Join Derrick Story for an in-depth discussion in this video Next steps, part of Photos for OS X Essential Training.
- Someone the other day asked me what was my favorite…feature of El Capitan, Mac OS X 10.11?…And I thought about it for a second,…because I think it's a good OS update,…and I said, Photos for OS X is really my favorite feature.…Adding those editing extensions, adding GPS tagging,…just making the whole thing just run nice and smooth,…and how well it integrates with everything else…in my Photos environment with my iPad…and my iPhone and my other Macs,…really makes this application a delight to use.…
So here we are, 100 photos and 1 video later.…We've done a lot of things here,…and I've really enjoyed working on this application.…I've enjoyed sharing this information with you.…And I would say now, the next step is for you…is to practice these things that we've learned,…because here's what I predict is going to happen…with Photos: I think it's going to continue to develop…and I think what we see now is going to be even different…than we see a few years from now;…I think we'll see more functionality.…
I think it's very exciting what may happen…
