Q: Please analyze my current Aperture/hardware situation
First of all I'm a bit depressed about this whole death of Aperture reality. I'm not sure what to switch to in the future so I would like to use Aperture a little longer.
Please give me some hardware recommendations so I can get the latest Aperture version to use. I'm currently running Aperture 3.2.4 on a 2010 iMac, 10.6.8, with 12 gigs of RAM. It runs almost flawlessly with this setup.
I am a photographer who relies on Aperture. I currently have about 35,000 managed (95 percent jpeg) images in mainly two library's. I use Time Machine. I am not super computer literate. Although I have a lot of experience, I have no formal computer training. Can you give me a checklist as to what would be the most efficient way for me to continue using Aperture?
