Unfortunately, you can’t select which portion gets these effects-it seems like an algorithm-driven choice. And you can trim out unwanted parts of the clip.īut Apple added transformative features common in Instagram and other photo apps: Loop, which turns a subset of the live portion into a continuous cycle and Bounce, loops in a sequence of forward to the end and then backwards to the beginning. You can turn the feature off, as before, and mute its audio, but you can also select a new “key photo,” or the image displayed when the photo is at rest.
Live Photos can be transformed into loops, bounces, and long exposures.Ĭlick Edit with a Live Photo selected, and the Adjust tab of the editing window shows Live Photos-specific tools at the bottom. Photos 3 finally lets you create new kinds of results-not just in iOS (where the feature is somewhat hidden), but in macOS as well. While Apple improved some aspects of Live Photos in iOS 10, such as adding image stabilization, they remained a Harry Potterish gimmick. (iOS 11 seems to have upped the frame rate on those, making them smoother.) Live Photos seemed like a clever idea in search of a reason. I confess I never much liked Live Photos, because there wasn’t much you could do with them, except play them back with the random before/after videos. Live Photos get a purpose (and editing gets better) Fluffy Friends over the Years shows every dog and cat I’ve apparently ever photographed, using the scene analysis algorithms that also let you search by keywords like dog and cat. Photos 3 shows every previous import operation, organized by date.Īnd Apple has clearly seeded smart ideas into the mix.
On average, they seem less bizarre, and less like a rogue robot assembled them. The improved Memories feature shows what seems to be a better selection of photos, probably by working harder to find common sets of faces and perform sentiment analysis to find smiles and people looking at the camera. Let’s just say it could be fairly haphazard in the previous version, producing some howlers in terms of odd photos chosen-sometimes blurry or nearly empty-and not quite getting what might have made that period significant. Introduced last year, Photos’ Memories feature collects photos around a location, a time or holiday, or a theme determined in part by machine learning, which also then highlights the photos in that assembled set that it thinks are most representative. Photos’ Memories look like human memories
