I have the Photos App turned off and only use it to copy exported images to the iCloud Photostream. It does not need to be any faster than this if you want to prevent unwanted disasters. With this you get a warning dialog with an option to remove the files from the catalog OR delete from the disk. You can fine it on the menu or you can use the shortcut key. At some point you may decide to delete these rejected photos. If you put a filter on your grid view these disappear from view. With LR you can flag undesirable images as rejected (x). Deleting is really not such an important thing to do up front.
#SNAPSELECT WITH APPLE PHOTOS HOW TO#
Johan has already described how to delete image files quickly (and risky). That said, iPhoto and LR do not play well together.
#SNAPSELECT WITH APPLE PHOTOS UPGRADE#
You should really upgrade the OS to Yosemite (soon to ElCapitan) When you do that, the iPhotos app will go away to be replaced by the new Photos app that mirrors the functionality found with iOS devices. iPhoto is an obsolete app that Apple no longer supports. Or if there is a post on this subject I have missed. I am not a Lr expert if there is something I am missing about using Lr for sharing or importing please let me know. I have also found that sharing is much easier using iphoto and icloud than any option I have found in Lr, is there something I am missing?Īnd now that apple is switching to photo from iPhoto does that affect any of what I am trying to do above? Do you have the option of creating any file structure when importing with Lr or are they all in one default folder? Do the edited pictures get imported or just the original, or both? Do I have any choices of what Lr imports? Can I pick and chose what it imports, by album or individual selections? Does it import what's in the trash (I hope not)? How does the plug-in import function work, is it one shot deal or can I use it over and over and it will keep track of what I have imported before? After I have done my initial sort and delete on iphoto am I better off doing an export (full size) in iPhoto and standard import into Lr or using the iPhoto plug-in import function of Lr 5.7? The one key stroke delete along with along with a devoted photos trash works better for me than Lightroom sequence. There times when I literally have hundreds of photos to delete. So far I have found that iphoto to be more efficient for deleting. This is not the case for the time setting which is very quick.I found that first and biggest job in photo organizing is deleting photos and shrinking unimportant photos. Unfortunately, if you want to change the accuracy settings, Snapselect has to go through the entire process of analyzing them again. The default option is Normal accuracy and infinite in time, so if you have a source image you took three years ago along with a copy you edited yesterday, Snapselect will group them together.

Building thumbnails and analyzing them for similarities took quite a bit longer, perhaps an hour in total on my MacBook Pro Retina. While the importing is fast (I was able to import several thousand images in just a few minutes.

You can also work with libraries from iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, or just folders of images. This is actually a better option if you have an organized library, with your images grouped by similarity - handy if you've shot a couple of dozen images of the same subject and only want to import two or three of them. You can either work with images already on your computer, or you can import directly from a memory card. An affordable option ($14.99), using a patented image recognition method, Snapselect will automatically group similar images together, selecting the images you want for sharing or editing, and deleting the unwanted shots.
#SNAPSELECT WITH APPLE PHOTOS MAC#
Snapselect is a Mac only app, as you might expect from a company named Macphun. This is the person Snapselect was designed for. And, this often leads to have many copies of the same image cluttering up your drive. A surprising number of people use no organized method of storing their images, making it difficult to find what you're looking for among thousands of files that typically have nondescript names like IMG_2001.JPG or something similar. For many people, the biggest challenge with digital photography is finding the images after you've uploaded them.
