SAN JOSE, California. – We're taking more and more photos every year on our new, improved smartphones, but finding them is probably the biggest problem for consumers.

Mark them with a heart and save them as favorites? Create albums? All are working, but none have actually solved the problem.

Apple has a new idea. Organize the photos by date, year, month, and date, instead of the "All Photos" method, and make them look so good that you'll need to get to know them and actually use the feature.

Among all the new tools announced Monday for iOS 13, the autumn operating system update that brings new features to the iPhone, to Watch, to TV and to the Internet. iPad, the new Photos application is probably the one that will be used the most.

What do we do with phones? Take zillions of photos, share them on social networks and send texts to which photos are usually attached.

I went one – on – one with the application Monday to take a look and I really liked what I saw, during my tests. a limited time.

The chosen view of our favorite moments is different from Apple's current "For You" offering, which organizes similarly-themed photos in computer-generated themes, usually depending on the location of filming, and slideshows set to a canned music that sometimes gathers photos incorrectly.

(For example, a slide show of iOS 12 that would cover the cities of Ventura and Pismo Beach, located on the central coast of California, opens on a photo of San Francisco, some 244 kilometers away.)

In Apple's iOS 13 demo, all the photos seemed to be in the right place. What I really liked was the display, which uses machine learning from Apple to cut out copies of receipts and repeat them, and presents what the computer sees as the best of best. And they are presented in a multi-tap display that mixes the video with photos. Thus, visuals animate with still images, motion, slow motion and time-lapse.

For editing, Apple makes manual adjustments similar to those of Photoshop to refine photos. I am a big fan of the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom app for dramatically improving lighting and contrast in just a few clicks. Apple's filters have always been limited. There was not much unless digging into advanced tabs, and even then, the Lightroom or Google Snapseed app has always brought a lot more.

The new application offers several sliders – "Auto", "Exposure" "Vibrance", etc., as well as manual settings to bring the photo to your specifications. If consumers take the time to play with filters on Instagram, which are even more restrictive than Apple's iOS 12 range, I think they'll love tweaking their images that way.

In addition, Apple uses these tools for video editing for the first time.

Finally, Live Photos is one of my favorite hidden iPhone secrets, but they are really hard to share. Apple is trying to remedy this in iOS 13.

Live Photos offers you a video clip to accompany your photo, which does not reproduce well on social networks. But now you can save Live Photos photos and both special effects – Loop and Bounce – as video files. Plus, those who really like the Live Photos effect can use it to take dozens of photos in a row and extend the time allotted to create a video file.

Of course, it would be easier to just record a standard video, but what a pleasure it would be? It's a different look, and I can not wait to start using it.

Overall, Lightroom and Snapseed will always be my favorite apps for mobile editing. And, judging by Apple's photo management tools, I'm extremely skeptical about the robot's ability to do it right and show only what I want to see properly.

But I now have 17,481 photos on my iPhone, and I am quite willing to try the old one. Because what I have now does not work surely.

Readers – how many photos do you have on your phone? I would love to hear from you. Look for me on Twitter, where I am @jeffersongraham.
