There are a total of over 63,800 photos in thousands of Events. Listing "left to right" names for people posing in photos, some of which you may not see for weeks, months or even years at a time, is very useful.ģ: My iPhoto library spans from September 1998 (before there even was iPhoto) through April 2017. I often take photos of public events and family gatherings, as well as work crews and volunteer workbees. It also included writing and recording detailed narratives of specific photos or grouping of photos. This included batch captioning of whole groups of photos, including appending existing captions. Naming Events with a mix of phrases and keywords is far less laborious and far more powerful.Ģ: iPhoto allowed for powerful captioning features. Sometimes a single keyword or grouping of same is woefully inadequate. Keywords in Apple Photos just don't cut it. For a decade, this has served as an incredibly powerful and fast means of recording metadata for whole events, making them easier to find via searching. If for instance, the Event is a specific occasion or activity (or sighting of something distinctive), I will record a brief, abbreviated narrative statement in the event name nomenclature. This becomes a kind of "backdoor metadata" means to catalogue whole events. Some tasks I commonly do with iPhoto (and have for years) that do not seem to be readily available with either Google Photos or Apple Photos:ġ: When loading a new "film roll" / "event" into iPhoto from a camera card or iPad, I will always give a detailed "event name".
At the moment I am hooked on iPhoto and cannot see a way out unless I buy Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 (which has powerful photo collecting and cataloguing features, for consumer software) or moving upmarket to Lightroom (which would be expensive).
