Share some contact details on Mac

You can easily send someone your contact details either by doing it the old-fashioned way of dragging a contact card out of the Contacts app and then attaching it to an email, say, or by using the new Share commands since Yosemite, but the problem with this basic method is that you might have information on your card you don't want others to have.

For example, you might have defined a relationship with your spouse so that on your iPhone you can say "send a message to my wife" without having to specify who you mean, and you might want to keep that information private for security reasons.

Now, it's easy. In Contacts' preferences, click vCard then Enable private me card. Now, when you go to your Me card in Contacts – and you might have to define one first and click Edit, you get a series of checkboxes next to each field to show whether it would be included when you share a card.

Prisma Photo Editor Review

You may be understandably skeptical about apps that claim to replicate artistic styles, and it makes sense, the 'traditional media' filters included many android photo  editors are downright terrible. Prismais the exception, and once you’ve tried it, we think you’ll be convinced. Take your pick from a selection of different drawing styles and your photo will be transformed into a surprisingly convincing illustration.  Sliding your finger over the filtered image will blend it into your original photo , and you can tweak each filter to suit your picture, adjusting the vignette, vibrance, saturation, color temperature and more. Although additional filters are available as in-app purchases (these are marked with a padlock), there’s a generous selection included free of charge. You can share your creations on a special Prisma feed, which works in a similar way to Instagram, save it to your device, send it via messaging or email, or share it on any social media app.

Do Unit Conversions in Spotlight on Mac

So, everyone knows that you can do basic calculations in Spotlight, but beginning with macOS High Sierra, you can take that a step further: unit conversions. You can do specific unit conversions if the need arises, say, “13 stone in pounds” but, you can also just type in the amount and unit you want to convert, and your Mac will suggest not just the likely conversion, but also a handful of alternatives. Type in '$1299' and you'll immediately be told what that is in pounds Sterling (based presumably on what's set as your native currency in the Language & Region pane of System Preferences), and then when the window folds down to show more results, you'll see Euros, Yen and so on.
