For example, you can visualize your Mac's Photos Library in "List Mode," which makes it easy to see what files take up the most space, which images have the highest/lowest resolution, etc.

    Very grateful for this tutorial and the advice on power photos. It's an app I've been missing for a long time. Got my cleanup done, removed ~500 photos and found some big videos to decide what to do with. I love that power photos lets you manage multiple libraries, so I may archive some pics that are taking up lots of space in the cloud. Thanks so much!

    I really enjoy your videos I was trying to put my finger on it the other day. But there’s just something about the feel of your videos I don’t know if it’s the way you film it if it’s the bumpers you use if it’s the graphics it’s probably all of it combined but there’s a peaceful modern clear feel about it about your contact. I really appreciate it. Hello from phoenix Arizona.

    Hey David once you do this is there a way to copy a photo album or a created screensaver to a DVD on your Mac? I can’t seem to decide on a software to do that with what is your recommendations for just a simple burning to a DVD. I have seen Toast, several options, I have a dvd drive connected to iMac running Mac OS Catalina version 10.15.7 . thanks for all you do to help us seniors…

    Hi David..I was concerned about the quality loss by changing screenshots to JPG. I did a search and found that "JPEGs are for photographs and realistic images. PNGs are for line art, text-heavy images, and images with few colors". I see JPG is the same as JPEG? Often I will grab a screen shot of a beautiful nature scene and use it for my desktop picture, thus, I want it to be the highest quality. Also, can you comment on the heic photo format? I often have to export photos I air drop to my Mac as JPG, since some destinations do not like heic. I'll have to investigate as to what the default format/codec is for photos on my iPhone. I thought it was JPG, but they all end up as heic when I move them to my Mac. Thanks for your episode.

    Excellent videos. I am trying to sort my 20 k photos and your video has been a great help. I have Google photos and I cloud as back up, is that overkill. I find Google photos easier, if you could point me to a video which will help me with iCloud I’d be v grateful. My photos are on an external hard drive and do not seem to sync that well with iCloud. Best wishes from freezing UK.

    Just found your videos and software and it seems to be just what I'm after. Ive had a 1015 MacBook that I carefully curated labeled, rated & keyworded over 40,000 photos in and haven't updated the system software because I feared loosing the photo library. I've recently purchased a new M2 MBP and my first missing is to update my photo libraries that are now spread over a few computers and several devices and you software seems to be a cool tool to achieve it.
    Am I correct in thinking that is essentially a utility for managing the libraries and you still view them in "Photos"
    Do you know if there is a way of only using iCloud for some photos and not all of them ?
    Also when looking at duplicates do you also merge keywords ?
    Thanks I can't see why you won't be getting a sale from me.

    I just bought the app and installed it.. Since I have over 177,000 photos, the scan is going to take a while. I take a lot of photos and delete very few. Once I switched to iCloud Photos it merged photos from all of my computers and devices creating a lot of duplicates. I have been looking for something to do a clean up. This might do the trick. Digital film is cheap.

    This video will almost immediately need an update as iOS/macOS/iPadOS 16 will have photo duplicate detection built in.
    Kind of bummed that this video is about using an app that costs money. I assumed this would be about tools built into macOS Photos itself.

    • @TechTalkAmerica
      @TechTalkAmerica  Рік тому +1

      The built in duplicate detection feature you are referring to that is built into Mac OS Ventura has a fatal flaw (I've tested it). Just like all the other duplicate removal apps, it does NOT take into consideration whether or not a photo has been saved into an album. If you have taken the time to organize your photos into albums, then going with the built in duplicate detector will totally screw up that organization. Also... duplicates are just one type of junk.

    • @JoeSiegler
      @JoeSiegler Рік тому

      @@TechTalkAmerica Fair point. Still, I saw this video, and assumed it would be with built in hidden tricks, not require a pay tool to do it.

  • @erniewarinner7692
    @erniewarinner7692 Рік тому +1

    PowerPhotos kind of work, but not with the results desired. My photo library has almost 175,000 photos in it. After a scan with PowerPhotos, it found 26,109 duplicates, which I expected.51.49 Gigs of space. After carefully inspection the files, I deleted them. After the clean up, I ended up with almost 148,000 photos and videos. The Apple Photos said "updating" for days, I thought it was cleaning up iCloud Photos to sync with the cleaned up database on the Mac. After about four days, all of the deleted photos were back on the Mac. So if PowerPhotos delete files from my Mac, they don't sync back to iCloud to clear them from my other Macs, iPhone and iPads. I tried deleting a few photos in the Photos app on my Mac, and they did sync to all of my devices. I ran PowerPhotos a second time and it seemed to work this time. The problem seems to be iCloud Photos not syncing correctly.

      Here is the conundrum there are a few apps out there that allow you to do some of the same things from your iPad, but the problem is they have absolutely HORRIFIC privacy policies and I would never ever recommend them to anyone. Frankly I’m shocked that some apps are still in the App Store.

      @aRandomPersonOfTheInternet 21 годину тому

      For you, maybe. Many people import all their photos into a single digital library, and the process couldn’t be more straightforward. You connect your camera or its SD card to your Mac, you open Photos and you click Import. This has always been the intended use of the iPhotos app, long before the first iPhone came to be.

    I don't understand ,you have so many 19K photos and videos? I have 1,891 photos & 577 videos and my ICLOUD storage is full & won't update. I don't want to pay Apple $10.00 a month for more storage. Wish I can find a video that shows me how to get photos & videos off my iPhone to give me more space but not delete them on my MAC. It's very frustrating for me and ok I am 72.

    • @TechTalkAmerica
      @TechTalkAmerica  Рік тому +2

      I work with thousands of people in the average person these days has right around 20,000 photos considering how long digital photography has been a thing. I’m sorry that you don’t see the value in paying $10 for iCloud storage, but you should consider that that saves you from having to buy a new device with more storage. iCloud gives you the ability to optimize your data which is exactly why it’s worth it.
