![]() ![]() Keeping iCloud Photos up-to-date with families If your family is like mine, we have _way_ more everyday photos that we need to share vs. iOS 12 did add a “smart sharing” feature, but that is really focused on events and trips (vs. Even with that main library setup, it’s still a very manual process to keep the libraries updated. You have to “designate” one person’s iCloud account as the “main library,” and then everyone else has to make sure to get their photos to them. Currently, families have to use various workarounds to get their photo libraries in “sync” so they can see the entire master library. I get multiple emails a week from people who are struggling with iCloud Photo Family Sharing. For many people, the iPhone is their primary camera, and therefore Apple needs a way to help families unify their photo library. While Apple does allow you to create shared albums in iCloud Photos, it doesn’t allow a way for families to create a single library for all of their family photos or even easily give another person access to copy photos to their own library. What’s missing in iCloud Photos family sharing Another year of iOS announcements has come and gone, but yet we’re no closer to the ability for families to properly share their libraries – particularly among spouses. As good as iCloud Photos is, it still lacks a proper family sharing feature to help families unify their photo libraries. It’s built into every iOS, macOS, and tvOS device (and ), and Apple has to be syncing billions and billions of photos and videos across its data centers. And that meant when we got home, I didn’t have to spend time messing around on the computer.ICloud Photos is probably one of the most impressive services that Apple is currently running. Before we’d even left the place, photos were online for family to enjoy. So, I took the time to load my Fuji photos into the iPad, did an edit, created a Journal and posted it from the museum. I did this the other day spent the entire day at the Science museum with my kids, shot a bunch of photos, but after while I’d shot what I wanted to and they wanted to keep on playing. ![]() I can go out for the day carrying my Fuji X100 and my iPad a very very small and light combination, but know that I can edit and post from a café if I want to. It’s a pretty sweet combination at an unbeatable price. Think of the average family user with a desktop Mac at home, an iPad and of course a digital camera. The iPad is extremely affordable compared to a MacBook (it’s half the cost of the cheapest MacBook anything), and if you want to edit while on the road and don’t own a laptop, this is a great option. I understand where you’re coming from, but remember different needs for different folks. I’m putting up some iOS iphoto samples that I find into a flickr group. I also hope the next version of Aperture can import the edits and apply them to RAW files so that photogs can get a really portable touch workflow going. I hope they progress that little app more than they’ve done with pages. A couple of dials like the straighten tool maybe? Also, if you shoot RAW you’re basically just working with jpegs in iPhoto. I’d love a more aperture like way to fine tune it once you hit a starting point. Flesh seems very orange with apple’s settings. The presets are useless for mixed light and the dropper versions (regular & skin tone) do not produce great skin tones. Particularly I find myself re-editing photos in Aperture to fix white balance. I love the edits I can make in iPhoto on my iPad, but it’s still lacking in power for me (and apparently too complicated for some). Simon, I think the highest res files you’ll be able to work on will be through direct import via camera connection kit.Īs for workflow, I wish iPhoto for iOS and Aperture would meet each other someday. ![]()
