Photos in macOS Catalina has an immersive, dynamic look that showcases your best photos. Find the shots you’re looking for with powerful search options. Organize your collection into albums, or keep your photos organized automatically with smart albums. Perfect your images with intuitive built-in editing tools, or use your favorite photos apps. And with iCloud Photos, you can keep all your photos and videos stored in iCloud and up to date on your Mac, Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, and even your PC.

A smarter way to find your favorites.

Dec 27, 2019  Instead of adding audio to videos on mobile device, I suggest you try the desktop video editing app, Filmora Video Editor for Windows (or Filmora Video Editor for Mac) to add music to video on Mac (macOS 10.14 Mojave included) and Windows. This program can also help you remove audio from video, mute video or enhance audio settings by yourself. Dec 11, 2017  Like the Apple Photos app included with macOS, it's just there. If, by some chance, Photos isn't among your Windows 10 PC's apps, you can always get it from the Windows (app) Store. Feb 23, 2017  We’re going to show you how to locate the image files that are contained within the Photos app on Mac OS. This is specific to Photos app, if you don’t use the Photos app to manage pictures on your Mac then your photos will not be stored within the applications package library and instead you’d likely find them through Finder in the generic Pictures folder or elsewhere in Mac OS.

Photos in macOS Catalina intelligently declutters and curates your photos and videos — so you can easily see your best memories.

Focus on your best shots.

Photos emphasizes the best shots in your library, hiding duplicates, receipts, and screenshots. Days, Months, and Years views organize your photos by when they were taken. Your best shots are highlighted with larger previews, and Live Photos and videos play automatically, bringing your library to life. Photos also highlights important moments like birthdays, anniversaries, and trips in the Months and Years views.

Your memories. Now playing.

Memories finds your best photos and videos and weaves them together into a memorable movie — complete with theme music, titles, and cinematic transitions — that you can personalize and share. So you can enjoy a curated collection of your trips, holidays, friends, family, pets, and more. And when you use iCloud Photos, all edits automatically sync to your other devices.

The moment you’re looking for, always at hand.

With Search, you can look for photos based on who’s in them or what’s in them — like strawberries or sunsets. Or combine search terms, like “beach 2017.” If you’re looking for photos you imported a couple of months ago, use the expanded import history to look back at each batch in chronological order. And in the My Albums tab, you’ll find your videos, selfies, panoramas, and other media types automatically organized into separate albums.

Fill your library, not your device.

iCloud Photos can help you make the most of the space on your Mac. When you choose “Optimize Mac Storage,” all your full‑resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud in their original formats, with storage-saving versions kept on your Mac as space is needed. You can also optimize storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, so you can access more photos and videos than ever before. You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud — and as your library grows, you have the option to choose a plan for up to 2TB.

Make an edit here, see it there. When you make changes on your Mac like editing a photo, marking a Favorite, or adding to an album, they’re kept up to date on your iPhone, your iPad, and iCloud.com. And vice versa — any changes made on your iOS or iPadOS devices are automatically reflected on your Mac.

All your photos on all your devices. iCloud Photos gives you access to your entire Mac photo and video library from all your devices. If you shoot a snapshot, slo-mo, or selfie on your iPhone, it’s automatically added to iCloud Photos — so it appears on your Mac, iOS and iPadOS devices, Apple TV, iCloud.com, and your PC. Even the photos and videos imported from your DSLR, GoPro, or drone to your Mac appear on all your iCloud Photos–enabled devices. And since your collection is organized the same way across your Apple devices, navigating your library always feels familiar.

Resize. Crop. Collage. Zoom. Warp. GIF. And more.

Create standout photos with a comprehensive set of powerful but easy-to-use editing tools. Instantly transform photos taken in Portrait mode with five different studio-quality lighting effects. Choose Enhance to improve your photo with just a click. Then use a filter to give it a new look. Or use Smart Sliders to quickly edit like a pro even if you’re a beginner. Markup lets you add text, shapes, sketches, or a signature to your images. And you can turn Live Photos into fun, short video loops to share. You can also make edits to photos using third-party app extensions like Pixelmator, or edit a photo in an app like Photoshop and save your changes to your Photos library.

Try Bounce to play the action forward and backward. Or choose Long Exposure for a beautiful DSLR‑like effect to blur water or extend light trails. You can also trim, mute, and select a key photo for each Live Photo.

Add some fun filters.

With just a click, you can apply one of nine photo filters inspired by classic photography styles to your photos.

Share here, there, and everywhere.

Use the Share menu to easily share photos via Shared Albums and AirDrop. Or send photos to your favorite photo sharing destinations, such as Facebook and Twitter. You can also customize the menu and share directly to other compatible sites that offer sharing extensions.

Turn your pictures into projects.

Making high-quality projects and special gifts for loved ones is easier than ever with Photos. Create everything from gorgeous photo books to professionally framed gallery prints to stunning websites using third-party project extensions like Motif, Mimeo Photos, Shutterfly, ifolor, WhiteWall, Mpix, Fujifilm, and Wix.

The People album in iOS 11 on iPhone and iPad now syncs automatically with the People album on your Mac in macOS High Sierra. That means, everything you add to the People album on your Mac will also show up in the People album on your iPhone and iPad, and vice-versa. If you want to do the heavy face tag lifting, or just some basic maintenance with the People album right from your iPhone or iPad, here's how.

