I still haven't found an app that's as good as Aperture used to be with my workflow in term of UX/convenience etc... Never understood the logic of getting rid

I still haven't found an app that's as good as Aperture used to be with my workflow in term of UX/convenience etc... Never understood the logic of getting rid of it. I know a few people who actually switched to mac because of Aperture

Me neither… I wanted to like Lightroom, which was the solution most of the community seemed to migrate to, but between the infuriating inconsistent UI and the predatory subscription model I did not use it for long. And now I have a Rube Goldberg thing that is janky and feels brittle.

  Yep same here, tried it for a while but Adobe's idea of UI just does not work for me. I reluctantly went to Photos, mainly because of ease of use on the phone for family members, but still I miss full tagging and smart album support.

    > I miss full tagging and smart album support Yes! And plugins are great, but the experience is not smooth, and quickly annoying when working with many photos. Also, switching libraries is not good. I wish it were more integrated because on paper, a photo management app combining the features of Affinity, DxO, and others sounds fantastic.

      Yeah the closest I've managed to get is Photos.app with Affinity plugins, and even then its still not as tightly integrated as I'd like.

      Someone here mentioned Gentleman Coders Nitro and it looks great so might try that for tagging and smart albums.

        It looks very interesting indeed. Thanks for the suggestion!
