Q: Will Aperture 3.6 work in Mac OS Sierra?

Sep 8, 2016 1:40 PMby Nikontraveler,OK thanks. At this time both my macs are still humming along in 10.10.5 Yosemite. I may have to stay with Yosemite for the future unless apple put all Aperture tools back in Photos. So far all the "Upgrades" in Photos are pretty useless to me.
Thanks,
RJ
P.S I have an external USB 3.0 drive that I have been updating to El Capitan to play with.

Two thoughts:
1. That won't happen. Who is going to replace an $80 app with a free one?
2. The problem with staying with Yosemite is that it's a time-limited proposition. At best, one day you'll have to replace the machine - a hardware issue, for instance. That new machine will not run Yosemite and one day may not run Aperture. What will you do then? Better to plan and execute your migration to whatever app you choose now, while it's not a crisis, only a pain.

Answer to question one. Apple with Photos "Pro" which is a reboot of Aperture 3.6 and I will pay $80.00 all day long for that program.
Answer to comment 2. I agree with that. I have to do something at some time. I've come to the conclusion that I am going to loose thousands of hours of editing RAW files on previous Images. In order to keep them I will have to buy stock in hard drives to store converted "versions" to .tiff files. I have done hundreds of selective color over black and white custom images in Aperture. No replacement program will recognize those images. The logical transition would be to go to Lightroom. Also I do seamless editing in Photoshop and Photomatix Pro 5 inside of Aperture without leaving the application. I'll keep the photoshop editing in Lightroom, but now I will have to go outside of Lightroom to use Photomatix Pro 5. I guess I can use HDR in Photoshop, however Photomatix Pro 5 is much more robust than Photoshop HDR. In the end, I would have thought that Apple would have learned their lesson with the Final Cut Pro kerfuffle. It is very clear that Tim Cook does not have the vision of what Apple should be that Steve Jobs did. Steve Jobs saw Apple as a tool for professionals and a toy for consumers. A great combination. Tim Cook only sees Apple as a consumer toy.

Don't hold your breath.
Apple make their money selling hardware. They figured out the pro and serious hobbyists aren't a big enough market to chase - or one that is served already. I wouldn't personalise it either. It's quite possible that SJ made the decisions that lead to the demise of Aperture. These things can have very long lead ins.
