Yesterday the Apple company launched the first version of the iPhoto application for iOS and a new version of the iPhoto application for Mac OS X. In this version, Apple included the ability to delete individual photos from Photostream accounts available in iCloud, a function already available to users on iDevices if they have installed iOS 5.1. The iPhoto application is only available for Mac OS X, so you have no way to do the same thing from a Windows computer, but for users of this operating system there is the option to delete everything from the iDevice. Here's what's new in iPhoto 9.2 for Mac.
• Photos can now be deleted from Photo Stream
Included in Version 9.2
• Addresses compatibility with iCloud and iOS 5
• Left and right swipe gestures can now be used to navigate between photos in Magnify (1-up) view
• Previously imported photos are now displayed in a separate section of the Import window
• Book/calendar themes and card categories can now be selected using a pop-up menu in the carousel view
• Resolves an issue that could cause some pages of books to print incorrectly
• Rebuilding a library now correctly preserves saved slideshows and booksThis update is recommended for all users of iPhoto '11.
The second one interesting news it comes from the iPhoto application for iOS, which seems to take directly from Apple's servers the data regarding the locations where the pictures were taken. Until now, the Google Maps system of the Google company was used, but it seems that Apple would have put into operation its own map mapping system, a system that was discussed intensively in the past. For now, there is no consensus regarding the system used by Apple, some quoting Apple representatives who claim that Google Maps is still used, others going by the idea that Apple lists its own locations based on its own software.
No matter what software Apple uses, in the image above the location of the picture is wrongly presented by Apple. Moving on to the idea of launching its own map system, it seems that Apple would not have renewed its contract with Google for the use of the Maps service in 2013, so it is possible that in the iPhone 5 we will see a Maps application available with turn-by-turn navigation and Apple's proprietary system for viewing locations.
