VMware announced on earlier this week on August 22 that VMware 2017 Mac Desktop Hypervisor lineup: VMware Fusion 10 and VMware Fusion 10 Pro would be launched in October 2017, with enhanced GPU and 3D graphics performance. It will also support for macOS 10.13 High Sierra and the latest MacBook Pro series Touch Bar.

Fusion, like competitor Parallels, allows you to run virtual Windows machines – or individual Windows apps – within macOS. This can be more convenient than Boot Camp for those who operate primarily in a macOS environment.

According the blog of VMware, Fusion 10 includes full compatibility with macOS High Sierra, integration with the Touch Bar on the latest MacBook Pro models. And VMware Fusion 10 will use Apple Metal 2 technology to improve graphics performance, efficiency, and rendering accuracy. In addition, the user interface will be redesigned, including improved Installation and Migrate Your PC wizards. What’s more, the VMware Fusion 10 will support hundreds of operating systems, including the latest version of Windows 10, and various Linux distributions.

“A big feature several years in the making is our new support for Apple’s Metal Graphics acceleration technology, which gives our virtual GPU engine a noticeable boost in Performance, Battery/Power Efficiency and accuracy of rendering. Both games and professional applications like AutoCAD benefit from this enhanced feature.”

In addition to Fusion 10, VMware will launch Fusion 10 Pro, too, for IT professionals and developers. As the same, Fusion 10 Pro also features a redesigned user interface, enhanced network control and REST API support. Besides, Fusion 10 Pro supports for integration with VMware PhotonOS, and support for Microsoft’s new virtualization-based security features such as Credential Guard.

VMware Fusion 10 and Fusion 10 Pro are expected to be available in October for the prices of $79 and $159. Fusion 8.5 customers will be able to upgrade to Fusion 10 for $49 or Fusion 10 Pro for $119. Moreover, consumers who purchase Fusion 8.5 or Fusion 8.5 Pro will be able to upgrade to Fusion 10 or Fusion 10 Pro for free during August 22 to November 1 with no more extra charge required on the VMware online store.

Live Photos editing

Speaking of Live Photos, you can now edit Live Photos on your desktop with Photos much the same way as you can with iOS 11. A few new effects are brought to iOS 11, and even in High Sierra, Apple hasn’t forgotten to upgrade the editing feature in Live Photos.
The Loop effect puts the Live Photo in an infinite loop. The Bounce effect plays the action backward and forward. The Long Exposure effect blurs the moving parts of the image while keeping the still parts the same.

Take a detailed example to show how useful of these added editing features to take blurred water flowing and extended light trails: usually it needs a DSLR or a manual camera app along with a tripod. But, after having Live Photos’ Long Exposure effect, you can achieve a similar look without any additional equipment.

Users can trim or mute the clips. Also, there’s an option to select a cover photo for each Live Photo.

Works great with third‑party apps.

Photo apps on Mac can now be better integrated with third-party application tools. For example, you can now open a picture from third-party editing applications directly from Photos and the edits made in it can be synced seamlessly with the Photos app. now this new feature is supporting Adobe Photoshop and Pixelmator. To achieve the above mention, all you need to do is just right-click the image and share it with Photoshop or Pixelmator.

It also supports for third-party project extensions to help you access publishing and printing services like Animoto, ifolor, Shutterfly, WhiteWall and Wix, right within the Photos app.

Other features and improvements

The Memories feature introduced in iOS 10 and macOS Sierra automatically curates the best pictures from your library and then displays them as slideshows. In High Sierra, the Photos app gains more intelligent categories like babies, weddings and birthdays in an effort to showcase even more personal moments.

Mac Photo is getting better and better

Tracing the history of Photo app development, Apple removed iPhoto and Aperture in 2014, whic were the most popular and welcomed by users at that time with the launch of OS X Yosemite operating system, and with the new replacement of brand-new Photo for Mac was born. A lot of users got upset about missing features like the star-rating system and geotagging photos. Since then, Photos has improved in many aspects by Apple, but the lack of such beloved features shows that Apple’s app still has a long way to go.

After all, Photo app in brand-new macOS High Sierra has great improvements. It’s a great step forward in photo management and basic editing. Do you like the improvements in new Photo? Just feel free to leave your comment.
