This is not exactly news.
Aperture has been dead since 2012. It reached room temperature last year.

Get it before it goes sub zero... ;-/

Not much point. Any serious Aperture users already have the final
release and are engaged in migrating to Lightroom. Those who were just
using Aperture as iPhoto on steroids will probably make do with Apple's
new Photo App which will be included with the final release of OSX
10.10.3. That along with the Photo App is currently in public Beta. Not
even Apple is touting the new Photo App as an Aperture replacement.

Check with Jonas/Sandman, he will tell you of his experience, and the
things he misses from his Aperture workflow. The latest I am aware of
him missing is "Events" in LR.

This was a public service announcement, of course.

So it will be missed...

anyone who buys it now is wasting their money.

You are just an Apple basher.

because it's a dead product. buying a dead product is a waste of money.

it will never be upgraded for future systems which means it might no
longer work as soon as next september.

It will, indeed. I am currently running both Aperture and Lightroom with the same
photos, and there are a number of things LR is sorely lacking. Here are a few
I've talked about in the past:

1. No auto-sync with cloud storage
2. No "Events" to automatically group your photos
3. No high dynamic range in curves
4. Many problems with importing photos if there are videos in the batch
5. Slow to use and slow to import
6. Poor Facebook/Flickr support
7. Buggy support for lens data in EXIF
8. Pretty cumbersome workflow
9. No support for face recognition
10. No support for drag'n'drop of current version of photo

Might have missed some. But, having said that, here are some positive things
about Lightroom over Apertu

1. Far better noise reduction (not as good as DxO Optics, but good enough)
2. "Clarity" is a lot better than "Definition"
3. Lens correction built in, no need to use DxO Optics.
4. Support for more publishing services via plugins, even if the UI is awful.

OSX Photos, now in public beta, is no Aperture replacement. It's hardly even a
iPhoto replacement. We'll see how it matures, and if it will truly have non-
destructive plugins (which some have claimed, but can't back up).

not by many. otherwise it would have not been cancelled. it was a
commercial failure. there's no getting around that.

10. No support for drag'n'drop of current version of photo

those are anywhere from completely bogus to coming in lightroom 6 to
minor issues.

'awful ui' is subjective.

far more people prefer lightroom's ui than they did aperture. that's
partly why aperture was a dud.

a
iPhoto replacement. We'll see how it matures, and if it will truly have non-

it slots between iphoto and aperture, exactly as intended.

Nothing bogus, and some are minor but still bothersome. Not sure what of the
above you think will be in LR6, there hasn't been any official word from Adobe
yet. The things that are being rumored are things like content-aware editing.

Well, of course.

far more people prefer lightroom's ui than they did aperture. that's

How do you figure? By the same logic, far more people prefer Windows UI than
the Mac UI and Windows is far superior than Macs. I just find this line of
thinking hard to swallow from a Mac user.

Just because Android and Windows is used far more than iPhone and Macs doesn't
mean they have superior UI or that far more people think they do.

I'm sure some people think the Lightroom UI is better than Aperture, but I
would bet the reason why most people are using Lightroom is due to Aperture not
being available to Windows users, and most people use Windows, so they had no
choice what so ever. For Mac users, some switched due to Aperture not being
updated enough, plus it's easier to use the same tool as your Windows
colleagues do, since there is a line of support.

No, it doesn't. It currently "slots" beneath iPhoto, lacking many features of
iPhoto. Perhaps when it's out of beta, it will close to iPhoto, but currently
it isn't.

You're the one that kept claiming that OSX Photos "looked a lot" like both
Aperture and Lightroom, when it's nowhere near either of them. You also said
that there was a big chance of OSX Photos leaving Lightroom "in the dust".
Well, that's not working out really well.
