So are you saying it’s okay for this long-standing bug to go unfixed because of my choice of camera? Like I said, I’ve also experienced this issue over the years using photos taken with various other cameras.
Nope. I'm saying you're wasting your time. Why?
Also, what exactly makes Apple Photos give-away?
Because you don't pay for it. And that is key. The only income it generates via the iCloud Photo Library. So it's a net cost to Apple. That tells you how much interest they have in it. And the old waffle about paying a premium for for Apple computers is only waffle. You'll find it hard to get a laptop as capable as your Mac for the same price. You will get cheaper, but it won't be as capable.
Further to that, I have over a decade of personal photos in my Photos library, sorted into albums, geo-tagged, with various Photos-only metadata applied. Migrating everything into another app isn’t trivial.
Didn't say it was.
I’m not interested in the bloatware that comes with Adobe Lightroom and often don’t need to make more than a few adjustments to my photos. When I do need to, I’ll use other software that I have available.
There are other apps than Lightroom. And it is undeniably a better organiser - in fact most other things are. You pay for them They have to be. Not sure what you're calling bloatware.
And where does Apple say that Photos is "aimed squarely at folks shooting with a phone and sharing across devices”? I must’ve missed that bit.
It's in front of your eyes.
There’s no reason to be an Apple apologist. A bug fix is all that’s required here.
An apologist? I'm exactly the opposite - and suggesting that you don't hold your breath waiting for that fix.
Or, you know, keep using Photos. Keep getting cross with it. My point is there are other options.
