One of the best things about a Mac is?everything you can do with it.

Every Mac comes with a collection of great apps for things you do every day, like Safari for sur?ng the web, Photos for managing your photos and videos, Pages for creating documents, Numbers for making spreadsheets and Keynote for preparing presentations. There are apps for sending email and text messages, taking notes, and staying up to date with your contacts and calendar. It even comes with the Mac?App?Store for finding new apps. Your Mac is more than fully featured, it’s fully?loaded.

Photos

Now you can add a location to a single image or a group of photos, and you can batch-change photo titles, descriptions and keywords. Naming your favourite people in Faces is faster with a streamlined workflow. And you can sort your albums — and their content — by date, title and?more.
