Will Aperture 3.6 work in Mac OS Sierra?

I may have to stay with Yosemite for the future unless apple put all Aperture tools back in Photos.

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.

Apple with Photos "Pro" which is a reboot of Aperture 3.6 and I will pay $80.00 all day long for that program.

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.

There are already a few glitches with Aperture on El Capitan. Since there has been no Apdate for Aperture to fix these, expect these glitches to persist in Aperture for macOS Sierra.

Is Aperture 3.6 working with OSX 10.11.6? I'll still hanging out in OSX 10.11.2. Every upgrade is a stressor. Thanks.

Not better or worse than on OSX 10.11.2. You might update as well to profit from the bug fixes and security updates in OSX 10.11.6.

God news:

Now that Sierra has been released, I can confirm that Aperture is still working on macOS 10.12 Sierra. I launches, and it has the same glitches as on OS X El Capitan.

News from God?

True… you are an Aperture god, but still…. ;-)

I tried to find the glitches in El Capitan by searching the forum, but I am having a hard time finding them for some reason (I am still on Yosemite). As I recall, they included a:

- minor “Dodge and Burn” shift (1 pixel)

- upside down previews in list view

- Crop not applied on export

Don’t recall and can’t find the others issues. Is the last one even a “thing” (crop)? I thought some people had it, but others didn’t.

Anything else in Sierra and El Capitan?

The spell checker has wicked humor! 😁 😁

The "crop" problem is still there. It is a variant of the more serious problem, that adjustments will not be applied on export, if you are using the "level" adjustment and the straighten tool at the same time.

The problem is gone, if you are applying the Auto Enhance first. It looks like a problem of uninitialized variables, See: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7564567

It doesn't work for me 😟 Crashes when I try to preview a photo in full-screen by pressing 'f'. I guess it's time to switch to Lightroom? 😟

Full screen preview is still working for me. But it may depend on the platform where you are running Aperture, perhaps depend on your graphics card or external monitors. I can only test on MacBook Pros , mid 2015 models, and an 2015 iMac.

I'd try to restart the Mac in Safe Mode to reset the graphics card and then start up normally again (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262)

I'm on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)

That crash does not look good.

Try, to find out, if this problem is system wide, or happens only for your current Aperture library. It may be a data error.

• Create a new Aperture library for testing with a few test images. Does Aperture work for this test library?
• If Aperture is not working on your test library, log into the another user account and test there. Perhaps you have corrupted preferences files: Isolating an issue by using another user account

Created an empty library and imported one of the photos. Problem doesn't exist in this new library. I did rebuild the original library but that didn't help. I also tried starting in safe mode, but that didn't help either 😟

Than you have probably items in your aperture library that cannot be processed. It might be a problem of corrupted media files.

Do you also see the crash, if you hold down the shift key while launching Aperture to defer the generation of previews?
