“Photos is certainly among the most important applications on Mac or iPhone, so Apple’s decision to improve it in iOS 10 and macOS Sierra will impact all of us,” Jonny Evans writes for Computerworld. “The new and improved Photos is smarter than ever before.”
“You’ll find the views to be cleaner and more modern feeling, with rounded album tiles, photo and video counts,” Evans writes. “When you hover over an album it will let you scrub through a short preview of what’s inside.”
“The biggest addition is intelligence,” Evans writes. “The Memories feature (controlled by a new Preference item, all preferences otherwise the same) helps you look back at photos you may not otherwise have looked at, surfacing forgotten moments that may have become buried in your collection as it grows.”
“People replaces Faces and is much smarter at identifying people,” Evans writes. “Click on a person and you’ll be rewarded with a beautifully presented album of images featuring them, with links to selections consisting of your images of people they have been photographed with and a Places map showing you where on the map you have been together.”
