Tutorial Description

We often overlook the depth of the software we already have on our Macs. One example is Apple's Photos, which has amazing tools that are kept folded away so they don't intimidate those who don't want or need these advanced options. To help you understand what you can do using these tools, Allison dives deep into every one of the editing controls, using a variety of shots from her personal library.

You learn about all 12 adjustments and all of their options, including things like the difference between Definition and Sharpen. Allison explains why you might see Filters while other times you'll see Styles in Photos, the differences between Curves and Levels (and which of the two she prefers) and much more.

This tutorial was recorded on a Mac running macOS Sequoia 15.2.

Thank you for a great video! You go over many settings that I have played, with but really not really understood. Having the right example photo makes a big difference. Now I might actual try curves and levels settings.
