He pretty much described the "Journal" functionality of iPhoto for iPhone/iPad. You pick the photos you want to share, create a "journal" with them, and pick Share -> Share to iCloud. From there you can email a link to the journal to your contacts. They receive a link to a really nice gallery.
The journals can be customized, you can change up the layout and add little text boxes and maps and neat stuff like that. It's really exactly what he's looking for.
As far as getting the photos onto your mac- that's what Photo Stream is for. It pulls your photos straight into iPhoto without you having to do anything. It kind of sounds like he's trying to stay away from iPhoto, but that's like arbitrarily saying "I need a solution for this, but I won't use the solution that exists, I need something else!".
- jmreid 14y agoPeople always forget about the Image Capture app too. If you don't want to deal with iPhoto, just plug your phone in and open Image Capture. It's one window with all your pics and videos. Select a couple, drag to the desktop, then to whatever fancy app you want to use to share.
- smackfu 14y agoAnd this journal functionality is completely separated from anything you can do in desktop iPhoto. I guess it works ok if you have every photo on your iPhone.
- philfreo 14y agoya... the first time I read the parent comment I opened iPhoto on my MBP and couldn't find this feature.
- evan_ 14y agoThat's just because Mac iPhoto hasn't been updated in a while. It'll be in the next major release. If you don't have every photo on your phone/iPad you can always sync them back manually, or if you put the photos you want to journal into your Photo Stream they'll be transferred to your phone immediately through iCloud, and you can use them in a journal.
- philfreo 14y agoYep -- you are right. Buying iPhoto for iOS looks like it'll do it. Funny, I'm a pretty big Apple fan and follow lots of their news, and still didn't know this. I suspect most people won't either considering it requires a separate purchase that seems unnecessary since I don't care about editing photos on iOS.
