Viewing photos on a map
I may be misremembering, but I'm sure the old iPhoto app on a Mac
allowed a 'map' view. Effectively a scalable map, with pins that indicated where a photo was taken. This seems to be missing from the newer Photos app. I've looked in the help section, which apart from being inexplicably slow to use, shows screenshots from a seemingly different application, and seems to suggest it's not there. I can search by location, but there's no way to get this map overview, which I found useful. Is there an application for Mac that has this feature? Or am I missing something? -- Cheers, Rob |

Location data is picked up from the meta data of the image. If it exists then 'get info' on the selected image (there is an icon on the menu bar) will bring up that information together with a map showing the location. -- This is not the signature you are looking for You can go about your business Move along |

I was after a map overview of all of the photos. So a scalable map (a map that scales between different, er, scales - 1:1000, 1:1,000,000, etc), from the world, down to my street, with pins to indicate where a photo was taken. -- Cheers, Rob |

And sorry again - still not clear!! Most of my photos are geotagged, following no small amount of time/effort with iPhoto. It's just the map bit I'm after. -- Cheers, Rob |

I'm *sure* I used to see something similar in iPhoto. In fact, I've just opened Aperture (bought and barely used a while back) and I see that has a 'Map' view. But no obvious way to use the Photos library. Hmphh. But at least I know it can be done. Just got to work out how to get something to play with the Photos database . . . -- Cheers, Rob |

If you: * hit Command-1 (View Photos), so the Toolbar now says "Moments" (eh?) * select the title of a "Moment" from the list you'll get a map - but it will only show the phots from that "Moment" (what a stupid name for it) Also, as you say, all the screenshots on the website/in the help seem to show a toolbar that doesn't exist in the actual Photos application. The Help says: "Click Photos in the toolbar" - but the "Photos | Shared | Albums | Projects" it shows is not there in my toolbar. I am on Version 1.0.1 (215.65.0 by the way. Daniele |

To put it as succinctly as I can, what you are missing is Adobe Lightroom. The longer you wait to switch from Photos to LR the more difficult the switch will be. Photos will only continue to limit what you can do. This from personal experience--my wife and I both tried Photos and found it to be very limiting; it is designed for the most casual of users who has minimal knowledge and requirements and who does not expect to go beyond that stage. The problem with that reasoning is that photography is an activity that can draw one in deeper and deeper, and Photos is not up to that. My wife is continuing with Aperture for a while yet (it offers greater versatility in making books than LR does) and I continued with LR, which I began using several years ago when it became apparent to me that Apple would drop out of the competition for a high-end cataloging and editing package. Aperture was good, very good, probably the best for several years but Apple's heart was not in it. That Apple worked with Adobe to create a software solution to transition from Aperture to LR tells us where Apple thought the serious user ought to go. So you're down to Lightroom or Photo Mechanic. PM is OK, but Lightroom is the top choice because it has behind it the weight of the world's pioneering and premiere maker of graphics applications, it is the market leader, and more help and tutorials are available than for any competing software. For those who will not use LR or PS because they are Adobe haters, get over it. You are cutting off your nose to spite your face. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |
