Excuse me hater but I believe you are in the wrong thread. Please take your ignorant hate comment to the nearest hater thread or Anti-apple forum.
not gonna disagree with that but am quite anxious to know if i have to look outside of apple for my photomanaging needs
I am waiting on the Photos App from Apple....and wishing they'd offer more info on it.
I have at least the same amount of Photos and probably a good several thousand RAW files too held within Aperture.
I believe I read on the Apple.com site a few months back that we don't HAVE to put our images on the Cloud. BUT it might not be easy to distinguish which ones go there. I would LOVE a rating system (like current with 1-5 STARS) then to say onlyupload 4 & 5 STARRED images to the cloud.
I am thinking after using the new Photos Editing on the iPhone that the Photos for Mac will be similar. You can do "Smart Edit" and it'll do it all for you; you can do Quick edits (a la iPhoto) and simply hit how much color boost you want based on easy filters; OR you can adjust deeper into manual controls.
PLUS, I think they will let App developers create plugins that we can Buy from the App Store to adjust further and deeper. Allow Pixelmator (and any others on the App Store) to be able to edit our images within Photos using their add-ons.
I think the new Photos will be robust as-is but fully customizable based on how much you'd want to buy on the App Store as Plugins.
again, that's a lot of my HOPES.
I am sticking with Aperture until I find out otherwise if Photos cannot work (or will work and switch to that and hopefully all edits/adjustments flow into it). Jumping ship to Lightroom now means either losing non-destructive edits or starting all over.

I've had this happen before. If I remember right, all I needed to do was sign out/sign in.
Are you serious?
Obviously, you don't need to apply these updates for Mavericks compatibility. The prior versions were already compatible with Mavericks. The updates are for compatibility with Yosemite.
I thought iPhoto was going to die yesterday with 10.10 coming out.
Was super curious to get the Photo app.

No, they are not 'for compatibility with Yosemite'. Especially in the case of Aperture that's just a smokescreen. They are for breaking compatibility with Mavericks. Of course I don't have to update them yet, but how long before something comes along to force our hands, like iCloud suddenly not supporting older versions? I give it three months.
It's only a "compatibility" update that changes some version numbers. Other than that, it's on life-support until the new Photos app is released.
Is this the first version of GarageBand 10 that allows AU effects on a per track track basis (like previous versions of GarageBand)? It seems like this was gone in the initial release of GarageBand 10. It is a no-brainer that the feature has been brought back. It should never have been removed in the first place!
I expect Xcode 6.1 to land on Monday alongside iOS 8.1 final. Never understood how Xcode 6.1 can be a Golden Master released to the devs, but it carries an iOS Simulator with iOS 8.1 Beta 2. I hope more changes will be made in 6.1, because the SourceKitService is crashing a lot when writing Swift.
When iCloud first started music and photos didn't count toward your storage plan. Is that still the case?
Oh no, brain-washed Applezombies approaching! #
Seriously though, given Apple's recent track record of software updates (starting with Lion and FCPX), one is naturally hesitant if not outright negative about new developments. Especially when it comes to crucial software, like an Aperture replacement in this case.
I was hoping with the release of Yosemite they would finally revamp the Mac App Store and make it more functional and remove some of those stupid policies which makes dev's not wanting to submit their app to it unless they want to drop a bunch of features and all that.
The apps from the Mac App Store is so limited, it's a shame really.

I'm not leaving Aperture. They can't make me.
For me Snow Leopard, Lion and Yosemite were very stable.
You're not trusting the cloud enough.

He is serious.
Try downloading Aperture from the MAS on a Mavericks equipped computer right now for instance.
Also, the update is clearly showing more than a compatibility fix in the change log.
It says, and I quote: "This update addresses compatibility with OS X Yosemite and stability improvements" [emphasis mine]

Sorry, but the terabyte plan, while too expensive makes me nervous. I have enough space now, but I wonder what's going to happen in a year, two years, three years down the road. I am not going to stop taking pictures, and I don't want to have to start worrying about culling my photo collection.
I bought one of my iMacs 4 years ago, and I put a 2TB drive in it at the time. Not because I had the data to fill it up right then, but because I didn't want to run out of space later on.
I believe Apple's cloud storage sizes and pricing is short sighted.
They will keep iPhoto alive until Photos releases early next year.
iPhoto looks horrible on Yosemite anyways like it always has on any OS X release to be honest.. I wonder if they will keep the iLife name for the suite with iPhoto being taken away, considering iWork and iLife has always contained 3 apps.
I just don't bother with it as the alternatives are much better. Dropbox for sharing files between clients, friends, whatever. Or services like Crashplan and Backblaze for giant, cloud backups.
Understood, but the reason I use Apple products is for the ecosystem. Because it just works (usually).
