If you've been an iPhone, iPad or Mac user for a long time, you'll be aware of the thousands of photos and videos you can find each year. In the cloud services, it is necessary to order and be well-documented so that you can get it right when you need it.
Obviously, what we need to have is a way to separate libraries and albums created to help us find the content we need or create processes such as sharing it with friends or family.
This is where the macOS animation program comes into play, preparing for a human or geographical location, managing various libraries, and having the tools to organize and create presentations or albums.
We explain again how to edit photos using the Mac Photos app to add filters, remove red eyes, change tones, brighten pictures or make changes, change them and many more.
In this article we will share some smart tips from our publishing experts to help you make your photo library easier and easier when you add or share new photos.
How to choose your favorite photos
There is a very easy way to organize your photos so you don't have to be frustrated every time you open the library of your iPhone, iPad or Mac. If you often use the Favorites option for those you like, you can select this idea for display only.
Select the photo or photos you would like to mark as favorites and hit & # 39; Like & # 39; using the heart icon you will find available in the bar at the top of the window.
Alternatively, you can navigate through the thumbnail image to see the heart in the bottom left corner to check that the image is selected as your favorite.
This will greatly assist with the visualization of different images when accessing from your iPhone, because you will have a few photos to browse when trying to create albums or want to share them on social networks such as Facebook or Instagram.
Use the & # 39; & # 39; s People & # 39; s function to find them with their faces
When you open photos for the first time, the app sets up a library to point people to photos. When you're done, you can open the album & # 39; People & # 39; so that you can see the organized pictures by their faces. This is where you can name it.
Click on the & # 39; People & # 39 ;, album, which appears in the bottom left corner of the albums, to see the grid of faces identified by the photos. Double-click on the face to view associated images. To name a face, drag on it and click & # 39; Add a name & # 39;
The app is great for face recognition, but it's from a perfectionist and there will be plenty of faces in your photos not shown here. To add a new one, click & # 39; add people & # 39; and select the person from the grid shown.
Pro tip: You can select multiple people at once by clicking & # 39; Command & # 39; After that they will all be automatically added to the & # 39; s album & # 39;
If it turns out that you have multiple versions of the same person in People People, you can click on them, then & # 39; Ctrl & # 39; or right-click on the image and select & # 39; Merge & # 39; X people, where X is the face number you clicked
All images displayed in different versions of faces will be grouped and grouped under one person. To set up your favorite people, right-click on the ones you want and drag them to the Favorites section at the top of the album.
To hide someone from the album & # 39; People & # 39 ;, just right-click and select & # 39; Hide & # 39; this person. You can edit the face & # 39; lock & # 39; (shown in one's album) with a double click.
How to create an album?
Photos are great for grouping photos by location and dates. When you look at your photos in the Moon view, for example, you can see the photos organized by dates and locations.
If you want to group a group of photos to share on Facebook or create a slideshow (according to the instructions above), follow these steps:
- Click on the & # 39; Album & # 39; in the left column and then click on the + appearing when & # 39; Albums & # 39 ;. Select & # 39; Album & # 39; Alternatively, click on & # 39; File> New Album & # 39;
- An unnamed album will appear. You can give it a name right now.
- Assuming you haven't selected any photos, the album will end up empty: You can pre-select the photos and create the album, where those photos will fill the album. To add photos to your album, you must click on the pictures in the left column or go to Favorites, Faces, Places or any other album.
- Once you have selected viewing mode, you can drag the photos and videos you want to have into your newly created album in the sidebar (or any album you have created).
How to add photos to an existing album
It's easy to add photos to an already created album. If you want to add more at a time, Drag or draw a mouse position when they are all inserted, or press the & # 39; Command & # 39; while clicking on each.
You can now add new photos to an album by dragging them from the photo view to the album name that will be located in the left column of your screen. In addition, you can select one and the right mouse to add one.
How to create a smart album
The advantage of using photos on your Mac is that you can create smart albums. These albums are automatically updated depending on the criteria you choose. If you want to make an album that is automatically renewed with your child's latest photos, you can do the following:
- Click & # 39; File> New Album Smart & # 39 ;.
- In & # 39; Settings & # 39 ;, select the following condition: Person, (Personal name).
- To add more conditions, click +, you may have added the & # 39; Agregated & # 39; data process. You can also limit the photos included in the Smart Album.
- When you have opened your Smart album, click on the drop down menu next to & # 39; Show & # 39; You can choose to view & # 39; All items & # 39; or is limited by & # 39; Popular & # 39;, & # 39; Photos & # 39;, & # 39; videos & # 39; or by keyword.
How to share photos from photos from your Mac
Now that you've improved the look of your album, it's time to share it with others. One way to do this is to create a shared album, which we will look at below. But first we'll see some ways to share photos.
You can instantly share a photo album via Email, Messages, AirDrop, or simply by clicking the & # 39; Share & # 39; in the top menu of the window. Alternatively, right-click on an image or picture and select & # 39; Share & # 39;
You can also add an entire album to an album you already shared with your family or anyone you invite.
How to share photos from your albums on Facebook or Instagram
You may be wondering how to share your photos with social networks such as Instagram or Facebook and do it from your Mac. This is something that was easy to do in previous versions of macOS images and from your iPhone and iPad.
With the advent of macOS Mojave, the option to share on Facebook or similar disappeared from the & # 39; Share & # 39; tabs with Mac. Now, the only way to upload photos from Mac to Facebook is via Facebook.
- To upload photos to Facebook, you must first create a folder of the photos you want to upload to the network (we create a folder on our desktop and drag the images into it; this will not delete them from the photos).
- Open Facebook, create a post and select Photo / Video.
- A search window will open that allows you to access the folder containing the images you want to upload.
- Select all images and click & # 39; Select & # 39 ;.
How to create a shared album
We recommend combining shared shared albums as an easy way to share photos with friends and family. In fact, you can create an album and share it with friends and family. They not only see photos, but can comment, like and add pictures themselves.
This is as close as you can get to a shared family album. (We look forward to the day of & # 39; Family Sharing & # 39; it will mean that your photo albums are also automatically shared.)
- To create a shared album, move the Shared Albums to the sidebar and click & # 39; & # 39; Shared Photo Albums & # 39 ;.
- Rename shared album
- and invite people (click & # 39; + & # 39; and add people from your contacts). You can also make notes.
- Now, you can click the & # 39; Add Photos & # 39; bar at the top of the window, but this provides views of all photos or favorites. We recommend that you click the pictures in the sidebar and select the photo album you want to add to your shared album to guide the processes.
Please note that you will have to wait a few minutes while the photos are copied to the & # 39; Shared Album & # 39;
At some point, you can convert this album into a public web page, which means you can share photos with a simple URL, or with Cloud.com user accounts.
How to change your album
The albums you make should appear in the order in which they were created, so the most recent album should be of the highest quality. However, you can change the order of the albums to be edited so the old ones are up.
Right-click on & # 39; My Albums & # 39; then select & # 39; Order & # 39 ;, and rename them to appear as old or new.
How to find pictures by subject
Creating albums will make your photo library clean and easy to use to find moments or memories of the trip. Apple has made it easier to find photos because the Photos app can see things inside photos.
So if you want to get a picture of a peacock, you can type a peacock in the search field and Photos will show you pictures of a peacock. Similarly, you can search for a cake and see all your pictures including cakes.
If you have identified people in your photos, you can also search for the person's name and the result will contain images that are identified where the person appears. A definite change compared to the opportunities we had years ago.
