![]() ![]() but, Have no idea of how to systemstically convert, upload, down load ans share photos and organize etc. And considering amazon, Adobe and microsoft cloud services. My tech skills are limited and erratic but motivation to learn high so i can get to a new organized platform that converts my photos from Aperture and organizes them so I can get on with tsking pictures of my gradchildren. at the moment, out of insecurity of a 70 year old grandfather who believes that he is about to loose all his grandchildren’s memories, I am randomly unloading my photos from the Photos folder to Dropbox, iCloud, several hard drives, hundteds of DVDs and CDs. Where to turn for help? Which software to to turn to that is not as complicated and slow as Photoshop for organizing, editing and printing. i can’t loose my photos which are sitting in my time machine using Aperture. I don’t trust Aperture and Apple after such a let down. I want to convert to Lightroom but don’t know how. So far, nothing as good as Aperture which was fast and easier to learn on my own. Tried Photoshop - too slow as an organizer and very cimbersome and user unfriendly as an editor and complicated. i tried to use iPhoto but it is exyremely slow snd too limited. I tried PICASSA 3.0 fast but too limiting and inflexible. I have 3 Tb of photos on my Mac organized using Aperture 3.x and organized in numerous Libraries. And Photos will import your Aperture libraries, though your projects will turn into folders in the Albums section.I am totally lost. Now the good news: Some Aperture features (like the Split view, which I use all the time) are available in Photos ②. But if you rely on any Aperture features that Photos doesn’t support, prepare for disappointment. If you use Aperture because it’s more than iPhoto, but haven’t availed yourself of most of its features, you may find Photos sufficient (see Import from Aperture into Photos). ![]() For example, Photos doesn’t offer an adjustment brush to selectively apply an edit to the image. And Photos’ editing features, while solid, don’t match Aperture’s. Photos also doesn’t support plug-ins or editing in an external editor-both key features of Aperture. And star ratings and color labels are imported as keywords. Photos doesn’t support the concept of separate projects inside a single library. And the differences certainly don’t end there. I’ve built an entire workflow around shooting Apple events: resizing the images to Web resolutions, applying a watermark, and saving the result out as JPEGs to be uploaded to a server.Ĭould I do that same task in Photos? It doesn’t support tethered shooting, exporting multiple versions with different image-quality levels, or watermarks. I use it mostly to capture images on the fly directly from my Canon DSLR. There are new features, to be sure, including modified and expanded editing tools and more direct integration with iCloud, but with a little time, iPhoto users should be able to settle in comfortably. But with the optional sidebar displayed in Photos, you’d think you were using a slick new version of iPhoto. Star ratings have been demoted to keyword status, flagged items are now Favorites, and iPhoto Events are now just another kind of photo album. Photos can import your iPhoto library (see Import from iPhoto into Photos) and retains most, but not all, of the features of iPhoto. If you’re used to iPhoto, Photos won’t be that jarring. You can download a free 30-day trial to give it a spin. It’s tightly integrated with Photoshop and available as part of Adobe’s Photography bundle, which as of this writing costs $120 per year, and offers cloud features of its own. ![]() If Photos doesn’t float your boat and you’re an Aperture user, you might consider Adobe’s Lightroom. Both apps will probably still work for a while yet, but updates are extremely unlikely. Not to be a negative nelly, but you shouldn’t hold out hope that Apple will reconsider its decision. Apple’s announcement specified that iPhoto and Aperture would both be updated for compatibility with OS X Yosemite, but that’s it. ![]()
