I still use a lot of software, like Aperture, for which there is no good replacement and no possibility of me recompiling it for 64-bit. I will probably never upgrade my personal machine to Catalina as a consequence. When it becomes infeasible to continue using Mojave I will probably abandon MacOS entirely.
- ElFitz 7y agoWouldn't it work via a VM? Aside from that, Aperture was abandoned 5 years ago. I would blame Apple for not releasing a 64-bit version of it before dropping it, but not for dropping 32-bit altogether.
- rimliu 7y agoI liked Aperture, but moved on to Lightroom and then to Capture One.
- haxxorfreak 7y agoAperture is actually a 64-bit app but it depends on some system frameworks that weren't migrated to 64-bit and dropped in Catalina. It's possible to get it running in 10.15 by removing the references to those frameworks, it breaks some of the features like slideshows but the app will still run: https://medium.com/@cormiertyshawn895/deep-dive-how-does-retroactive-work-95fe0e5ea49e https://medium.com/@cormiertyshawn895/deep-dive-how-does-ret... (the author has also made an app that automates this process, I haven't tried it so I can't vouch for how well it works)
- amdavidson 7y agoIf you abandon MacOS for photo management, what system will you go to that does not already support MacOS? If you go to Windows and use Lightroom, why not stay on your mac? If you go to Linux and use FSpot or Darktable, you can get them both on a Mac too.
