Episode 135: Metadata

Jeff Carlson & Kirk McElhearn — Fri, 17 Feb 2023 00:00:00 -0800

“I never metadata I didn’t like.” Do we need to spend hours entering metadata for our images? Or do we even care about metadata? We look at why metadata is important, and at some automated solutions like AI-assisted object recognition in the Photos app, Lightroom, and other tools.

Episode 30: Jason Snell Takes Control of Apple Photos

Jeff Carlson & Kirk McElhearn — Fri, 21 Dec 2018 00:00:00 -0800

If you want to learn all about something, write a book about it. Or, to avoid yourself a lot of work, read someone else’s book about it! Jason Snell has written several versions of his book Take Control of Photos, and he joins us to talk about what’s new in Apple’s photo software and ecosystem for the Mac and iOS devices. We also talk about making print books and calendars, features that were removed from Photos earlier this year, and how machine learning is going to play a more important role in photo software.
