we all take a lot of photos increasingly with our iphones and we share them with whatever device we have handy well now we're bringing together photos with iCloud so that every photo your tat you take are available to you on all of your devices we're not only preserving the common organization edits you do to all of your photos for your consistent iCloud photo library but your device actually has access to more photos in the cloud then it can physically store locally so you can get at them all wherever you are now of course if you have this many photos you want great search and so we now in iOS 8 photos we give you great search suggestions for instance of locations photos taken near where you are right now photos taken a year ago today photos taken in your home but we also give you search and so that search lets you match on things like location time and also on albums that you've set up now we also help you perfect your photos with great new smart editing controls so we have special smart controls for light and color and also for things like Auto straightening and cropping I'd like to give you a demo of our new Photos app now all right let's take a look at photos so here I am in my large cloud photo collection and I have great search here so I have all my suggestions but I can also start typing and you notice I get matches on location and time period but also an album so here I have beach day with Mandy I can tap right in there look through these nice photos let's take a look those are good ones now that's a photo that I think has potential but it's really quite dark and kind of washed out but fortunately we have these great smart editing controls that I can use to fix it up so I'm going to bring up our levels you notice I have levels for light and color down there at the bottom I'm going to tap on light and I get this great smart light meter now I can just drag this across like this and it lightens up the photo really nicely so i dial that in just the way I want what's happening under the hood is really amazing you notice that to achieve the lightning effect it brought brightness and contrast up exposure and highlights down and shadows up based on detailed image analysis of what would achieve that effect now I could go in and I could manually try to tweak those parameters like have that level of control but I don't need to because it does such a great job and I also have that control for color so I can just drive up the color for instance bring out the sky and the skin tones and a look at the difference of what we've been able to achieve before after it's really awesome now what's really great is that my edits of course immediately went up to my cloud photo library and so they're available to all my devices so let's take a look on my iPad so here's my ipad now I'm gonna go into my favorites album and we notice that right now in favorites I don't have that picture because I didn't favorite it but now that I made those nice edits the picture is looking great I think I'll make it one of my favorites i'll just tap on my iphone on the little heart and you notice that it appears automatically here on my ipad so i can go into that photo right here now we have those same editing controls tailored for ipad something to go in to do a crop I do a kind of extreme close-up crop here like this hit done and of course these changes are gonna go up live to my iCloud photo library and they go right across to my phone of course you may be wondering what about the mac well good news we are working on a new grounds up photo solution for the Mac built with iCloud in mind now it's going to be shipping early next year but I'd like to give you a sneak peek now all right so let's take a look at photos so you see I get beautiful buttery scrolling here I have my moments right here I can pinch out if I want from moments to collections and all the way out to years I can scrub through my photos like this even in your view if I find a photo I like just let go and I'm zoom right in you watch as I magnify this photo the interplay with the title bar it's really gorgeous I'm gonna go ahead and browse through these a little bit now here's a photo that it looks really like it's got some potential but it could use some brightening up can have these same kinds of adjustments you notice here I have these light and color meters well I can disclose these controls so we can watch what happens in real time as I make the lighting adjustment and notice how some of these are going up and some are going down to create this effect it's really great I can do the same with color let's just boost the color bring out the sky bring out the skin tones and it's that easy the new Photos app to really create beautiful images and that's a quick preview of photos coming to Yosemite in the future and to the new photo solution with iCloud photo library coming with iOS 8 so now in iOS 8 you get all your photos in your organization cross
