#Aperture for mac mac os#

Starting with macOS Catalina, Aperture is no longer compatible with macOS. For technical reasons, macOS Mojave is the last version of macOS to run Aperture. Since then, Apple has released six major macOS upgrades. In June 2014, Apple announced that development of Aperture has been discontinued.

I am starting to see creakiness in iPhoto, it crashes more often, and needs rebuilding more frequently than I remember, it seems to be having random troubles reading my SD card fully, not sure if that's a card issue or the software. I'm not thrilled about being two generations behind in OS, so may bite the bullet and move to Mojave.

It appears that iPhoto & Aperture both still run under Mojave, but the new Catalina (10.15.x) is going to break them. I'm not interested in getting into Adobe's pay-by-the-month forever business model either. I do most editing in iPhoto, but use Aperture for more detailed stuff. Also, the editing capabilities I have in Aperture are not available, burning, dodging, spot fixes for contrast and other fine work. I've played with Photos a bit, and am not impressed, the interface is not intuitive (to me), and my sense is Apple wants you to use it so they can sell you cloud space. Primarily as I have not wanted to go through the pain of migrating my 100K + images from a shared iPhoto & Aperture library to Photos. For a few good reasons and some just plain stubbornness, I've not upgraded from High Sierra (10.13.x) to Mojave (10.14.x)
