After the latest update, Apple put up a little nag on my screen encouraging me to try Photos. OK, why not? It helpfully offered to convert my Aperture library. I'm not that dumb, so I created a new Photos library instead. Here's what I have found: The application's feature set has been severely constrained. Most of the advanced operations are no longer possible. This new program will be totally unsuitable for any photo amateur who shoots RAW files, for one. It includes a retouch tool, but nothing like the Aperture tools for basic image editing of course. It really seems geared at getting you to jam your photos into iCloud. All in all, it seems like a product for smartphone users, not for photography enthusiasts or professionals. I would say more but the application is so feature-bare that I have just produced a comprehensive review! Three thumbs down.

From a shit company.
I have no Adobe software on any Mac I own and I never will. If I had a
job that required Adobe Software, that job would have to provide me a
computer to run it on. (Not likely, it's been 15 years since I last
needed something like InDesign and back then I was using Quark Xpress
and Framemaker anyway).
I don't trust Adobe as a company, so I don't trust their software. I'm
also sick of having to clean their malware off other people's computers
who make the mistake of installing Flash.

But you have failed to provide a single instance in which iPhoto was
better.

Then Photos is probably not for you. For the majority of Mac owners, it
is an improvement.

Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism's in my
opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should
believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in The
Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was The
Walrus. I could be The Walrus and I'd still have to bum rides off of
people.

I don't understand how any iPhoto user could consider this an upgrade at all, and it's certain that no Aperture user will find any purpose for this new software. Just another sign of the now seemingly inevitable decline of Apple's quality.

While I would like to agree, it's Mr. China Outsourcing Man Tim Cook who is in charge. If Ive was in charge it might be different, but who knows.

Certainly Cook runs & controls the business side, and keeps the board content, but it is Ive and his design philosophy who drives the look and feel of hardware and software that is currently being presented to us. So when it comes to design, it is Ive who is in charge. It is Ive who has delivered the iPod, iPhone, iPad, iMac, OSX, iOS, all the companion software, and now the Apple Watch. It is Ive who has donned the mantle of the "Cupertino primadonna who should not be challenged". -- Regards, Savageduck

I'm still waiting for anyone at all to say anything concrete about how Photos is worse than iPhoto. So far, nothing. > You don't have to evangelise around here. You're starting to sound like > a Scientologist (we'd like to audit your jpegs). You and a couple of others keep saying how much worse it is, but never have a single specific example of anything that is worse. So, anytime someone says it is worse, I'm going to ask how it's worse until I get an actual answer. If this bothers you, you know what to do. -- 'Luck is my middle name,' said Rincewind, indistinctly. 'Mind you, my first name is Bad.' --Interesting Times
