entering edit mode for the photos, then selecting Image > Use RAW (or JPEG if RAW is set) as Original from the menus. This is much nicer than iPhoto, which as in burst mode, shows one thumbnail for each image version. Similar to how Photos groups burst photos, it also groups any RAW+JPEG photo pairs, and indicates which of the two you're viewing via small "J" or "R" overlays on the corner of the image: In this simple example with only four burst photos, iPhoto doesn't look too bad…but imagine a 100-image burst and what that does for scrolling through your collection in iPhoto. iPhoto, on the right, just shows each burst photo as a separate photo. Photos groups burst mode photos together-as seen on the left of the image below-and you can choose which one you'd like to see as you browse your library. (Resizing the window is actually slightly worse, but I don't do that as often as I scroll through the collection.)
Scrolling through all of my photos is notably snappier than in iPhoto. This means I don't have to use an external editor as often as I did before, and that's a good thing.

The editing tools in Photos are much richer than those in iPhoto (click the image for the full size version, and you'll see many more options in Photos). These are roughly ranked in order of usefulness to me, from most to least… To keep things organized, I use lots of keywords and Smart Albums, so much of my feedback on Photos is concerned with those areas of the program.įirst off, my time with Photos hasn't all been bad there are some things that I really like in Photos… Note that I am not a great photographer, but I do take a lot of photos-I have over 40,000 photos and a couple thousand video clips in my database. Finally, if you're still reading, I've listed the key features I'd really like to see come to Photos in a future update. I've also included some tips for working with and migrating to Photos for those who haven't yet made the move from iPhoto. Hence, this "one week in" review (of sorts) of Photos, from the perspective of an experienced iPhoto user. I've vented on a number of the things I dislike on Twitter, but wanted to expand on both the positives and the negatives in more detail. There are some elements of Photos I like, but as of today, those things are outweighed by the things I don't like. As noted in prior posts, I've recently moved to Photos from iPhoto.
