Taking photos with an iPhone has become so easy, and so much fun! But having hundreds, or even thousands of our treasured photos, spread across multiple devices and platforms, can cause confusion, and become a frustrating dilemma!

“Where Are My Photos?” is a three lesson class in which you will learn how to get your photos organized, making them more easily accessible, and keeping them safely stored and backed up.

In this class, you’ll learn how to: organize iPhone photos into albums (for easy viewing, arranging, and to create Memories videos); keep photo libraries clean (by deleting unwanted and merging duplicate photos); utilize cloud service providers for backing up photos to the cloud, as well as how to back up photos to external devices (to enable recovery in case of a device failure or loss, and to free up valuable iPhone space); store and organize photos into folders on your PC (for editing, emailing, and as an additional backup); copy photos to your PC from other sources (ncluding emails and text messages); edit your photos (to fix mistakes and enhance quality); upload photos from your PC to iCloud (to capture edited photos, and photos from other sources); and utilize a photo website (as an additional backup, and to create prints, photo books, calendars, and more.)
