FAQs
I’ve heard that I shouldn’t use Apple Photos for proper photo management. Are you saying I should?
It all depends on the experience that your client wants, their level of technical skill, and what kind of ongoing support (you?) they’ll have. Apple Photos arguably delivers a great, consistent user experience. Clients don’t need much technical skill because it’s mostly an app-based environment with multiple safety nets built-in - for them AND you. For ongoing support, if you aren’t in the picture long term, Apple support and Apple consultants can quickly understand what you’ve set up.
Where are the photos? I feel more comfortable seeing them in yearly folders in the Finder.
Honestly, you aren’t alone. Many of us grew up in a world of filing cabinets, file folders, and spreadsheets, and it’s how we think of proper organizing. But smartphones changed that by containing related files in a specific app, not in folders. As computers get more and more like mobile, there is less and less reliance on folder organizing. In fact, folders are more and more a creative/authoring level tool than they are a daily file management tool. Real-world photo management is driven by apps that provide more efficient, non-destructive, visual workflows like Apple Photos.
I don’t want my clients’ photos locked up in proprietary software like Apple Photos.
All software is proprietary. Adobe products are also proprietary. As are the macOS and Windows operating systems themselves. Whenever software delivers a unique user experience of visuals, tools, and capabilities - unless it is truly Open Source - that software is proprietary to someone. The real question is whether the contents (photos) are portable. Can they be used anywhere? Photos can export the original images as needed or convert them into several file formats. In fact, that’s the whole point of Photos as a photo hub. The contents are always protected in original form and can be exported as needed for other purposes. You can’t always say that about folder-based storage that’s open to the Finder.
Can Apple Photos create images to an industry standard?
Which industry? What standards? Accepted Photo Management practices have borrowed from the Digital Asset Management and Photography industries, but both have much broader missions than the needs of typical consumers that we serve. Industry standards evolve as a response to changing needs and we are at the forefront of that process, not trailing it. Our industry - photo management - is a unique mashup of history and innovation that needs professionals who can merge the two.
