Aperture to Luminar
Nov 12, 2020 17:04:02 #
I am in the process of moving Aperture to Luminar. Has anyone had any experience with this? Is this a good move? Pros, Cons? Any way to keep Aperture? I have it on an external hard drive.
Thanks

Went through the Aperture to Lightroom transfer process. Be aware that your edits do not transfer unless you export your processed images and transfer them to the new software. If you do this, your loose the ability to re-edit your original photos which may be the OTC RAW images.

Really bad move. They’ve never gotten their dam to work correctly and lots of issues with Luminar 4 which they are ignoring as trying to buy Luminar AI without any changes to their basic features. I would strongly you look at On1 which is a solid Data Asset Management and great at other features. I use Luminar 4 as a plug-in. Heck, even Apple Photos is a better choice as your Data Asset Management with plug-ins out to almost anything.

Aperture 8s a long dead product. Neither Luminar or ON1 are very good at the digital asset management portion of their features. Thee is a good reason that Lightroom continues to be the clear choice for most. Some don’t like the subscription version but you can still buy the standalone one...but I think that $10 a month for LR, Photoshop and updates is a good buy...that’s the cost of 3 lattes or 2 beers a month.

I disagree with you about the Data Asset Management for On1 - I moved from aperture to LightRoom to On1. LightRoom corrupted its database metadata often. I’ve never had one issue with On1 especially if I use the browser method which uses the OS file structure.

I am using Apple Photos. I was able to import my Aperture library and use Luminar as a plugin. It works great. I also use Affinity as a plugin.
