hello everyone i'm jason parker for cnet and i'll be taking a closer look at iOS eights photo library and camera features we'll start with search instead of scrolling through a huge wall of photos to find specific shots the Photos app now has a search field at the top touching it brings up search suggestions like nearby one year ago home or a city you've taken a lot of pictures in it will also keep track of your recent searches unfortunately the Photos app still doesn't have a way to tag your shots but this new system helps you zero in on images more quickly next the camera app Apple is added a bunch of neat tools for getting great shots including a new time-lapse camera for those fast-moving video projects but you also can set a time shot and the app gives you options for three or ten seconds next once the shot is taken you can touch the crop tool that doubles as a way to realign your image now you already have these filters but now there's a great color correction tool as well here you can adjust light color and black and white values using sliders but what's cool here is that these are smart sliders so when you're adjusting the light slider for example it's taking into account the exposure highlights shadows and other adjustments to give you the perfect lighting also if you want to fine tune your image you can use a slider to adjust each of those as well that's it for a closer look at the photos and camera apps in iOS 8 i'm jason parker for cnet thanks for watching
