The whole idea of Apple Photos is to create a safe, secure library of pictures that can be called up and exported on demand, customized for their particular destination.
As a lover of photos in general, and the caretaker of my own family picture library, it tears me apart whenever I hear someone caught in that terrible place. That one where their iPhone is crushedsoakedloststolendeadgone and it's the only place their honeymoonnewbornlatefatheroldfriend's photos exist.
In 2002 amateur photographers were thrilled by how they could make photo books and order prints without ever leaving iPhoto. True to the Apple brand, the books were easy to create and the quality was as good or better than comparable books from other printers. You didn’t have to export pictures to another bookmaking app or create an account with another company. People made Apple photo books for all kinds of events and occasions.
When you see a portrait that looks “professional,” chances are you’re reacting to the depth of field effect commonly seen with high-quality lenses on pro cameras.
The iPhone can’t offer that same depth of field effect naturally, but by using some digital magic, Apple has created a way to simulate the effect and give you the same tools as a portrait photographer.
