Summary Build a stress-free workflow to import, tag, rate, and organize your digital photos! Updated April 4, 2017 Digital photography expert Jeff Carlson helps you understand the strengths and weaknesses of the three most popular photo-management applications: Photos from Apple, and Lightroom and Photoshop Elements from Adobe . Once you've picked the app that's right for you (there's a chapter on migrating to Lightroom from iPhoto, Aperture, or Photos), you'll learn to create a streamlined workflow for importing, evaluating, keywording, and tagging your photos so they are sorted into logical groups and are easy to find. For each of these essential aspects of your workflow, Jeff provides step-by-step instructions for each of the three covered apps. You'll also learn how to easily locate and remove duplicates. Think you don't have time for all of that? Learn to use the artificial intelligence in Apple's Photos and in Google Photos to do the heavy lifting of identifying faces, objects, and more in your photo collection. You'll also find advice on how mobile/cloud solutions fit into the mix, with notes on Google Photos, iCloud Photo Library, Lightroom mobile, Amazon Prime Photos, and Mylio. It's all too easy to lose everything if you don't have backups, so Jeff also discusses how to back up and archive photos to protect your irreplaceable photographic memories. You'll find expert advice about each of these photo-management topics: Shooting smarter: Make sure your camera is set to the correct time (and time zone), choose a file format, and think about capturing geolocation data while you're taking photos. Choosing the right app: Read about the pros and cons of the most popular photo-management applications -- Photos, Lightroom, and Photoshop Elements -- and find directions for migrating to Lightroom from iPhoto, Aperture, or Photos.

Jeff focuses on Apple's Photos app, which has quite a few helpful features, but also provides notes on Google Photos and Amazon Prime Photos.
