In this lesson, I'm going to look at more features of the Photos App and in this one,
we're looking at how to share photos, and how to create and show a slideshow and how
to delete photos. So when you open up the Photos app and I'm now in the Moments View,
I can share one photo or multiple photos. Now what does it mean to share? Share means
you're going to send that photo to another app or you're going to mail it or you're going
to post it to Twitter or Facebook or Pinterest. You're just giving it somewhere else, putting
it somewhere else and in the Moments view, if I wanted to share all the photos in that
moment, I could tap the Share button here and then I could share that whole moment.
All of those 4 pictures would be shared together instead of me selecting them one by one. Or
I could share some photos of that moment. So by picking a couple, I could just share
a couple of them. Now if you don't want to do it that way, you can tap the Select button
and then select the photos, if it's multiple photos that you want to share. Once you've
selected your photos, you tap the Share button and then we have all of these options here
that we could share to. If I wanted to share just a single picture, then I open that picture
in Moments view and tap the Share button and then I have the sharing options. So let's
look at the sharing options first before we actually do share some. So there are two rows
here. The top one is the Sharing Events and there are apps that you can share your photo
to and the one at the bottom are Sharing Actions where I can assign this photo as wallpaper,
or put it on the contact and have the picture there, Airplay it to another device, copy
it to another app. In this instance, if I wanted to send this picture to Facebook for
example. I've got it selected, you can see the tick there, and I can tap Facebook because
I want to share it with Facebook and in order to use Facebook and Twitter, Vimeo which is
a video sharing app, then you need to have signed in already. Now I'd be able to post
this picture because I've already signed in in the Settings. Let's come out of Photos
for a minute, into Settings, you've got Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and Vimeo. So if you wanted
to share your pictures to those social networks, then you need to have signed in to those apps,
logged in with your accounts, and once you've done that, you won't have to sign in each
time. Now if you, if you wanted to share it to somewhere else then again you'll have to
sign in with your account before you'll be able to post it there. So I can post this
to Facebook, could put it in an album if I want to, put in a message if I want to or
just post it so I just post it up to Facebook and now I've shared that picture and it will
appear in my Facebook feed. Let's check it. You can hear it going now, the whoosh. And
this is my Facebook feed so it's just happened instantly. There's the picture, waiting for
some comments. Now what, go back to photos and have a closer look at the sharing options.
There are many more different things you can do now in iOS 8 so you can have many more
apps that you can share a photo directly to that app and if you tap More, any app that
I have installed on my system that I'd like to use to share photos to, I simply turn it
on. So if I wanted to add some photos directly to Pinterest, then I have to turn it on. Any
of those applications can accept photos directly from the Photos app and I can just move them
up and down, and in order of importance. So My Cloud, for example, I can send a photo
straight to that, which is a cloud sharing service for a series of hard drives that I
have. And anything you don't want to share to, you just turn off and then you tap Done.
If I was going to be sharing to Pinterest in favour of, you know, ahead of Flickr, then
I can just reorder them. And if I think that Flickr is more important than Pinterest, I
can just move it up and down. You can also share it to iCloud Photo sharing so that's
going to go into your Photostream. The other way to share is with Airdrop. Now Airdrop
will work with anyone who has an iPhone or an iPod Touch or a MAC computer. You can send
photos directly to that person. Any device that is within reach will be displayed here
so it can see my iPhone. So if I tap that and it's going to contact my phone and send
the picture directly to the phone. You can sort of see it there. The one on the left
there is the phone and that picture's been sent to that phone. So I want to send this
photo, I want to share it. It's waiting (Alert sounds] I've shared that photo. That's the
photo there that I've just shared with the iPhone. The iPhone is up on the left there.
So it's another way of getting photos across from device to device. If you want to share
them to email, let's pick a few pictures. Selecting 12,2,3,4 maybe 5 pictures and I
want to email; those. So I'm going to select the pictures, tap the sharing button and I'm
going to mail them. Now you can send 5 images, no more than 5 at a t time. It puts them into
an email, just one under the other and you can address the email so I'll send it to myself
and before you do that, if you tap here, in the images section, you've got to decide how
you're going to send those images. Are they going across at actual size, and if you do
that, it's going to be a 3 mb email which is quite large. Or are you just going to send
little small thumbnail versions of it. Email is not necessarily the best way to share photos
to other people. I'll just send that as an email and send. (Whoosh alert sound] So it's
going to send that. And they won't go across as full quality. Now with a group of photos,
you can also show them as a slideshow. So if we go back into photos, in the Shared Album,
we can show those as a slideshow. Any of the albums can be seen as a slideshow so if I
open up, which is these pictures here, they can be viewed as a slideshow. You can create
a slideshow on the go, if you like, going into the Camera Roll, selecting a whole lot
of photos, so just anything and the Camera Roll is just any photo you've taken at any
point in time. There is no organisation to it. Now I can Add That To, Create a New Album,
let's call it Slideshow, Save, so I could create a slideshow that way as well. So I've
now created an album which has got photos that I want to use as a slideshow. So if I
want to show as a slideshow, I tap Slideshow and then I've got, in my case, I've got a
couple of locations where I can show those images. If you have an Apple TV, then you
can display these photos directly to that Apple TV. In this case, I'll show them on
the iMAC because that's where I'm projecting this screencast. And you can have the transitions,
so as the photos change, how do you want those to be, what do you want the transitions to
be, and you can't have a different transition for each photo but I'll just say Dissolve
for all of them. If you want to play music, you can turn that on and then select some
music from your music library that is on your iPad, so I've got a number of things I could
connect there. I won't do that at this stage. And then just start Slideshow, and because
of the way I'm filming this, I'm not going to be able to show you that. But it will just
transition every so many seconds and you set that up in the Settings, Photos and Camera,
and you have Slideshow, how long do you want to play it for. I want to play, each one for
10 seconds, and I want them to be shuffled. So you can set that up in your settings first
before you play the slideshow. Now to delete photos, go back to Albums, and into Photos.
So I can, I can delete an individual photo by going to the photo, and just tapping the
Trash and Delete Photo. So one photo is gone that way. If you want to delete multiple photos,
Select, just select the photos you want to delete So I want to delete these two and then
the Trash. Delete two photos. Now as you're deleting these photos, in iOS 8 they're going
to the Recently Deleted Album. So in this album here, the last two photos that I deleted
are in the top here. So this is the ones I've just deleted today, they all have 30 days.
Any photo that you trash will go into the Recently Deleted Album where it will stay
for 30 days, and then it will just drop off. So the one’s down here have one day left
before they just drop off the Album. If you want to delete it immediately, then just go
into Select, and say select these two, I want to delete these immediately or again I could
select, say this picture, and recover it, and it'll go back into the same place it came
from. It's a safety net, if you like in case you really didn't want to delete it. To delete
photos in albums, go into this album here. I can select, and I can select one picture
and trash it and that picture will be removed from the album but it's still in the Camera
Roll and I can select multiple pictures to remove them from the album and trash them.
Or if I wanted to delete the whole album, just tap the Edit. Any album that is able
to be deleted will have a black cross. The ones that haven't are either the Default ones
that come with the iPad or have been synced across with iTunes. So i'll delete that, Slideshow1
and I'll get an "Are you Sure" message, yes I'm sure, delete and tap Done. If I was in
the Years, in the Collections View and I wanted to delete a picture, say this one. If I tap
and hold, it becomes a thumbnail, I can let go which opens that picture as an individual
Moment and then I can trash it. Delete it. So in this lesson, we looked at how you shared
photos and created slideshows, created a Photo Stream and how to delete photos.
