AppleMac Users Group Wednesday Workshop
When: Wednesday 5th August
Time: 12:30pm – 2:30pm
Presenter: Bruce Ralph
Location: Anvil House, Level One, Room 2
Apple Photo app update
During this workshop we will be discussing the latest version of the Apple Photos app. It is now even easier to organise, find, and enjoy your photo collection. With a fresh new look, smarter search, and automatic collections, you can quickly locate photos of family, friends, pets, holidays, or special events without scrolling through thousands of pictures.
After that probably best to work with the Clean Up tool which helps you quickly find, improve, and organise your photos with just a few clicks!
These workshops are ideal for those seeking a deeper understanding of the applications and features available on their Mac, iMac or MacBook and iPad.
Workshops are informal and designed to encourage conversation and collaboration among participants. Feel free to bring your MacBook to follow along with the presentation.
