Need Advice from Mac Aperture Users...
Nov 20, 2015 06:12:50 #
I have looked at LR and prefer to stay with Aperture for now on my MacBook Pro with OS10.10.3. I sometimes use PSE9, e.g. to add text. Now I need to do a lens distortion correction and swap a couple of heads of those with eyes closed, etc. in a group shot of 31 people. Do I finally need to buy PhotoShop? :?:

i also love my aperture 3 on my Mac...refuse to give it up until i will no longer have a choice..meantime i have photoshop elements both 8 and 12 on two different computers . both work fine for the texts and all the other things like swapping out heads etc..i was told even by the camera store near me that holds camera classes to hold on to that aperture program..

Thank you both. I downloaded PSE14, which was on sale and cheaper than upgrading.

OK, I was able to get everything installed, set-up, and working...almost. After editing in PSE14, when I save per the Aperture instructions, it does not put the edited image back into Aperture, which shows the original image plus a new identical one in TIFF, but without the edits done in PSE14. What am i doing wrong? :?:

I was told not to upgrade to El Capitan as then I might have problems with using Aperture. Any truth to this?

Absolutely no problems. I've used aperture in every version of OS with no problems.

Ditto, busmaster2. Been using Aperture in El Capitan with no problems since the first beta of 10.11. Now on 10.11.2 and NO PROBLEM with ANYTHING and Aperture works as always, seamlessly.

Not quite: you must turn off the image preview. The various color previews seem to turn the image pale or washed out.

You will probably have no choice when you purchase your next camera and find that Aperture can't read your image files.

I'm using an iPhone 6s and Nikon D750 with no problems.
Apple must keep it's raw converters up-to-date at the OS level so that Photos can continue to support ALL photographers. And, of course, .jpg is .jpg.
Because the image file interpreters/converters are at the MacOS level, one should expect that all applications that use images, certainly including both Photos and Aperture, will work just as one would expect.
Please try to understand that the MacOS is essentially future proof and the only things that seem to have been left behind were those things that only worked in 32bit mode once Apple moved to all-64 bit operations.

I have been able to work around it by saving PSE14-edited images in .tiff to a file, then re-importing them into Aperture. But That's clunky compared to how it's supposed to work. I'm not sure whether to contact Adobe or Apple. :?:
BTW, I am using 10.10.3, Yosemite, but that seems to be a non-issue.

Sorry for the problem, Tony.
I can do a secondary click on an Aperture image and edit with Photoshop 6, save it, and when I close the document in Photoshop, it shows up as another image in Aperture. No renaming, exporting or file mapping change to .tif needed.
If you're shooting camera RAW, which I highly recommend, at least from Aperture to Photoshop and back, after closing the edited image in PS, then shows up again in Aperture, but now includes the Photoshop attributes including layers if I want to go back to Photoshop.
