damn you man!:)))) that's not sarcasm anymore...it's like rubbing salt into still bleeding wound!:)))

I played yesterday with Photos in that Sierra crap and I could not believe my eyes - it's like some demented aliens are in charge of that app at Apple... the whole philosophy, UI, functionality and controls layout make no sense at all. Did they suffer from some weird amnesia that they did have a perfect products for photo editing and storing in shape of iPhoto and Aperture? sadly it's no sarcasm on my part

Should they release new ATB and not make it running under OS X 10.9 I will wave them as I pass by and get an LG 4K screen
I don't know what they think sometimes the move made no sense since it wasn't like Photos replaces Aperture. I guess they were hoping extensions would close that gap. Have you seen or used extensions that offer the same functionality? I haven't really looked into it but I think since Apple don't want to make a separate app, they should offer a single (paid) Aperture extensions which returns all Aperture functionality within the Photos app.

I did and it's an abomination... in 3rd party extensions most of the time one effect hides the others, there are no scales (just slider so no ****** idea what values you're setting) but above all there's no freaking way to copy one set of edits onto another picture (of course you can't even copy Apple's adjustments from one picture to another - neither on OS X nor in iOS).

Even if the idea sounded kinda plausible around the time when they killed Aperture (especially after seing the dev video from WWDC that year where they show how they can adjust RAW files with lens profiles and other stuff) , seeing how it turned out makes one want to visit Infinite Loop 1 with a chainsaw... But above all, there is not one set of extensions that comes even close to replicate Aperture. Back in the day I wrote to Tim suggesting that they should lead the way and release such extensions themselves... Guess I barked on a very tall tree cause haven't got anything back :)

While I'm aware of Aperture's editing limits, the whole interface is very well thought through and as a catalogue it screams past other apps I tried... It will be a sad day when a future macOS release breaks its functionality
