What’s the best app these days for smart-removing of objects in photos? Snapseed can still do it but I get the feeling other apps could do a more convincing job of it these days. Non-destructive with a revert option on the original photos would be great if that’s possible. Free is great obviously but happy to pay for a good app if it’s not subscription based.

Non-destructive with a revert option on the original photos would be great if that’s possible. If I need to remove an object to place into a new photo I've been finding the built in long press on the object in Photos and then "sharing" to a new photo has worked fairly well for me. Bonus is that you can make stickers from the stuff you're "removing". This article shows how to do it but to make a new photo from the object just use the Share command.

Google Photos does a good job of this, but i think you need a Google One subscription to enable the functionality.

I've used Retouch in the past, no idea if I paid for it or if it's the best, but it works.

If you bought Photomator for iPhone or iPad, you can use all the features without subscribing and get a discount to buy Photomator for MacOS.

Editing photos aside, are there any advantages to picking up a "custom" camera app like iPhone 7-8 days? IIRC, RAW can be shot now, so the only reason I can see to purchase something like Halide is aperture, f/stop, etc. If so, any recommendations besides Halide?

Not in my experience, I did a Halide demo and played with Lightroom's fully manual camera with the 15PM and the results are disappointing, even taking RAW files. They just can't be pushed all that far in post processing because of the small sensor size. To my eye it needs Apple's AI magic to produce a good image. So I use the stock Photos app and shoot in prores RAW if I think I'll want to edit later. Less faff and it actually produces files I'm happy to work on. Probably don't leave RAW on full time though because the files are like 20MB each.

The AppStore is flooded with photo apps and it made me curious as to what is fluff or if actual improvements could be had.

Is there a good ebook reading app which can show bookmarks/clippings across multiple books? I have a collection of cookbooks on my iPad and I’d like to be able to browse through all the things I’ve bookmarked in one go, rather than having to open each one individually.

Import all the recipes you like into Paprika? (This has the huge caveat that Paprika's recipe parser is way better at getting recipes out of webpages than at translating PDF-formatted ingredient lists into something comprehensible)

Is Paprika the go-to app for recipe organization? It's 5 bucks but if it's good and doesn't have a subscription i'm happy to pay it. Here's a dumb question - these days I'm getting most of my recipes from Instagram reels because I'm a basic bitch. Is there any app or shortcut that will: 1) Save the video to either an app like Paprika or to a note in the notes app AND 2) save the caption from the video along with the video? I found this site https://instavideosave.net that will let me save the videos, but it doesn't have the caption which doesn't help me.

I jump back and forth between Paprika and the guy who developed reeders app, Mela. I think Mela’s prettier but Paprika is a freaking wonderful workhorse.

I really like paprika and it always seems to parse recipes from whatever website I throw at it. One strange thing is the search function is a little weird, sometimes I will search for a word like “bread” and it doesn’t get all of the items with bread in the title. No idea why! My only beef with it. Saving video clips sounds interesting, I haven’t ever thought of that but might be handy to have a YouTube link or something!

A bunch of people were saying Pestle is good but I haven’t tried it. Paprika is good but feels a little abandoned, there are a bunch of small features that really should be added.

I use AnyList because it has a family sharing feature so we work from the same shopping list and meal plan. Requires a subscription for that ($15/year household or $10/year individual) and a few other advanced features but I think it does basically everything most of these types of apps do. It also does have quite a lot of free features - if you're single and don't care about importing recipes, it's actually decent as a free app: https://www.anylist.com/features

Paprika is awesome, the only new feature I truly need is a way to completely disable the in-app browser, which is only good if you want to know what a mommyblogger recipe site looks like in tyool 2024 without an ad blocker, because you're trying to kill an epileptic person or something I have no idea about parsing out instagram recipes. I suppose that is the brave new frontier of content scraping, which I think instagram itself will fight tooth and nail if they catch anybody doing it. Youtube people usually at least have the decency to put the damned recipe in the notes

I really like Pestle, I picked up the lifetime membership when it was cheaper/on sale and he’s regularly updated it. At the time, the big thing that Paprika was missing at the time for me was being able to scan recipes from books using OCR, I think? I had Paprika at one point but haven’t used it in ages I really like how easily Pestle will parse recipes from the Safari share sheet and it has Smart Folder filtering, so I can sort for cocktails labeled as Tiki or whatever. I use it both for meal recipes and cocktails and diy liqueurs and such. You can add rss feeds to the “Discover” area like Mela as well (I used that for a hot second but needed the shared family recipes for our purposes - love Reeder though!). The shared household is another killer feature I’m not sure Paprika has yet - Your cookbook recipes sync with your families app, and it lets you easily add recipe ingredients to a shared family reminders shopping list, which we use in our household. You can even meal plan and have it add specific meals on a shared family calendar with your household. Corb3t fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Jan 3, 2024 |

It wouldn't take much for Paprika to implement OCR scanning directly within their app using iOS APIs (which is what I prefer so I don't save a bunch of images in my Photos app), but I'm guessing they just don't prioritize adding new features that can't easily be implemented on their other apps that are on non-iOS platforms. Very annoying. Corb3t fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Jan 3, 2024 |

(no really i honestly don't know, i just use it for ... timer things) I find it super annoying, the list doesn’t sort by anything useful like duration or most used, and the feedback when you start an alarm is non existent, so I either start nothing or 2 or 3 because I can’t tell if I actually hit the button. I guess it’s good that the timer is one of my top three complaints after switching from android a couple months ago.

We actually tried switching to Reminders.app since it now supports categorized grocery lists. It worked quite well but we missed the recipe integration and "favourites" feature of AnyList so we went back to AnyList. It was really nice being able to use Siri to add to our grocery list in reminders; you can add something using siri to AnyList but it's a bit janky because you can't seem to do it in one step eg Me: "Add to anylist" Siri: "what should i add?" Me: "oranges" You can't seem to do anything like "Add oranges to anylist" with the shortcut it creates. I'm tempted to try the "reminders -> anylist" feature that AnyList has so i can just talk to Siri like a human being to add things to my grocery list that way.

Yeah it's absolutely pathetic how bad Siri is despite the first mover advantage they enjoyed. We're 100% apple devices (watches, phones, macs, homepod, etc) so I'm stuck with Siri though. I did some more research after posting that and a lot of people suggest using the weird Reminders.app integration instead, so I'm going to try that.

This reminds me that Siri and Paprika is totally broken for me now, for some reason. I used to be able to “add oranges to my grocery list on paprika” but now Siri says it can’t find a “groceries” list, because it’s only looking in Reminders and not inside Paprika. No idea how to fix it.

Also I tried adding a few times and it mostly worked but had one instance where it added it to my regular grocery list (in reminders) instead.
