Q: Will the new photo app support the Faces that I already have on my iPhoto/Aperture?

Hello

 

I am currently using Aperture to organise my photo library (it's a reasonable size of approximately 23,000).  I've heard lots of new things about the new photo app but was wondering if it would support the Faces function that we currently have.  I'm in the midst of going through a lot of my photos, tidying them up etc, but don't want to be wasting my time if it doesn't have that facility anymore.

 

thanks

iPhoto '11, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

    The new Photos.app supports Faces, and the faces you assign in Aperture or iPhoto will be migrated.

     

    You can see the Faces album in the Preview that apple published:

    Phew!

    I've already done at least half of my photos and so was unsure whether to carry on.  Do you know when the app will be released? Also, sorry to ask but do you happen to know if it will support also the photos that I take with my DSLR.  AT the moment I like to carry all my photos on my various devices, but it would be fantastic to have a place in the iCloud for all my photos.  I did try to use the BETA version when it first came out but it seemed to delete lots of photos so I got scared and went back to the original!

    Apple did not yet announce a definitive Release date for MacOS X 10.10.3 with Photos. I hope, they will not rush it out, but evaluate the Beta testing thoroughly, before they release it.

    Also, sorry to ask but do you happen to know if it will support also the photos that I take with my DSLR.

    If your Camera is supported in aperture, it will be supported in Photos. Are you shooting RAW? JEGs will always be supported.

      I did try to use the BETA version when it first came out but it seemed to delete lots of photos so I got scared and went back to the original!

    We are not allowed to discuss details of he Beta release, because all Beta Testers are signing a non-disclosure agreement.

     

    But don't trust precious original photos to any Beta release.
