Photos in macOS Catalina has an immersive, dynamic look that showcases your best photos. Best photo editing for mac. Find the shots you’re looking for with powerful search options. Organize your collection into albums, or keep your photos organized automatically with smart albums. Perfect your images with intuitive built-in editing tools, or use your favorite photos apps. And with iCloud Photos, you can keep all your photos and videos stored in iCloud and up to date on your Mac, Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, and even your PC.

A smarter way to find your favorites.

Photos in macOS Catalina intelligently declutters and curates your photos and videos — so you can easily see your best memories.

Focus on your best shots.

Photos emphasizes the best shots in your library, hiding duplicates, receipts, and screenshots. Days, Months, and Years views organize your photos by when they were taken. Your best shots are highlighted with larger previews, and Live Photos and videos play automatically, bringing your library to life. Photos also highlights important moments like birthdays, anniversaries, and trips in the Months and Years views.

Your memories. Now playing.

Memories finds your best photos and videos and weaves them together into a memorable movie — complete with theme music, titles, and cinematic transitions — that you can personalize and share. So you can enjoy a curated collection of your trips, holidays, friends, family, pets, and more. And when you use iCloud Photos, all edits automatically sync to your other devices.

The moment you’re looking for, always at hand.

With Search, you can look for photos based on who’s in them or what’s in them — like strawberries or sunsets. Or combine search terms, like “beach 2017.” If you’re looking for photos you imported a couple of months ago, use the expanded import history to look back at each batch in chronological order. And in the My Albums tab, you’ll find your videos, selfies, panoramas, and other media types automatically organized into separate albums.

Fill your library, not your device.

iCloud Photos can help you make the most of the space on your Mac. When you choose “Optimize Mac Storage,” all your full‑resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud in their original formats, with storage-saving versions kept on your Mac as space is needed. You can also optimize storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, so you can access more photos and videos than ever before. You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud — and as your library grows, you have the option to choose a plan for up to 2TB.

Make an edit here, see it there. When you make changes on your Mac like editing a photo, marking a Favorite, or adding to an album, they’re kept up to date on your iPhone, your iPad, and iCloud.com. And vice versa — any changes made on your iOS or iPadOS devices are automatically reflected on your Mac.

All your photos on all your devices. iCloud Photos gives you access to your entire Mac photo and video library from all your devices. If you shoot a snapshot, slo-mo, or selfie on your iPhone, it’s automatically added to iCloud Photos — so it appears on your Mac, iOS and iPadOS devices, Apple TV, iCloud.com, and your PC. Even the photos and videos imported from your DSLR, GoPro, or drone to your Mac appear on all your iCloud Photos–enabled devices. And since your collection is organized the same way across your Apple devices, navigating your library always feels familiar.

Resize. Crop. Collage. Zoom. Warp. GIF. And more.

Download Photo Story For Mac

When Microsoft originally developed Photo Story in 2004 it developed also a special compression algorithm (codec) to achieve a high compression rate. Memory and disk space was scarse in those days. As the PhotoStory WMV codec did not need to support moving images Microsoft could achieve a very high compression for the PhotoStory WMV output.
The use of a special codec makes the Windows PhotoStory WMV output incompatible to programs that normally support WMV files.
The codec used in PhotoStory is the Windows Media Video 9 Image (WVP2).
(The 'standard' WMV codec is Windows Media Video 7/8/9 or 9 Advanced )
For the users it is very confusing that WMV files can have used different codecs and therefor some WMV files work with video player programs and others don't!
One way to find out what is inside the WMV container is a free program Mediainfo. It can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mediainfo/. There is a Mac and a Windows version.
The output of Mediainfo for a PhotoStory WMV file looks as below:

In order to play WMV files on MacOS one could use the FLV Player or the Quicktime extension Flip4Mac (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=9442)
Unfortunately both of these programs do NOT support the PhotoStory WMV codec !!
So if Mediainfo shows that your WMV file is a PhotoStory file there is no way to play it on MacOS!
As far as I know there are also no Mac media converter programs that support the WVP2 PhotoStory codec.
How to run that nice PhotoStory that your friend or colleague made on your MacOS?
The only way to convert is on Windows with programs from Microsoft.
There are two possibilities:
1. Use the Windows PhotoStory program to write the output on a DVD
PhotoStory3 does not support output to CD anymore. However there is a commercial program from Roxio (http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/photostory/overview.html) which adds DVD output to PhotoStory 3.1 (latest version).
One could run or rip the DVD on MacOS.
2. Use Windows Life Movie Maker to convert
Windows Life Movie Maker is one of the programs in the Windows Life Essentials package. A free download can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=21732.
Life Essentials consists of 10 different programs. One of them is Movie Maker. At installation time you can opt for installing all 10 programs or just the ones you want to have.
After installing Movie Maker, open the PhotoStory WMV file in MovieMaker and save it UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME on your computer.
The output is again a WMV file!
However this time the file is produced with a different codec that is supported by VLC Player and Flip4Mac!
You will see that the new WMV file is about 10 times (!) larger as the PhotoStory WMV file!
It just proofs that the compression algorithm used in PhotoStory was a real high compression algorithm.
3. Use Youtube
Youtube eats the PhotoStory output file very well. After uploading to Youtube you could download the movie again and it will be in a different but standard format. (mostly .FLV).
On the internet you will find many free Youtube download programs!
All Mac users should ask their friends who send them these nice PhotoStories to convert the file with MovieMaker before sending.
Nowadays, with terrabytes of disk space, we are not worried about large file sizes and WeTransfer or YouSendit will help us sending large files around.
Happy viewing on your Mac
