Hello,
I can't upgrade to Yosemite yet because of compatibility issues with my work applications, therefore I'm not able to try out Photos.
Can anyone tell me what kind of export options Photos has? Particularly, I would like the option to export my entire photo library from Photos with all the metadata in xmp sidecar files. If not xmp sidecar, what other options does it have?
Right now I have my photo library in iPhoto. I was planning on buying Aperture since I know it has that export option. I was going to export my library from Aperture since it shares the same library as iPhoto. But if Photos can do it for free then I'll save myself from having to spend $80 for a one time use.
Much appreciated!
