Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Apple Photos Book for Photographers, 2nd Edition, by Derrick Story, shines a light on the true sophistication of this app and the ecosystem it taps into. From the perspective of a working photographer, Derrick provides everything you need to know to get the most out of the imaging tools built into Mac OS X and iCloud.

Apple's Photos for OS X app was designed from the ground up to help you organise, edit, and share your pictures and videos. While the interface appears simple, finding the hidden nuances of Photos is not so straightforward. With the launch of the latest Photos app, there's more to this app than initially meets the eye.

For photographers who are more than just casual snapshooters, or who are transitioning from Aperture, iPhoto, or the previous version of Photos, The Apple Photos Book for Photographers, 2nd Edition, by Derrick Story, highlights the true sophistication of this app and the ecosystem it taps into. From the viewpoint of a working photographer, Derrick provides everything needed to maximise the imaging tools built into Mac OS X and iCloud.

Follow along with Derrick as he teaches you all about:

  • Customising the interface for organising and viewing your images
  • The thinking behind viewing options such as Moments, Collections, Years, and Albums
  • Working with iCloud Photo Library to sync your photos across your devices
  • Adding location data to your images so you can map your travels with your photos
  • Editing your images with Photos’ basic tools, then going beyond with more advanced techniques
  • Integrating third-party Editing Extensions into your workflow to build a digital darkroom tailored to your style of photography
  • Creating projects such as books, cards, calendars, prints, and slideshows - and showing you how to create your own Fine Art Cards at home with just your Mac and an inkjet printer
  • Working with videos as well as still photos
  • Sharing your images on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr

Apple's Photos is a robust, all-in-one solution for managing, editing, and sharing your photos. And The Apple Photos Book for Photographers is all you need to make the most of this great imaging ecosystem!
