Does anyone else HATE the new Photos "upgrade"?

Photos is a great consumer program but it clearly is not a professional program like Aperture (or LightRoom, etc) and does not cost what they do - for consumers it is a big improvement over iPhoto but for advanced amateurs and professionals it simply is not a professional program and is not advertised as one nor is it intended to be one - it is intended to support the world's most popular camera - the iPhone and enhance use of it with IOS devices and Macs to sell more IOS devices and iPhones

I wish Apple had continues the professional path but they have not - a business decision on their part

LN

I could not agree more. Events were used by many of us way differently than "moments" or "albums." The bottom Lin is that Photos is way weaker as an organizing tool for your photo collection.

Yes, I really liked I-Photo. I shared photos easily on Facebook with I-Photo, but recently bought a new MacBook Air OS Sierra 10.12. It always brought up my albums/collections, however in Photos, I am unable to access my "Collections", the place where my I-Photos albums were previously easily accessed. With Photos, it brings up all my photos by dates, instead of in the albums I had them all (10,000 images) beautifully organized in I-Photo. They seem scrambled when Photos opens for me to choose an image, scrambled. The only way I can easily access them to share on FB now is by moving the images I want to share to my Desktop temporarily. Also, the editing feature in I-Photo was terrific. I used the Remove Shadows feature on almost every photo and and it worked beautifully. There is no feature in Photos that remotely equals that feature. I'm hoping I can download the I-Photo app and just use that instead of Photos. Also, I was transferring all my albums to Facebook and haven't been able to figure out how to do that with Photos.

Do you have 'iPhoto Events' showing in the sidebar of your copy of Photos.

Csound1 - I do have Photo Events in my sidebar when I open the Photos app on my computer, but strangely, Photo Events, isn't available in the sidebar when I press "Add Photos/Videos" on my FB page/timeline. That's why it's been very frustrating.

Ask FaceBook

I am not the only person having this problem. I've read other people's frustrations. As many others have posted, I-Photo clearly worked with Facebook's technology, however if Photos App doesn't offer the sidebar option for Photo Collections for Facebook image posting, perhaps Apple techs should speak to Facebook techs and resolve the issue for the good of all users.

If it is that important to you tell them.

Apple.com/Feedback

I just did. I wrote my issue on this forum. Surely Apple techs read the forums.

Occasionally they do. But you cannot rely on them to read each and every post here.

If you want to file a feature request or report a problem the safest way is the feedback form. Then you have the guarantee that it will be read. Apple - Photos - Feedback

No they rely on you to tell them, but if it is too much bother to tell them ......

I'm having problems, too. My upgrade to Sierra basically eliminated iPhotos and replaced it with Photos. All of my existing photos are still there...in their original folders...but they are all "untitled"---that is, they no longer have image numbers associated with the individual pictures. New pictures imported from iPhone have the same problem. I thought I could easily change that in "view" but can't figure out how to do it. I have right clicked on each picture, and figured out that I could "title" each picture with the image's number...but that seems like a really lame way to do a task that used to happen automatically. Anybody else have this problem.?

Thank you, Leonie, that was helpful. I'll report it to Apple - Photos - Feedback directly. I appreciate your response.

I don't think this is true. In fact, you can now either "pull" photos from Photos in to Facebook as before, or "push" them from Photos to Facebook via the Photos sharing menu.

When you add a photo to FB, the dialog will show you a section called MEDIA near the bottom. All your Photos events, albums etc. should be visible there.

Yep, couldn't agree more. Photos is more or less exactly how Steve Jobs famously described Android 😟 It is a complete triumph of style over substance, and is so unreliable that 30 seconds after I imported a set of six pics, photos can no longer find them. The interface has been designed by an imbecile, so that when you drag a dark photo to a folder, you can't see the folder, it has an arcane file structure that makes it virtually impossible to see where your photos have gone, and if it wasn't the only way of exporting photos to iCloud photo sharing, I would have vaped it from my disk long ago. As an example of how Apple has moved towards pleasing the short term interests by making great presentations about new features on fundamentally flawed products that they are showing absolutely no intention of fixing, it is hard to think of a better example. Apart from that, it is fine 😀
