In my never-ending quest to simplify my photographic workflow (and also my life workflow) — I’ve discovered that Apple Photos is actually a very strong alternative to Adobe Lightroom (or perhaps– even superior?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Benefits of Apple Photos over Adobe Lightroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
  1. Faster: Loads photos faster when scrolling through images<\/li>
  2. Simpler: Superfluous functions are taken away; stripped down to the essentials.<\/li>
  3. Simpler workflow: I like the simple ‘heart’ or ‘favorite’ ❤️ icon as a way to quickly ‘flag’ (select your best photos).<\/li>
  4. Simpler ways to process your photos (I really like the Apple Photos ‘Light’ function to adjust the brightness of your images– it works very well!)<\/li>
  5. Free: Included with Mac, iPhone, iPad. The frustration with always having to login to Adobe Lightroom — and having to pay a monthly subscription fee.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Why not as much love for Apple Photos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    My theory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A lot of people look down on Apple photos because it isn’t “pro” enough.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Truth be told, it seems that Apple Photos does at least 85% of what Adobe Lightroom can do, but it simplifies your photographic workflow process, while allowing you to view, post-process, and export your photos faster and simpler!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I honestly think that Apple Photos is one of the most underrated tools for Apple\/Mac\/iPhone\/iPad. This piece of software alone is worth the investment in any Apple device — and it’s free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    I plan on using more of Apple photos for my photographic workflow, and will keep you updated!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
