Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have been using Aperture III for years and have loved its features, except that it crashes when when I use the retouch tool. I am looking to replace it, and trash that software as well as the old iPhoto software and the new Photos software. Looking for suggestions
MacBook Pro
Thanks. Luminar, as you describe it , seems to offer the editing features that I am looking for. What do you think of my using the new Apple Photos app for my photo library and photo management in conjunction with Luminar for editing?
That is what I am currently using - Photos to manage the library (plus plenty of handmade Apple Scripts to add bit of batch changing for metadata) and I am calling Luminar as a photo editing extension.
Photos will give us keywords, albums, smart albums, folders and many predefined smart albums to structure the library. but it supports less metadata than Aperture did. By now the Finder is showing more metadata for a photo than Photos ever did.
Use Photos as your asset manager
But that's where it's weakest...
That's very reassuring. I have to do some back up of photos and migrate them as raw data before I get up an running with Luminar. I hope I remember to get back to you. Thanks very much
