‘Photos for Mac: A Take Control Crash Course’

Note: This story has not been updated for several years.

I’m writing a book for TidBITS/Take Control about Apple’s new Photos app, which is due out with OS X 10.10.3. This app is the replacement for both iPhoto and Aperture.

The book costs $10 and we’re now taking pre-orders. If you buy it now you’ll actually receive the first half of the book! The second half will be available soon after Photos arrives in its final form, and all buyers will get upgraded to the full book when that happens.

The book is a visual guide to the new Photos app. The PDF edition is quite attractive, if you ask me. If you’re interested in this new Photos app, I encourage you to check it out.
