Thank you for these detailed tips. Could you also please advise on what information to ideally type into the TITLE, KEYWORD and CAPTION spaces in Apple Photos?

[@shlomitbard3984]

You can use all, some of these fields or none. It all depends on what your goals are and what information would be most helpful to you when you need to find your photos. Usually a title would be some identifier, for example John’s birthday 2023. I personally don’t find this field all that useful though. I find entering keywords manually is useful when it’s something that AI won’t be able to automatically find. Sometimes it’s actually the name of the album that I use as a keyword. Captions can be used for a more descriptive sentence and can be used when making albums as well. For example, “John and Jane enjoying a piece of cake on John’s 12th birthday.”

Can the album list be rearranged?

Yes! Just drag and drop.

Why is family the most important kind of photography?

[@studioslblifestylephotogra6572]

In terms of longevity, photos of the people who matter most to us are usually most important to us, and to them. Of course there is the family we are born into, and the family we choose. Either way I just mean the people who are most important to us.
