I literally was that photographer before DSLRs got affordable. I love film and still own some extremely expensive film kit, but it is still a hassle. And when it’s not my job and real life kicks in, the fact remains that there used to be a digital workflow that “just works” for me, and Apple killed it.
Photos.app was a joke and Adobe was in the process of flushing their entire suite down the cloud, and shipping horrific bloatware for everything else. I probably should look into Lightroom but at the time it was just not an appealing option.
And the self-pity interpretation is off, but whatever. I guess we all like to be mad at the people we post at.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoIf Aperture is that valuable, have you considered just keeping an old Mac around dedicated to Aperture? (You don’t even have to go that far yet, since you can still get Aperture working in Catalina, and Mojave and High Sierra are still viable options. But, for the future.)
- mokus 7y agoI certainly could still run it, but it’s just not worth it to me anymore. Over time I gradually stopped caring because it wasn’t a rewarding way to spend my time anymore. This thread just jogged some really old memories.
- ElderKorihor 7y agoDon't bother with Lightroom. It's also been shackled to the cloud at this point. I think if you dig enough you can still find a perpetual license version, but it's years old at this point and doesn't work with newer cameras.
