Apple Photo App For Mac

Hardly anyone prints photographs these days, but you, or your parents, might have lots of old snapshots from years ago. How do you get them into the Photos app on your Mac? Everyone has old printed photographs in the family and you might have ones taken yourself before mobile phones and even before digital cameras became popular. Our parents, grandparents and other relatives will also have boxes and albums full of old photo prints too. All these old snaps should be digitised and stored in the Photos app on your Mac. There are several advantages of doing this: • Photos can easily be found when you want to view them.

• Photos can be organised into albums. • Photos can be turned into slide shows. • Photos can be used as desktop backgrounds. • Photos can be repaired and enhanced. • Photos are backed up on the Mac and online. To turn printed photos into digital ones requires a scanner. This could be a stand-alone model, but all-in-one devices that print, scan and copy are very popular these days and they will do the job too.

I have an old HP DeskJet 3050 all-in-one device that is wireless and does everything. Your printer/scanner will be a different model, but it will work the same way. The device’s software could be used to scan in the photos, but instead the Image Capture app will be used. It is bundled with OS X and is in the Applications folder. (Look in the Applications/Utilities folder if it is not there.) Put a photograph in the scanner.
