Apple’s upcoming Photos app will give Mac users powerful new tools to manage, tweak and share their favorite images. While it won’t be released until later this year, we got a chance to play around with the beta version now available to developers, and we found it to be an easy-to-use and streamlined piece of software.

For a detailed and visual look at this new iOS-influenced app, check out the video below for a quick run through some of Photos’ hottest new features.

With these tips under your belt, you’ll be that much more of a Photos power user this spring when you finally you get your hands on the feature-packed app, which will replace iPhoto and Aperture.

We’ve got plenty more where that came from. Subscribe to Cult of Mac TV on YouTube to catch all our latest videos.
