![]() ![]() The brush size is always the size of your fingertip, so to adjust it, you need to zoom in and out of the photo. My other gripe with brushes is that you cannot adjust the brush size - well, not directly anyway. When you're done applying the brush, just turn the strokes off to see the results. ![]() Turning this on displays all your strokes in red. However, the alternative that's available is the option to show your strokes. But if you're making subtle changes, it's very hard to notice. My biggest complaint is that iPhoto doesn't use a circle to show where you're touching - the only visual cue is to see the results of the brush. To use a brush, you simply use your finger to "paint" the areas of your photo you the affect applied to. The Repair brush will removes things like blemishes, dust marks, and scratches. There are 8 of them: Repair, Red Eye, Saturate, Desaturate, Lighten, Darken, Sharpen, and Soften. The best editing feature of iPhoto is the brushes. Lastly, you can make select a white point on your photo with the custom white balance tool. There is also a Face Balance tool that lets you choose a person's face and iPhoto will automatically choose a good white balance for the skin tone. You can also adjust white balance with the typical presets that come with most apps and cameras: sun, cloudy, flash, shade, incandescent, and fluorescent. Doing the same thing anywhere on your photo, but vertically, will adjust the saturation. For example, holding your finger on the sky will pop up the Blue Skies tool and sliding your finger left or right will adjust the slider. ![]() To make color adjustments, you can move sliders provided at the bottom of the editing screen, or you can just drag your finger directly on the parts of the photo that correspond wit the color type. There is an option to preserve skin tones when making color adjustments, but it's mediocre at best. This is the perfect time to mention that iPhoto does not support layers or masking, so you cannot exclude a portion of your photo from an effect or adjustment taking place. If you don't have greenery or blue skies in your photo, it produces horrific results. Included in the color adjustments tab is options to adjust saturation, white balance, and skin tones as well as smarter adjustments for blue skies and greenery. It also does not support plugins.The basic editing tools include cropping, auto enhance, and exposure. Aperture users may find Photos for OS X lacking, however, as it does not have advanced tools like a loupe or brushable adjustments. Photos for OS X has been described by many as an excellent replacement for iPhoto, as it includes more advanced tools and it runs much faster. The two apps remained available for download from the Mac App Store for approximately a day after Photos for OS X was released, but attempting to access them via search now gives no results and clicking through from an external Mac App Store link gives an "Item Not Available" message.Īpple has ceased development on Aperture and iPhoto to concentrate its resources on Photos for OS X, its new photo editing software that integrates with the Photos for iOS app and iCloud Photo Library to let users access their complete set of photos on any device. Apple warned that development would stop on the two photo editing apps in the middle of last year, and put notices in the Mac App Store a couple months ago to let users know the apps would be pulled from sale following the launch of Photos. Following Wednesday's release of OS X 10.10.3 and the new Photos for OS X app, Apple has, as promised, removed Aperture and iPhoto from the Mac App Store.
