Mac OS Sierra: Photos to replace Aperture

[nikonhswebmaster]

It's the image management that I dislike in Photos: it doesn't fit my intended workflow very well and is overly complex.

It does seem rather obtuse to me also, but I am no longer showing, so I have no "workflow."

I never did have a workflow, I guess, I just looked at my slides on a light table with my dealer, and had some of them printed.

Managing digital images is a hopeless mystery for me. I liked a stack of slides in my hands. 😱

Take a look at this progran:

If you make people photographs, something to look at:

A stack of slides in my hand was great when I worked with 36 shots at a time. Nowadays, I tend to work with several hundred, at least at first when I'm getting started on stuff. That alone means different tools and techniques are necessary.

Managing digital images isn't a 'hopeless mystery', it is daunting until you learn a few simple techniques with a couple of good tools. Then it's as easy as the stack of slides.

Affinity just had a big update, including the ability to bring it up as a plugin in Photos, and it's back down to $40.

Daniel, here's what I do:

- Keep your current system as is. But, your hardware is at least 3 years old, time for a new computer. Keep the old one with it's current OS so you know you can run the old software forever.
- Buy a new computer. Use it. Use it for everything till you find something that doesn't work.

One more thing: Just because Aperture runs on Sierra today doesn't guarantee it will do so tomorrow. You don't want to wake up one morning having lost access.

One more thing: Keep getting security updates on the old computer, or else disconnect it entirely from the internet.

FWIW I use Lightroom and Photoshop. Occasionally PhotoMatix, Aurora, and DXO

I'm curious why Aperture would suddenly stop working on Sierra? Did you actually mean, "stop working with the next OS release?"
