Aperture Users
It looks like Aperture would be supported at least into OS X.11 and maybe X.12. I Have not used iphoto in over 3 years since switching to Aperture. I love Aperture's freedom to load many libraries with little or no effort. I really do not want to switch to light room but might have to look into other options from capture one or macphun or onOne to see if they come out with a photo database program that would be comparable to aperture or lightroom. Those who made full switch to aperture never went back to iphoto. fact is i deleted iphoto before OS X.10. I do like the option in photos to only share to icloud only photos u want to share. I see photos and icloud the same thing but refined version of photo stream designed for one thing only to share photos. photos and icloud might be for those who are iphoto users and see it as an improvement but it is a giant step backwards to the pro flexibility of Aperture. Funny thing is Aperture was and still might be a very well sold app in the mac app store. I think in the end Aperture either will get a facelife like Final Cut X or integrated fully into photos as a in app purchase. Till them I am using aperture till i can use it no more.
If you read the article you would not this "If youre happy with iPhoto and Aperture now, you should feel no hurry to switch over when Photos comes out this spring (as part of the free Yosemite 10.10.3 update), unless you want that iCloud Photo Library feature. Which would be understandable. [...] Someday, yes, there will be some OS X version that cant run todays iPhoto and Aperture at all. But thats years away. In those years, Apple has plenty of time to bring Photos feature list up to code, and you can freely keep using iPhoto and/or Aperture and Photos, side-by-side on the same Mac."I'm an Aperture user. Should I start looking into Lightroom? Or will Photos be better than Aperture?
