[QUOTE="skater, post: 378181, member: 19158"] I use Aperture, too. I think they're going to push us towards Photos or Lightroom - sort of a "your choice". I don't know why they'd want to push people toward Lightroom since they don't make money on it, but hey, it's their company. Aperture's getting a bit long in the tooth - poor noise reduction, for example. I know there are plugins for it but I hate to go expanding it (or spending money on it) now that I know it'll be defunct soon. I recently tried Darktable under Linux. Looks pretty powerful, but I just wasn't getting it. I'm spoiled by Aperture's Auto Adjust feature, which usually gives me pretty good results and is a good place to start from to do further modifications. I should try Gimp - I've been using it for years for random graphic creation/minor photo editing, but I didn't think to try it for serious photo editing. [/QUOTE]
