October 22, 2024
Meeting length: 1 hr 18 min
Take Control of Photos
This book introduces you to the many features of Apple’s Photos app on Mac, iPad, and iPhone, with advice on navigating the interface, editing your images, searching your library, syncing with iCloud Photos, sharing photos with others, and creating photo books.
Get to know Apple’s Photos app and how best to use it to import, manage, edit, sync, and share your photos in macOS 15 Sequoia and iOS 18/iPadOS 18! As the successor to Apple’s iPhoto and Aperture apps, Photos has a more refined interface and deeper connections to iCloud, and it runs faster. Following the expert advice of Jason Snell, publisher of Six Colors and former lead editor at Macworld, you’ll learn how to navigate Photos like a pro!
In this book, you’ll learn how to:
- Import photos from cameras, mobile devices, or memory cards
- Navigate the Photos interface, including the greatly revised single-pane view on iPhones and iPads
- Use Apple Intelligence (on supported devices) to remove unwanted elements from your photos or create movies from your photos based on a text prompt
- View, edit, or disable Live Photos
- Organize your library by using enhanced search features, adding metadata, building albums, and creating smart albums
- Locate and remove duplicate photos
- Search for text, faces, and other objects in photos
- Edit your photos using quick fixes like cropping, applying filters, and fixing red-eye and rotation problems
- Use advanced editing techniques within Photos and edit using external apps like Photoshop
- Manage your photo collection using the Memories and Collections features, and get summary views
- Sync and share individual photos and videos with iCloud
- Use iCloud Shared Photos to share a separate library with up to five other people
- Work with multiple Photos libraries
- Show off your photos on an iPhone or iPad, including customizing your lock screen
- Use the Camera app in iPhone and iPad to capture photos and videos
- View your photos on an Apple TV, and use them for wallpaper and widgets on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch
- Share your photos via social media, export them from Photos, or turn them into slideshows
- Create printed objects (such as books and calendars) from your photos using third-party services

Apple’s iCloud service is highly useful, but it can also create headaches for the average user. In Take Control of iCloud, Ninth Edition, Joe Kissell explains how to avoid frustrations and make iCloud work for you across all your devices.
iCloud is a simple idea in theory—access to all your data on all your devices, via the cloud—that can become complicated when put into practice. Instead of wasting time fiddling with iCloud, when there are many other more important things to be done with the information it contains, learn how to minimize frustrations with Take Control of iCloud, Ninth Edition!
Whether you want a quick tip or a deep dive into the inner workings of iCloud, you’ll find what you need in this best-selling book by Apple expert Joe Kissell. Start by learning what iCloud can do, how it differs from other cloud services, and how best to set it up on Macs, iOS and iPadOS devices, Apple TVs, and Windows PCs.
Then, move on to finding out the key aspects—and hidden gotchas—of iCloud’s core features, including:
iCloud+, Apple’s paid membership tiers with extra features
Photo features: iCloud Photos, iCloud Photo Sharing, and iCloud Shared Photo Library
- Family Sharing
- iTunes Match and iCloud Music Library
- iCloud Drive
