When Photos for OS X ships next year, users will be able to migrate their existing Aperture libraries to Photos for OS X.”Īperture currently supports the existing iCloud Photo Stream capability, but it’s a bolted-on feature that I suspect most photographers, pro or amateur, either ignore or don’t interact with much. “With the introduction of the new Photos app and iCloud Photo Library, enabling you to safely store all of your photos in iCloud and access them from anywhere, there will be no new development of Aperture. The company contacted some professional photographers and news outlets to seed the news with a short statement (I first read it at The Loop):

Apple plans to update Aperture to work with OS X Yosemite, making the software usable for at least another year.Īs is often the case with Apple, information about the move away from Aperture is scarce. If you’ve idly considered a jump to Lightroom, now is the time to start thinking more seriously about the transition. Photos is patterned after the updated Photos app under iOS, and it’s due to arrive in early 2015. Replacing it - and iPhoto, too - is the forthcoming Photos application for OS X, which Apple teased with a brief demo at the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in June. Now, its light is close to winking out: Apple announced last week that it will soon halt development of Aperture. Although Adobe Photoshop Lightroom long ago dominated the market, Aperture has held on in development limbo - working fine (but sludgy, in my experience) for those who use it, but not updated in any meaningful way.

It’s one of the best times of the day to capture photos, but the good light too soon rolls over into darkness.Īpple’s professional photo-management application, Aperture, has enjoyed an extended golden hour. In photography, the “golden hour” is that slice of time just before and after sunset when the sun is low in the sky and the light is often bronze-hued and dramatic.
