    iPhone 14 Pro 14 Pro(Max) Camera Downgrade

    While Apple has touted the better iPhone 14 pro cameras, I noticed that the maximum aperture for the main camera has actually been downgraded compared to the 13 pro. It has gone from a max aperture of f1.5 to f1.78. Even the 12 and 13 non-pros have a larger max aperture at f1.6. I appreciate...

    saving edited/adjusted photos from Aperture

    Hi All, I put off moving on from Aperture and now need to because as you know, the new operating system doesn't support it. I haven't changed OS yet. I plan to work in Lightroom going forward. From what I understand, there is no way to transfer existing photos from Aperture (and have them keep...

    Merging Aperture library to iCloud Photos?

    With the imminent full deprecation of Aperture in Catalina, I am finally looking to migrate off of Aperture. For my needs, even with the very limited editing controls in Photos.app, using Photos with iCloud Photos is the best compromise for me (compared to Lightroom, Capture One), especially...

    Not able to restore my Aperture library

    I have backed up my Aperture 3 library (managed NOT referenced) which was ( 800GB) to Time machine as well as to an off site external HD. My problem is that since Safari crashed recently my Aperture program won’t open on my iMac (3TB) running Yosemite. Aperture works on my MBP also running...

    Advice on Aperture alternative

    Hello. I have continued using aperture as I didn't like the organization and navigation of Photos initially. But given that Aperture is no longer updated or supported, I suppose I should switch. I shoot about once a month so have a fair number of photos to store and organize. I don't do a lot of...

    Aperture to Photos – success story (long)

    I have been loyal Aperture user since the beginning and still cannot forgive Apple ditching it.. This is the story of migrating 50k+ RAWs (~1TB) into Photos. I've decided to share it as there are still many looking for Aperture alternative. Natural direction for most is Lightroom (which I truly...

    DAM Photo editor

    So, it's nearly time to move on from Aperture... There are a number of photo editors popping up, and they all look quite capable, but there's not much talk of DAM. Can anyone recommend an Aperture replacement with good DAM that can be purchased outright? It doesn't have to have PS-like...

    Cloud based based alternative to Photos (with iCloud sharing)

    Hello, I use iCloud Photo Sharing for all my photos that I take with my iPhone or iPad. However I also own a DSLR that I use and I am looking for another app/service to use for my DSLR pictures. I really like Aperture, but as I use both a home computer and a laptop - cloud sharing is rather...

    Aperture support not dead ...

    Saw this new support document on Apple's support site: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203358 Nice to know that Apple is still thinking about Aperture.

    What is the easiest way to manually unify my photos, aperture, and iPhoto's libraries?

    Searching through the internet there doesn't seem to be a solution to merge libraries in the Mac Photos app. I now have 3 libraries, aperture, photos, and iPhoto. I just use photos to import stuff so keeping albums and edits aren't a big deal. What would be the easiest way? Find the content...

    Pining for Aperture after upgrade to Yosemite

    Somewhere along the way I completely missed any info warning about upgrade issues with Aperture I was unaware of the forward 'incompatibility' of Aperture with osx yosemite . Any ideas how to backtrack ...... Can I somehow get back to an OSX that will still allow me to use Aperture? I love...

    Aperture - can't access metadata screen after Sierra update

    This is super annoying. When I go into full screen mode, Aperture stops and I have to force quit. Should I be reporting this to Apple? If so, how? [EDIT] This thread is now located here, http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macos-10-12-sierra-post-bugs-and-fixes-here.1991731/page-6#post-23554718

    Do both cameras in the 7 Plus have OIS?

    As the title states! I wonder if both have cameras have it? Also, the rumours said that there was a slight difference in the size of the sensor, the 7 being slightly larger at 1/2.6" vs 1/3" for the wide angle lens. Anyone have any insight on that? Personally I'm a little disappointed that...

    Aperture Presets

    Good Day Folks, Recently while into my parents place, my father uncovered a box that was stored away long ago. Within this box were my old copies of Final Cut Studio, Aperture, Adobe CS5, and a bunch of other goodies, including a copy of OS X Panther. Anyway, I installed Mavericks again and...

    Apple Made Me Buy a Windows HP Workstation

    So, yep, that is exactly what happened. I wanted to buy a Mac Pro for my 4k editing needs. I nursed my 2009 Mac Pro 4,1 for 7 years, upgrading the RAM, the video card, constantly changing out hard drives as my needs dictated, loving the configurability and reliability of that machine. But it was...
