App: Apple Photos for macOS

Intrigued by the new Photos app for OS X, and how it interacts with Photos on iOS? This basic training video will take you through everything there is to know about Photos from Apple.

Obviously I’m a glutton for punishment, but I’m currently moving over 100,000 images to iCloud Photo Library. This will not be a one-part post.

Some advanced Aperture users have libraries north of 1TB in size, but iCloud storage plans only go up to 1TB. So what happens if you want to move more than that to the cloud? For now, you can’t. But read on to see how to handle this.

One of the great features in Aperture (but not iPhoto) was the ability to merge libraries. There isn’t a merge feature in Photos, but there is a workaround. This will be critical to know if you want to play with Photos today, then later combine this with your existing Aperture or iPhoto libraries.
