End of the road for Aperture?

It seems that Apple is making some changes to its Pro image editing app
philosophy. They are shelving plans for further development of
Aperture. Apparently sometime next year they will release a a new Photo
App for OSX, iPhoto will be replaced. This might be a rumor at this
stage as I haven't seen anything official from Apple.

When iOS 7 is updated to iOS 8 in September some of the elements of the
new Photo App and Cloud storage will be found there.

As far as I know, Jonas is the only shooter here using Aperture.

That seems to confirm the rumors.
Personally, I never became a fan of the Apple iPhoto/Aperture library
system and stayed in the Adobe camp.

I tried Aperture during v.1 of it and was not impressed at all (esp. at
the time as it managed the photo library out of site in a database -
something I cannot tolerate at all - v2 fixed that if you wanted to work
direct).

OTOH, having Bridge / CS3, 5 more than makes up for any and all things
that Aperture had.

Whatever Apple comes up with on the photo side, I would expect:

- it will continue the cross-product (iOS - OS X) integration that
has accelerated under Mavericks and Yosemite while continuing Apple's
more recent strong push to their cloud[1].
- it will do amazing things...
- in unspecified ways (eg: "obfuscated processing" (aka "magic"))
- the user will have less control (appeal to the masses)
- the RDF will promote the "magic"

And so it will not be a professional or serious amateur product in the
Photoshop sense; but it will provide for very fast cross platform
exchange and presentation.

Adobe's reign of terror for high end editing will continue. All bow down.

[1] this whole 'cloud' thing is hilarious. We were doing cloud
computing back in the CompuServe days and everything since has been
variations on clouds. The other thing of course is there is no singular
"cloud" there are many clouds that companies are proffering and scheming
to get you locked into their particular bit of cumulus.

....and you will be able to produce and share all sorts of Instagram

It isn't that terrible.
The $9.99/month deal is pretty good and a lot better than being on the
old upgrade treadmill. Now that was the reign of terror.

I deliberately left that out ...

I take issue with renting s/w by calendar time and not by work done. If
I used it 5 days a week an hour/day or more that would be something else.

Yeah, I'm really bummed out about this. Because I really don't like
Lightroom.

aperture was *not* abruptly axed.

it's been obvious for years that it's been dead.

I am not exactly thrilled with the shoe rental concept either.
Having said that, if software must be rented for non-commercial use, I
would prefer a time rental over a use concept. I think that a use
concept would have a tendency to stifle creative experiments. While at a
quick glance a use concept for commercial use, if coupled with a time
concept for non-commercial use, could easily create enforcement issues,
that would probably be more of a distraction for Adobe, than it would be
worth.

That should have read SW rental, not shoe rental.
