The current maps are for people who never bother to get out of their cars. It is impossible to locate precisely any photo outside the cities or off the road. The maps would be perfect for a navigation system - they are showing roads and buildings, shopping centres, hotels, restaurants, but most of the geographical features are missing, no height profile. The map type Apple is currently using for Photos is not very suitable for geo referencing. Version 9.6.1: Improves compatibility when migrating iPhoto libraries to the new Photos app in the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 (available this spring) Fixes an issue that caused iPhoto to display only the first 25 images in a Faceboo I too ended up copying iPhoto 9.6. This way I can quickly copy and paste the coordinates into the location field of the Info panel in Photos.Īnd write the name of the place into the caption field, so I can search for it. I concur that Apple made a mistake with Photos. I created a text file 'My Places' with the name, the latitude, and longitude of the places I am using most. In the first version the feature was completely missing. But at least we can now add locations to photos. Yes, the geocoding in Photos is still sadly lacking. The reason why I'm personally still on iPhoto is the excellent way you can specify a name for your location, as well as the location itself. Or if iPhoto is getting too old (Apple aren't developing it any further). So if you're happy with iPhoto, I would recommend staying with iPhoto and make the transition when you're happy that Photos' features have caught up with iPhoto's. Once you start modifying your Library with the one app, the changes you make will not be accessible from the other. Now here's the problem: You will have to decide which app to use and then stick with it. Here are some suggestions for workarounds, and this is an excellent way to manage your libraries for iPhoto or Photos. The only way around this are Photo's Extensions that would allow makers of photo editors to provide their functionality as an add-on.

You can have the desktop software read an iPhoto library to upload your images. You can specify your own external editor of choice in iPhoto in Photos, you're stuck with its (granted, quite good) internal capabilities. Google offers desktop and mobile apps for importing images and syncs via its cloud service. If you want less work when committing the photos to your archive, that's great if you want more control, not so good.Īlso, location info is easy to edit in iPhoto in Photos, not so. The Photos app now handles the Event groupings automatically, based on photo dates and geolocation info. Events and Albums are the paradigms that iPhoto used.
