![]() ![]() Screenshot: Fat Cat Software PowerPhotos, from the creator of iPhoto Library Manager, works with your Mac’s Photos app. PowerPhotos is by the same developer, and it’s just as reliable. PowerPhotos gives you a new way to manage photos on Mac. As we head into the new year, why not take control of your Photos library with PowerPhotos? You may recall an app from the iPhoto days called iPhoto Library Manager that gave you a similar set of tools. PowerPhotos has all those tools you’d want for Apple Photos but Apple will never add. PowerPhotos also features a powerful duplicate photo finder, a browser to let you see your photos without even opening up Photos itself, a multi-library search feature, and more. Or, if you already have multiple libraries, use PowerPhotos to merge them while weeding out duplicates along the way. You can also split up your giant library into smaller ones by copying photos and albums with a simple drag and drop, preserving metadata such as descriptions and keywords along the way. With PowerPhotos, you can work with multiple Photos libraries and store them wherever you want, including on an external drive or a network drive. PowerPhotos gives Apple Photos the tools it needs, but Apple didn’t provide. ![]() If you have photos scattered across multiple libraries that you want to merge together, have a library that you want to split up because it’s gotten too large, or want to get rid of duplicate photos, PowerPhotos can help you get your photo collection back in order. I use Apple Photos for all of my photo management but there are certain features that are just too close to the “power user” end of the spectrum for Apple to ever ship them with Apple Photos. ($29.95 new, $14.95 upgrade, 29.PowerPhotos is sponsoring this week and this is the perfect time to pick it up and start cleaning up your Apple Photos library. PowerPhotos 2 is a free upgrade for those who purchased the app on or after 6 April 2022 and is discounted by 50% for those who purchased any previous version of PowerPhotos or iPhoto Library Manager. PowerPhotos 2 now sees and works with any photos in your iCloud photo library (automatically downloading as needed), introduces a more capable export function (with options such as exporting as a flat folder and including videos from Live Photos and all photos from a burst), adds a global menu bar item for quicker access, enables you to organize libraries into groups in the sidebar, quickens the speed of library loading, and uses a new duplicate comparison algorithm that can find more photos that are not quite identical. PowerPhotos works with the built-in Photos app on your Mac and helps you find and eliminate duplicate photos, split large libraries into smaller ones, merge libraries, export photos and albums, and more. #1663: Exploring the Apple Vision Pro, 12 more OS features coming in 2023, new Apple service features, Apollo shuts downįat Cat Software has released PowerPhotos 2.0, a major update for the longstanding Photos library manager that improves performance and handling of iCloud Photos compatibility.#1664: Real system requirements for OS 2023, beware Siri creating alarms instead of timers.#1665: Important OS security updates, abusive Web notifications, solve myopia with an iPhone, Self Service Repair.#1666: Air quality websites and apps, The Password Game.#1667: OS Rapid Security Responses, 1Password and 2FA, using Siri to request music. ![]()
