Photos – and iPhoto before it – has never been a mere tool for organizing pictures and videos; it’s also packed with useful editing features.
In macOS High Sierra, Apple has made big changes to this aspect of the app. It’s now easier to manage imports and filter albums – and you can do far more with Live Photos. The app feels more considered for fine-tuning images, too. Its new Curves and Selective Color tools add a professional sheen, and the revamped interface is more usable, making a bigger range of adjustment tools immediately accessible by housing them within a scrolling pane.
As ever, though, Photos remains a non-destructive editor. You can experiment with various adjustments and toggle them using the blue check mark buttons.
