Q: Photos stripped great features from iPhoto.

With the migration from iPhoto to Photos, I have lost pictures, found many duplicate pictures, lost ALL facial tags, lost the date information (causing photos to turn up in the wrong year/month), and lost the ability to tag the location to photos I take with my DSLR.  I am thoroughly disappointed with this app, and more so with how Apple has caused the loss of many photos with the transition.

Apple, you really dropped the ball with this change...

    Last April called and wanted its insight back. There's a forum for Photos you know... and remember that Apple aren't here, you're just talking to other users.

    Do you have a specific issue you'd like some help with for a workaround or solution if there is one?  Tell Apple what missing features you'd like restored or new features added in Photos via  Apple-Photos Feedback.

     

    The feedback is working as can be seen from the following paragraph in this Apple webpage: Apple OS X El Capitan.

    Photos has been fine-tuned to make it even easier to manage your library. Now you can add a location to a single image or to an entire Moment. Naming your favorite people in Faces is faster with a streamlined workflow. You can also sort your albums — and the contents inside them — by date, title, and more.

    Being Version 1 there's a lot of room for improvement and with enough prodding we can help Apple get to where we'd like it to be.

    Old Toad,

      Thanks for the info.  I'll head over to that URL.

    Always nice when someone offers some constructive feedback vs slagging someone needlessly in a forum.
