I will stay with Aperture. I don't keep my pictures in Aperture, I have my system and stick with it. (2 + TB).
I also have 2 independent sets of of storage (Had a hard drive crash and lost all) I have 4 hard drives. 2 on each of two computers. I put all my pictures (RAW & JPEG0 by date (today is 141122) the other is my final saved sorted by subject (the way we did it in a file cabinet-- as STATE THEN CITY ETC.)

Thought this was a discussion of a main issue in photography and not an issue of more limited interest.

Gee--I'm sorry you were insulted and found that question inappropriate.
So are your comments.

I don't like Lightroom as much as I do Aperture. I'm sure part of it is the learning curve, but I'm kicking myself for racing over to LR when I heard about Apple "abandoning" the program. After the tedious task of copying and moving the pictures to LR, I find myself back in iPhotos and Aperture again and essentially ignoring Lightroom. Just my 2 cents

Exactly--I find myself doing the same thing. It's just another whole new learning curve with LR--and--I'm getting a new 7D2 which Aperture won't support (yet, anyway) and I'll have that learning curve to deal with also--so I've got a real dilemma.
Aperture is a great program and the longer I use it and become familiar with its vast capabilities, the more I like it. Plus--I go to the Apple store about 3 times per month for some great One-One instruction. That's the best $100/yr I've ever spent.
I'm also going to become more familiar with Canon's Digital Photo Professional, which I've never used. Just another option.

I was fooled as well. I thought "Aperture" would be about f-stops and irises. I never even would think of a propitiatory Apple / Mac application. "Apple Aperture" might have clued me in. Not the best choice of a product name by Apple, inc. (no wonder they are known as a hardware company and not a software company). Common simple terms in a field (photography) should not be used as product names -- poor marketing. Just confuses everyone. Imagine a digital camera called "Film Box 100", or editing software called "Click OK". Note, Photoshop is spelled incorrectly as one word, and "photo shop" does not really mean anything specific itself. Note also, Adobe Lightroom, not "Darkroom". I could site hundreds of examples of poor and effective product names.
Of course official use of brand names usually includes a (C), (R), or (TM). That tends to clarify things as well.

How many of everyone out there are still using Apple Aperture? Do you plan to stay with it or ultimately switch over to Lightroom and the cloud?
I found this web page from Apple about iPhoto, Aperture and Yosemite very interesting. Both programs are integrated and Apple clearly has not abandoned Aperture.

Will use Aperture as long as possible. I do most of my work on an iMac that will not need replacement for a very long time if ever. Laptop for travel and lecture. It does what I want and as long as it does that I'll be happy.

Me too.
I bought Lightroom a few years back; took a look at it and stuck with Aperture.

quote I'm getting a new 7D2 which Aperture won't support (yet, anyway) end quote
fyi, adobe has issued the patch and the 7d mk II's raw files are now handled by adobe products.
I've had aperture for a few years but never really liked it compared to photoshop. Just didn't want to pay for PS. When PS CC came out for $9.99 a month and you got LR as well I switched.
I am really liking LR and the printer functions it has in it. I have a Canon Pro 100 printer and it is so easy to move the picture your printing around the paper to waste less paper. Usually LR has enough PP to touch up my pictures enough without even opening PS.
There is a learning curve but what a great program to put the effort into.

Aperture already support the 7D mark2. It was out with camera RAW for that before Adobe was.

There will always be those few that will be fooled regardless of a title or the subject matter. Why not just attempt to learn from it and not complain? :roll:

I sympathize with you, I'm still trying to hang curtains on Windows. :roll:

Now that is funny but yet so true.
