The thing I will miss most is Apertures UI. I mean yeah, Lightroom's is similar, but Aperture had that right level of polish.
I'm an amateur/hobbyist, however, I do really want control over my photographs on how I edit and store them. Even though I would much rather use an Apple application, I have moved on to Adobe's Lightroom.Not sure what your real needs are, by after putting it off, I finally committed to giving Photos a fair shake. While it's certainly not Aperture, I've come to realize it offers what I need in terms of a image catalog and organizer. The out of the box editing tools are indeed limited, but the use of plugins, particularly those from Macphun really do turn Photos into a viable option for the average weekend shooter (in my opinion).
FYI ordering prints/books from iPhoto/Aperture ceases at the end of this month
I really loved Aperture and wish Apple stuck with it. With that said, Lightroom has some really great features that have really grown on me.Sigh...I suppose you're probably right about moving on. I'll check out Lightroom and C1P.
I haven't dug into this too deeply, but I think you can order Christmas Cards via Photos.Thanks for this heads-up. It means that next year's Christmas Card order for us will be forced into a new workflow ... and that since there will be an opportunity to shop around, that Apple is likely to lose out on that revenue now too.

Especially when there are so many good options out there for purchasing low volume digital print online.Its the principle of the matter: a customer should not reward bad customer products/service.
