You can turn that off in Photos Preferences. This is something we had in iOS before but now it's new to the Mac Photos app.Īnother new feature is that in Years, Months, Days, and All Photos if you move the cursor over a live photo or video it automatically starts playing there in the thumbnail. You've got settings here where you can change the music and also the length of this memory video. But in my main library when I shrink it all the way these actually become quite small little thumbnails.Īnother new feature is in Memories if you go to a particular memory you'll see a Play button here and you'll be able to play a video here showing a movie of this memory. In this collection here of samples there's only about four or five hundred pictures and this is how small it gets. You also have the ability to shrink or enlarge the size of these. Then you can scroll through and instead of having a lot of blank space there it could be a lot easier to spot things if they're all the same size square. It zooms in, more or less, on the center of the photo although it's supposed to use intelligence to figure out if there's a more interesting part of the photo to show. So you click there and now they're all square. But we have a new feature now where you can, instead of seeing every bit of all the different photos, giving you some vertical, some horizontal, some landscape ones, you can now go and see them all as square photos. If you select that you just get this grid list showing you all the photos. Now you still have the All Photos view just like you did before. It allows me to visually keep my place as I move between Years, Months, and Days. If I go into Years you could see that year shrink over there. So I can select a photo, go to Months and you can see it shrink down into that. So to get back to that photo I just double click in there. Kind of visually allowing me to keep my place to where things are. So, for instance, if I select this photo here and I go to Months you can see how it shrunk that photo into here. Notice it also uses animation to go in and out of these. You can play a video showing you the photos from that day. Just the ones it thinks are representative of what's in there. ![]() Then it breaks it up using, kind of, some sort of logic to figure out what the best photo is, or the most interesting one at least, and then smaller and smaller thumbnails for different photos. So, for instance, if we keep moving we see a new day there and we keep moving more we see a new day there. Here it groups everything by day in a big scrolling list and you can see the days as you move by. When you double click on one of these you'll jump down to Days. Sometimes these will be days but different locations inside that day. For instance for this month you can see it's broken up showing three different days that photos were taken. The groups are usually broken up in different ways. Sometimes two, sometimes three, sometimes even more. Some months will be represented by a single photo. ![]() So you can switch between Years and Months either by clicking up here or by being in Years and double clicking on a year to jump into it. Now when you do that you'll end up in months. Then you can double click to jump into any year. It takes one photo from that year and uses that as the thumbnail. If you shrink this window enough you'll have a pull down menu instead of four buttons. If you don't see these four options up here click on Photos on the left. This is a good thing because Collections and Moments was kind of confusing. That's that now things are organized by Years, Months, and Days rather than Years, Collections, and Moments. Now it isn't too different from Photos version 4 that came with macOS Mojave but one of the biggest changes is right there, upfront, for you to see immediately. So with macOS Catalina we get Photos version 5. Go to /patreon There you can read about the Patreon campaign, join us and get exclusive content. MacMost is made possible thanks to viewers like you.
