In case you haven’t heard,. Apple is putting all your photos into one basket called simply, “Photos.” It will no longer be offering either of its current photo management tools, iPhoto or Aperture. The iPhoto App on the iPad is already disabled if you upgraded to iOS 8. The Macintosh version will wait till sometime next year when OSX Yosemite is released.

If you’ve continued to use iPhoto after Apple discontinued it in 2015, you had to know its days were numbered. Many people preferred iPhoto’s controls and the new Photos app was initially. The application allows you to attempt various modes within the slideshow element. Moreover, the application allows you to enhance your images through creating with the help of Books feature within the app. IPhoto incorporates restricted photo streaming option that automatically synchronizes your images with your various iOS gadgets. Picasa for Mac.

I can’t find any information on whether you will still be able to use the iPhoto you currently have, or whether it will stop working like on the iPad. Of course, Apple is providing a migration path to its Photos app and, with full integration of, I expect that this is going to be a very good option. It sounds a lot like Google+ Photos actually, especially the Auto Backup part!I recommend following this procedure now just to be sure that your pictures are not held hostage by iPhoto. You see, iPhoto keeps all your pictures in its proprietary library structure.

If you look at your Mac’s folders and files (using Finder,) you will only see one – very large – file for your iPhoto LIbrary. All your pictures are inside that ‘package’ and you can only view them using iPhoto. Picasa, on the other hand is not a container for your photos. It is a tool for viewing, organizing, and editing that works with the individual.jpg files in your computer’s filing system. So, this process of “migrating from iPhoto to Picasa” is really just copying all the pictures out of your iPhoto library and putting them into folders where Picasa – or any other program that works with.jpg files – can see them.If you’ve been thinking about using Picasa, the announced end of iPhoto gives you the reason to do that now. Picasa for Mac provides the tools to do the work quite easily. This video shows you the process: (please note the comment by Michele below – make sure to check that all your pictures did, indeed, get imported.

If not, use iPhoto’s export function). GeeksontourChris is a teacher.

Mmmm – maybe not quite as straightforward as this. I have a Mac but have always disliked iPhoto so eventually decided to go back to Picasa (used to use it in my pre-Mac days). When I imported all my iPhoto library into Picasa, it did pull in all the photos but not with any of the Event names – the imported pictures have numbers that mean nothing and are organised in no recognisable way – the only way to identify what is in each photo is to actually open it. I had a lot of photos in iPhoto and cannot now spend the time sorting them all out again in Picasa so, unfortunately, it’s back to iPhoto and wait to see what Apple comes up with.Like.

CAUTION about using the import from iPhoto option in Picasa. I used this on mine and my husband’s imac, and thought everything worked until I looked at the number of photos Picasa actually imported.

I have 12,077 photos in my iphoto database, and Picasa only imported 360 photos! Picasa only imported less than 300 of his photos. I don’t know why Picasa didn’t import all photos, but make sure that all of your photos imported before getting rid of them in iPhoto! In addition, Picasa created strange, meaningless folders when it imported my pictures from iPhoto.A better option — use iPhoto’s export function. It will export all photos (use the subfolder format option to create a folder for each event). You can specify where you want your exported folders to be placed (I put them on my external picture drive where the rest of my Picasa folders are).

When you open Picasa, it will automatically recognize the new pictures in their event folders with no ‘imported from iPhoto’ collection name. If you want to identify them as photos exported from iPhoto, just create an iPhoto export folder in your pictures folder and export them to that folder from iPhoto.Thanks for the tips on Picasa, I’ve just started using it in earnest and am, for the most part, happy with it’s ease of use.Like. That’s a little misleading. IPhoto is not “going away”.

Apple is merging features from their professional photo editor Aperature and their consumer-friendly iPhoto product into a mid-tier product that that they are simply calling “Photos”. It’s not a new product, per se, as it retains most of the look, feel, and usability of iPhoto that people are familiar with. But it’s not a simple renaming either. It includes many new features taken from Aperature. The removal of “i” in the product name is consistent with Apple’s slow departure from that nomenclature styling.The idea that your photos in iPhoto are “held hostage” is strongly worded and not quite in line with reality. You could make the same argument about Gmail, Google+ Photos, Gcal, and dozens of Google products, as well as other services by Microsoft, Apple, and Facebook.

As long as you can safely export your data with all your metadata intact, none of these services are holding your data “hostage”. In fact, in terms of privacy, Apple is the industry leader, so when it comes to their upcoming integration of iCloud storage and the new photo library, users will have more security than Google – or at least equivalent.Lastly, there are few functions that Picasa performs that iPhoto does not. And it’s considerably slower on a Mac.

Additionally, once you install Google software on your Mac you open a veritable “porthole” to some of your life (don’t get me started on Chrome). Read the TOS. Moreover, why install duplicate software? Is it really THAT much better, or are we just really picky people with too much free time on our hands? The web is full of forums whining about Mac hard drives being full, yet you get incredibly great software free when you buy a Mac. But people go and install more software that does the same thing, is not nearly as well-integrated into other apps in the O/S, and in some cases, costs more money. Rarely do they run as fast as the native Mac apps.

With the proliferation of flash-based storage (which while much faster, is pricier, and as a result most people buy less storage than a typical hard drive), installing duplicate apps, which then go on to create more metadata, database indexes, and use reporting bandwidth of your usage, seems to me to be something that should not be done lightheartedly.I’m not a Mac Addict; I have a few Chromebooks. But make no mistake that Google is in the “give us your data business so we can show advertisements to you”; it’s 90% of their income. Apple isn’t in that business. Neither way is wrong, per se, but if anyone thinks Picasa is just some really cool free photo manager with no installation implications, and that Apple iPhoto is “going away” and holding their precious photo collections “hostage”, they would be seriously misinformed.Like. Do NOT do this. What the heck was Google thinking? It scatters your photos into a thousand different completely random subfolders with no rhyme or reason.You would think when you have an Event called Mother’s Day in iPhoto with all photos being taken on the same exact day that Picasa would important them into a folder called “Mother’s Day”.

Instead you’ll get folders with a random date name and then every photo will get scattered into random subfolders called%mARz2anQGSVo4X7HEhYcA or +Chz97IhSbVLldJW7hbPkA etc etc. Picture hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of these completely randomly named folders. You get the point. So again do NOT ever allow Picasa to directly import from iPhoto. It doesn’t know how to.

It doesn’t work.If you want to convert from iPhoto to Picasa you need to export each Event one by one into properly named folders and then import those folders into Picasa. That is the only way period.

If you really want you can have Picasa do it for you but don’t say you haven’t been warned about what will happen.Like.
