ICloud Cover - Apple actually did the thing that customers have been asking for since the introduction of My Photo Stream: sync everything everywhere. Let’s take a look at how both applications - both ecosystems, really - achieve this goal. What may seem a minor convenience - look, you can take a picture with your iPhone and it appears on your Mac! - is the start of a notable shift in how we treat digital photos. Later that month, Adobe announced Photoshop Lightroom CC with a focus not just on new features, but also on how the photo management software is part of a broader mobile workflow that includes photos on tablets and phones. In April 2015, Apple released Photos for OS X, which replaces iPhoto and Aperture and supports iCloud Photo Library for sharing images on multiple Apple devices.

And all editing and organization efforts should sync as well. But we also want the photos we capture on the iPhone (and iPad) to go the other direction and be added to the photo libraries on our Macs. It’s not enough these days to store and manage photos on a single computer we want those photos on our other devices, too.
