Q: I am considering purchasing Aperture.
I am considering purchasing Aperture.
What is the deal with the possibility of it being discontinued? Is that possibility real? (February 2015)
If so what would be an alternative photo application for my iMAC?
iMac (27-inch Late 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

If that is fact, then should I wait for the successor? (what might that be?) I already have lots of old superseded applications. I'm presently still using Microsoft Picture-It under Parallels on my MAC, and I would prefer a faster, less cumbersome application that can do as much or more and as easily as that one.

Don, as you have seen, Apple's new Photos app for Mac is out - as a Beta version. It is more targeted at iPhoto users than Aperture users. And no realistic hope at all, that Apple will ever release worthy successor to Aperture. So we are the proud owners of the only professional photo application that Apple ever released.