Things you can't do in the People album on iPhone and iPad that you can do on Mac

Though you can do a lot of cool things in the People album on your iPhone and iPad, there are a few things that are possible in Photos on Mac that are not possible in Photos on iOS.

• Create a new People profile - There doesn't appear to be a way to create a new People profile from scratch at this time. You can, however, create a profile in Photos on Mac, which will sync with your People album on iPhone and iPad.
• Manually add a picture to a People profile - If you see a picture that belongs in a specific profile, but it's not, there currently doesn't seem to be a way to add the picture to that People profile. You can, however, manually add a picture to a profile in Photos on Mac, which will sync with your People album on iPhone and iPad.

How to merge People into one profile

Since your People albums are now syncing across all devices, it's likely that you have a couple of separate profiles for the same people. That's easily fixed.

1. Launch the Photos app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap the Albums tab.

3. Tap the People album.

4. Tap Select in the upper right corner of the screen.

5. Select the Profiles that you want to merge into one.

6. Tap Merge in the bottom right corner of the screen.

7. Tap Yes to confirm that you want to merge the profiles.

Repeat this process for each double-profile you have.

How to rename a People profile

Maybe you have a nickname for a friend, or maybe the Photos app synced your sister's email address instead of her name to her People profile. Whatever the reason you want to change a profile name, you can do so easily.

1. Launch the Photos app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap the Albums tab.

3. Tap the People album.

4. Select the People profile you want to change the name of.

5. Tap the name at the top of the screen.

6. Type in the new name you want for the profile.
7. If the person is one of your contacts you can select that contact from the suggested list.

8. Tap Done.

Now you've got the name you want attached to the profile you want.

How to favorite a People profile

Though we may not want to admit it, we've all got favorite friends and family members. You can put those who matter the most to you right at the top of your People album so they're the easiest to find.

1. Launch the Photos app on your iPhone or iPad.

2. Tap the Albums tab.

3. Tap the People album.

4. Tap the heart on the People profile you want to favorite.

The profile will jump up to the top of your screen and hang out with the rest of your favorite people.

How to view a slideshow of a People profile

Ready to take a walk down memory lane with your best pal? The Photos app's built-in slideshow creator automatically turns your memories into a tear-jerker mini movie.

1. Launch the Photos app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap the Albums tab.

3. Tap the People album.

4. Select the People profile you want to view a slideshow for.

5. Tap the Play button under the key photo.

If you want to change the theme or length of the slideshow, tap the screen to call up the editing tools and make the changes you want.

How to select a specific key photo for a People profile

The Photos app will pick a key photo for you. Sometimes, it's the best of the bunch. Other times ... yech. You can change the key photo, which is the picture that sits at the top of the People profile and is used as the person's thumbnail photo.

1. Launch the Photos app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap the Albums tab.

3. Tap the People album.

4. Select the People profile you want to change the key photo for.

5. Tap Select at the top right corner of the screen.

6. Select the picture you want to make the key photo.
7. Tap the Share button in the bottom left corner of the screen.

8. Tap Make Key Photo.

The photo you chose will be the new key photo for that People profile.

How to remove a picture from a profile

Sometimes, the Photos app will identify a face that does not, in fact, match the person in it. Or sometimes a person's face is in a photo, but its way in the background (like a photo on the wall) and not really related to the the person. You can remove pictures that don't belong in a person's profile.

1. Launch the Photos app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap the Albums tab.

3. Tap the People album.

4. Select the People profile you want to remove a photo from.
5. Tap Select at the top right corner of the screen.

6. Tap the photo that doesn't belong in the People profile.

7. Tap the Share button in the bottom left corner of the screen.

8. Tap Not This Person.

3D Touch tip:If you have a 3D Touch supported device, you can also Peek on any photo and slide up to get to the Not this Person option.

The picture will be removed from the profile. If the same photo appears in multiple profiles (I have a picture of my Mac that has a picture of the People section on it that was tagged with about a half dozen of my People profiles), you'll have to remove it from each profile individually.

How to un-favorite a People profile

So your BFF is not your BFF anymore and you don't want to see her smiling mug in your favorites section. No problem, she's out!

1. Launch the Photos app on your iPhone or iPad.

2. Tap the Albums tab.

3. Tap the People album.

4. Tap the heart on the People profile you want to un-favorite.

That profile will go back down into the list with all the not-so-favorite profiles.

How to remove a People profile entirely

Not only is your BFF not your BFF anymore, but she's not even your friend at all and you can't stand to see her smiling mug anywhere in your People album. Have no fear, you can nix her face right out of there.

1. Launch the Photos app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap the Albums tab.

3. Tap the People album.

4. Tap Select in the upper right corner of the screen.

5. Select the People profile you want to remove.

6. Tap Remove in the bottom left corner of the screen.

7. Tap Remove from People Album to confirm that you want to remove the entire profile from the People album.

Warning: You can't create a new People profile on your iPhone or iPad (though you can do so on the Mac), so consider carefully whether you want to remove that profile.

The profile will disappear from the People album, but the photos will not be deleted. You'll have to do that manually.
