I just need to hope that other applications for photography can replace Aperture and have some way to transfer over the images in the way Apple say Photo will not only to make it easier but to offer a choice rather than being forced to use Photo or Lightroom, as Adobe is trying to force users to go down the monthly fee CC version. Many of Lightroom’s ability for me, isn’t used as I tend to use external applications such as Nik Software Silver Efexs Pro (that’s another story of paying out good money and them for it to be sold to bl****y Google) and Iridient Developer. Yes, while some will not be affected by Apple’s announcement, as they only used 70% of the apps features! the same can be said for the alternative – Lightroom – your comments that 70% is not neccessarily the same 70% other use. I added comments to their web site saying that they should do the honourable thing and refund all that had paid good money over and pointed out that the ‘free’ downgrade wasn’t free as we paid for it by buying the soon to be nonexistent app. But it was the attitude that ey, they had made a mistake, we would need to ‘downgrade’ and that they were offering the downgrade for free for a limited time I them went into meltdown. When I got the message that they had made a mistake and were to do away with the + version to be replaced with the old one that’s when I began to boil. I bought the iPhone version and the iPad version (if memories serve me right) then when the + version became available! I thought it was worth paying for and did so. go sit on the carpeted steps going up to the speakers desk, scribble out an amendment. Now to Clear and Clear+: I was incandescent with the rage at the attitude of Clear’s developers. But his old friend Eckhardt offered a substitute motion that. But here’s the rub, Apple has only committed to update Aperture to work with Yosemite which means either they will not support it after Yosemite or, if there’s enough anger felt from users, they might be forced to support it further. ![]() I know a user who has somewhere in the region of 50,000 images plus all the purchased plugins and he is fuming at Apple for this. It was bad enough to have shelled out the money just last year but to see Apple still selling the application after they have announced its demise is completely wrong. I bought Aperture as a library and editing tool for all my photographs that were not kept in Lightroom (Lightroom is used for my street photography and steam railway photography) yes, I bought Aperture for the lowered price, around £50-60, but I thought it would be supported for many years to come as it was Apple’s competition app against their rivals at Adobe. Many of us bought Aperture even though we used Lightroom as our main editing tool. Well, Elaine, I couldn’t agree more with your comments regarding Aperture, and especially regarding Clear and Clear+.
