iOS 4 Feature: Faces

iOS 4 for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G and iPod touch (excluding 1st gen) will be made available to all at no charge on June 21st, 2010.

In this installment, we’re going to take a look at a little feature called “Faces.”

“Faces” is also a feature in iPhoto ’09 and Apple is adding the integration into iOS 4. When you sync photos that have been tagged by Faces in iPhoto ’09, the Photo App in iOS9 will automatically organize those photos based on the names of the faces.

Of course you can also sync selected “Faces” into your iPhone through iTunes, but that means every single picture of the person tagged with Faces will be synced to your iPhone or iPod touch.

Learn more about Faces and iOS 4.

iPhoto ’09 is available for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

Upcoming Review: Sony DSC-HX5V Digital Camera.

Sony has been airing the ad with Taylor Swift using DSC-HX5V for the past few weeks (months?). I finally got my hands on one. On loan, of course. I can’t spend my money on it, not in this economy. P.S. Simon, where’s my paycheck?

Anyway, this camera is the next generation of point and shoot digital camera. It records AVCHD video, and it has GPS built-in. The “iSweep Panorama” is the killer feature of this camera. No more the awkward picture stitching to make that panoramic one. It is really easy to do on this camera.

Anyway, I’ll be taking this camera on Saturday to a wedding; Carlos Alazraqui’s.

Expect a full review really soon!

In the meantime here’s a picture taken using Sony DSC-HX5V iSweep Panorama feature, re-compressed using Adobe Photoshop.

Apple Introduces Aperture 3.

When the Apple Store went down for updates, many were hoping hor the 32-core MacBook Pro to magically appear on Tuesday morning. Well, we all have to wait.

Introducing Aperture 3 (2010.02.09)

Apple today introduced Aperture 3, the next major release of its powerful photo editing and management software. Aperture 3 offers more than 200 new features including Faces, Places, and Brushes. A 30-day trial is now available for download.

I just downloaded the trial, and will play around with it today.

Aperture 3 requires Intel-based Macs (sorry, PowerPC Macs) running minimum of Mac OS X 10.5.11 or Mac OS X 10.6.2.
