It’s blatantly clear that this site must evolve to survive. So where does it go? I’ve been struggling with this since the news hit, and now I turn to you, vast audience, for guidance.
Apple released a fairly high resolution screenshot of the new Photos app along with their statement last week. Let’s take a closer look at it to see what it may reveal about the upcoming Photos.app.
There have been more comments on the post announcing/analyzing the end of Aperture than this site has ever seen, so I’m replying at-large to the most common questions in this new post.
This is happening, people. The future of Aperture has been written. Aperture itself will continue to be supported at least through OS X Yosemite, however starting early next year, the Great Migration to Photos will begin. The future will be amazing—we just have to get there first.
The iPad is the perfect device to show easily your photos. Many Aperture 3 users want a companion app which allows viewing, rating and other things directly on the iPad. Unfortunately while there is still no official solution, we can get the desktop version of Aperture running on the iPad with a little effort.
Do you share your photos online? Of course you do! Fill in the Title and Caption metadata in Aperture before you share. You’ll save time setting these fields once in Aperture, and add another dimension to how your photos are displayed online.
