welcome back everyone my name is joel feld and today i want to go over just the simple process
of photos on your ipad and understanding where your pictures are at and a brief overview of the
interface and where things are stored and some tips along the way let's get started
if the ipad is the only thing that you own perfect if you also own a mac or an iphone there's going
to be a lot of similarities between this ipad and your mac and your phone and we're going to kind of
show a little bit of that as we go along so i have my ipad here and so let's go ahead and get started
now anytime you take a photograph whether it's on your phone or your ipad you have your traditional
camera so i have my my camera here and i can take a photograph and i can go and take a picture press
the white button and that picture falls right below that that shutter button and if i touch that
that shows me quickly the last photos that i took i wouldn't recommend getting into the habit of
always going to the camera app to go find your photos because the camera app is designed to
take the pictures not organize your photos yes it gets you kind of through a back door to your
photographs but get into the habit of going to photos of where your photos actually live so here
in the camera app i can scroll through my pictures and i can go back to the camera and i can touch
that photo again but the thing is i want to exit out of the camera and go directly to my photos now
when i open up photos depending if it's vertical or horizontal i'm going to show the sidebar on the
left hand side so when it's vertical i'll see that sidebar on the left and if i flip it horizontal
notice in the top left there i have the sidebar to either show or hide so i'm going to go ahead and
touch that one more time now when i'm showing the sidebar i have this whole category of different
albums and organizations that are pre-built for me to help me get started right off the bat i have
library i have for you i have people i have places favorites recent search it really goes through and
does a really good job just without me doing anything to help me organize my pictures along
the way the library at the top that is all of your photos that's every single photo you've ever taken
every single photo that is synced with icloud or not synced with icloud it's all of your pictures
and when you're in your library you'll notice across the top and the towards the top right
we have years months days and all photos all photos literally shows you every single photo
and as i scroll it's gonna go through thousands and thousands and thousands of photos and i can
scroll all the way down towards the bottom and we can see that i have a lot of photos i have twenty
nine thousand some photos i have close to thirty thousand so there's a lot on here all photos
essentially is just showing you everything if i touch days it's breaking it down all my pictures
by day and then by month and then also by year so long story short your ipad is automatically going
to organize your pictures based off of date and because a lot of these pictures are you
either taken with a phone or an ipad or some type of digital camera they're all time stamped
and know the exact time and date that they were taking and even some of them are going
to have gps so they know the exact latitude and longitude of where these photos were taken based
off of the location now what's really cool when you're on years is you know it's going to break
it down year by year and if you just take your finger and you can actually scroll left and right
and go through quickly just to get a preview of the whole entire year and it actually shows
you the month it'll scroll through the the months there for you so i could go to 2020
here and i could scroll quickly through here and i can see everything from january all the way to
december now i can also touch back on all photos and use my fingers to pinch in or pinch out to
again see the photographs so essentially your library is all of your pictures and videos
organized by date on the left hand side then you'll also find a category for you and what this
does is give you suggestions it makes pre-created little memories for you it's really kind of fun
underneath that you have people so this is organizing your photographs based off of who's in
them which is really really nice so i can easily find all of the photographs that lisa is in or our
son hudson or ariana whomever it is i can quickly find all of those people or pictures based off of
people same thing with the location it's going to automatically throw all of the photographs
on a map and as i scroll through here and zoom in it's automatically placing all of these pictures
so that way if i need to know where a photograph or i'm trying to remember if i know the location i
can just go to a map and say oh yeah that's where that picture's at how cool is that underneath
there we have favorites and this is just a way for you to mark your you know top highlighted favorite
photographs you have your recent photographs you have a search where it's automatically going
to do pre-defined searches for you or you could search at the top for you know food for example
and if i type in food and do a search it's now going to show me everything that has or what it
thinks it has food in there sometimes it's right sometimes it's wrong but it's it's technology so
don't believe it a hundred percent but search is kind of nice uh underneath that you have
imports under the utilities which just shows you uh last imported into your ipad
and underneath there you have a category called media types so this is where it automatically
filters out and breaks apart your photographs based off of the type of photograph or video
that they are so for example this is showing me all of my videos this is showing me all selfies
or pictures that were taken from the forward camera we have live photos portrait long exposures
panoramas so all of that oh this is a fun picture so recently we went driving around because that's
what you do when you can't go to stores and stuff during covid uh we went and saw christmas lights
at uh people's houses and so this picture here it was funny they have this whole house that's
completely lit up like beautiful all of these lights everything and the next door
we scroll over they put in rope lighting it just says ditto so i thought that was funny hope you
got a laugh out of that but panoramas i digress let's move on uh time lapses slow motion so again
here under media types it's automatically organizing pictures and content based off of
what mode they were in and so on and so forth underneath the media types we have
our shared albums and shared albums are a way that you can you know create a folder or an album
that you're able to share with anyone whether they have an apple product or not you can share these
photographs to someone halfway around the world and they would be able to see all of the pictures
and videos that you've put in there as well so really really nice then underneath that you have
my albums which are your albums just buckets we'll call it a bucket and you put whatever you want
in that bucket if you want these five photos here and these 10 videos and this photo here
you're organizing it in a very customizable way of whatever you want that album to be so here
i have a key for family 2020 that's their family i have photo clients a folder and then underneath
there i have it broken down into different albums where it has all of the photographs for alice
anika ashley zack all of these pictures are easily defined because i've created the albums with them
if i go to trips same type of thing pictures from california from israel everything is already in an
album so i can quickly find it now i could easily go to the library do a search for israel do a
search for california look on the map and i would find them also but sometimes you want to just do
that manual creation of organization and you can do that on here as well there is an edit button at
the top where it gives you the ability to either delete shared albums or delete albums or create
new albums and in the top right as you're going through all of your photos you're often going to
see these little dots go back to all photos here in the very top right of the ipad it's kind of
hard to see but if you touch that little dot you also have other options to zoom in and it's pretty
much the same thing like pinching inwards and outwards with your with your fingers but you can
you know tell to filter based off of edited photos or favorites so you can do different options there
if i go back to all albums this shows me all of my albums and again you know you're looking
for little options little buttons that pop up depending on the category so notice a little
plus sign here i have the ability to either create a new folder or a new album so the photos really
does a lot and really we haven't even gotten to the editing of it i mean not only can you organize
all of your photo rows but you can go here into a picture touch edit in the top right and you have
all of these different controls of how to edit them you have controls on the left to add filters
you can crop it you can do all sorts of stuff with your pictures directly in the photos app here so
it's much more than just organization so i'm going to touch cancel discard those changes and swipe
down on the screen to bring me back and that's pretty much an overview of photos on your ipad
if you do have an iphone it's very very similar it's just more compact because it's a smaller
screen but yeah get started play around it's a big interface there's lots of tools in there lots of
little hidden buttons here and there depending on what menu you're in but that's that's photos
on the ipad so thank you so much for watching i hope you learned something if you liked what
you saw go ahead and hit that subscribe button tap that little bell and we'll see you next time
