![]() ![]() I like having more powerful sharing, where multiple people can work collaboratively on a batch of photos they can all edit or delete as they need to. Personally, I find this feature intriguing but a little confusing. ![]() And if anyone other than you deletes photos from the shared library, you’ll receive periodic notifications about it by default, so no one can delete something you feel strongly about keeping without letting you know about it. The photos count against the iCloud storage of the account that originated the album, so you don’t need to worry about overloading people who are still managing to get by with their free 5GB iCloud accounts. But the People feature, for whatever reason, will only work when the “Both Libraries” option is selected. Some automated features, like Memories, Locations, and all the smart albums for different file types, will still function for your personal library and the shared library independently. ![]() Once you’ve created your shared library, a toggle in the upper-left corner of the app will let you switch between your personal library, your shared library, or a combined view that displays both if you do this, apps from the shared library will be denoted by a small icon in the upper-right corner of the thumbnail. This is handy when you’ve shot a lot of photos of the same subject or in similar lighting conditions and you want to make the same baseline color, white balance, and lighting adjustments to all of them before you begin fine-tuning the adjustments in specific photos. Speaking of Recently Deleted, that collection is now password-protected by default, adding a layer of security and privacy if you deleted a photo from your device because you didn’t want anyone to see it (we won’t speculate on your motivations for doing that).īatch editing photos gets easier, too, since you can now copy the adjustments you’ve made to one image, select multiple images, and paste those adjustments to all of them rather than having to enter edit mode and copy and paste those adjustments individually (“adjustments” are called “edits” in the menu now, but the menu items are in the same place and do the same thing). Photos on my Mac found a total of 56 duplicate photos, distinguishing between the ones that were exact copies and the ones that looked the same but “ unique resolutions, file formats, or other slight differences.” Merging them all would save me a couple hundred megabytes’ worth of space, which isn't bad. You can compare all the duplicates (along with their file sizes) and either manually delete the ones you don’t want or let Photos “merge” them automatically for you, keeping the one it thinks is best (based on file format, resolution, and “relevant data,” whatever that means) and sending the rest to the Recently Deleted collection. Of the tweaks to the Photos app this year, the most useful is probably the duplicate detection feature-there’s a new sidebar item for duplicate photos in your library. ![]()
