I am still running OS 10.9.5 and Software Update doesn't display any options for Aperture 3.6 nor iPhoto 9.6. I guess I would need to upgrade to Yosemite first.

Will my Aperture (3.5.1) and iPhoto (9.5.1) upgrades for Yosemite be free, do you know please?

The newest versions are for compatibility with Yosemite and require MacOS X 10.10 or later.

Will my Aperture (3.5.1) and iPhoto (9.5.1) upgrades for Yosemite be free, do you know please?

The update from Aperture (3.5.1) and iPhoto (9.5.1) to Aperture 3.6 and iPhoto 9.6. have been free for me, as well as the upgrade to Yosemite from Mavericks.

Léonie, what happened to that lioness that use to greet us when we looked at your posts? Going anonymous?

The lioness has turned into the Cheshire Cat - sometimes it there, sometimes in hiding. Either it is JIVE's newest trick, or the lioness did not like the purple background I added yesterday as a tribute to Spirit Day:

Today is Spirit Day

Yesterday I looked like this - sometimes:

It is a new task for the trusty engineers to figure that out!

Your avatar seems to be more robust.

It is weird. I do not see my avatar either. But when I reload the page it will show.

Nothing I do lets me see your Avatar. Also I cannot see the image you posted above. In fact it's been some time since I've been able to see any images that you have posted.

😟

<edit>

If I go to your profile and look at your posts there I do see your avatar See if you see this

And I also see it at the bottom of this page

I cannot see your screenshots either, but your "Engineer" avatar is showing.

I notice, we are both using png files.

Can you see a JPEG?

Frank's images usually show for me (and, recently, always, iirc).

Léonie's images have not been showing when posted since ... a week or more? But some of them do eventually show up.

Just what I'm seeing. IME, the communities are significantly less functional than they were before the latest update to the community software. (Laughed at Frank's comment saying pretty much the same last week.)

Your Dropbox photos are showing fine, thanks!

It is funny that you are seeing tow different avatars at the same time. The top screenshot with "Replying to" is still showing yesterday's Spirit Day avatar, and the screenshot below from the activity stream (?) is showing the current avatar.

For me, this looks like JIVE could not sync changes to the profiles consistently to all servers and update them quickly.

I have posted most screenshots using Yosemite lately. perhaps it is a problem with Safari in Yosemite.

Or with regional servers. I am seeing the screenshots posted by members living this side of the great pond, but not pictures posted on the other side.

First observations with Aperture 3.6 on Yosemite:

There is a lot of initial background processing going on each launch: face detection, preview creation, syncing with iCloud.
I don't see any changes to the graphical user interface.
My Canon EOS 5D Mk II raw files and the Lumix FZ28 DNG files are looking very different now. The colors are more vibrant and the images are brighter; I'd even say overexposed.

The changed RAW processing is surprising, since the release notes do not mention it: Aperture 3.6 Release notes

Aperture 3.6 Update

Adds compatibility with OS X Yosemite.

Fixes an issue that could cause Aperture performance to slow down while browsing through images with onscreen proofing enabled.

Fixes an issue where Aperture could become unresponsive in rare cases when adding to a shared photo stream.

Fixes an issue that could cause Aperture to unexpectedly quit when using the Write IPTC Metadata to Originals feature.

Aperture no longer displays the alert, “This library has been opened with a newer version of Aperture.” when using Library First Aid with libraries previously opened in iPhoto.

Am currently running Aperture 5.3.1 on OS 10.9.5. I went down to the Apple store with my external drive and a copy of my library. All the computers had just been upgraded to Yosemite. when my library opened, the computer automatically upgraded my library to a 3.6 version. I thought I would upchuck my lunch. when I got home I connected the drive and prayed that the library would load under my older version. It did! So the update 3.6 does not interfere with the prior version but provides an opportunity for Yosemite users to use Aperture.

Incidentally, the info under "system requirements" for Yosemite mistakenly states that it will work on any OS 10.9 or higher. That is incorrect because you cannot install it. See below.

I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10 and when I try to open my Aperture I get a message that says "You can't use this version of Aperture 3.1.3 with this version of OSX. I tried the 3.6 upgrade but also got an error message. I need to access my photos. Hello Genius Bar.
