Real talk Photos for Mac is fine as a program for images and nobody really needs more than that

The average commercial or working photographer of the mid-20thC would have murdered people for the capacity and function of an iPhone 6. I do mean that literally

@liamvhogan correct. if you want better photos, you need to be a better photographer, not to drop a cool 20K on camera and lenses.

@alexanderdyas @liamvhogan You say that, but I just upgraded an iPhone XR to an iPhone 16 and my god! Low-light photos are easy now!

@liamvhogan recently for the lols and creative challenge I went out photographing with my Razr smartphone from 2007. The quality difference in picking up my iPhone SE afterwards was almost unsettling
-
@timrichards @liamvhogan My point is that most people don’t care. We’re now long past peak phone requirement.

@alexanderdyas @timrichards when was the last time someone said, oh, I can’t take any more pictures, I’ve run out of film/space/storage. Maybe fifteen years ago?
-
@liamvhogan @Kels_316 If you really need an alternative, I recommend Darktable. I have been using that for all of my images for years now, and it has been solid.

@liamvhogan @timrichards The ratio of photos taken to photos actually cherished and appreciated must be millions to one now. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, we use our cameras differently now, but we are not taking all those photos because of the latest advances in camera technology.

@alexanderdyas @timrichards the most fun camera I have at the moment is an instax mini. It’s coloured pastel blue and it has a case designed for a tween. Whenever I take it out I end up taking pictures of people and giving them the picture. It’s the best.

@liamvhogan the bloke who used to repair my SLRs did repairs on the first gen digital SLRs — 1 megapixel and they cost as much as a car. Blown out of the water by even the first camera phones.
