#For Photographers 2015 How To Deal With#

Until this year, Mac ownersВ had three major options for organizing large digital photo collections: AppleвЂ™s mainstream iPhoto,В AppleвЂ™s вЂњproвЂќВ app Aperture, and AdobeвЂ™s similarly professional-grade Lightroom. While Macs seem to be gaining popularity from where I stand it seems that thereвЂ™s been a shift in what our readers are using because back in 2007 when I last ran this poll the result. What interested me most about this result was the change from last time we ran it. It is time for the results of our last poll Mac vs PC for Post Production.

Apple understood that it was cedingВ at leastВ the professional market to Lightroom, and even helped Adobe to develop Aperture and iPhoto to Lightroom importers.В With the writing on the wall, someВ people switched to Lightroom 5 well before Photos officially debuted last month.Im a boudoir photographer and I have highly sensitive photos in my galleries.

Alternately,В Lightroom 6 can be purchased by itselfВ for $149 as a standalone download, minus Photoshop and cloud functionality.Below, IвЂ™m going to focus on the key questions Aperture users have been asking: what itвЂ™s like to transition from Aperture to Lightroom вЂ” including new details added after initial publication of this articleВ вЂ” plus which version of Lightroom to buy, and whether transitioning is a good (and safe) idea. As part of AdobeвЂ™s вЂњCreative Cloud,вЂќ Lightroom CC comesВ bundled with AdobeвЂ™s latest version of Photoshop, plus cloud photo synchronization services, for $9.99 per month. On April 21, Adobe released Lightroom 6В and Lightroom CC (2015)В as standalone and cloud-linked versions of the same app.В Both promise major speed improvements over Lightroom 5, new tools and brushes, a new facial recognition feature, automatic HDR and panoramic photo creation, and new slideshow options. I didnвЂ™t since Lightroom 5 was almost three years old, I wantedВ to see what Adobe would deliver in its much-anticipated sequel. Bell , Lindell 2015 Kinloch , Delmar 2027 DELPORTE F.

Numerous impressive editing tools work well and quickly Standalone version fully replaces AppleвЂ™s Aperture (or iPhoto) subscription version adds cloud photo sync and mobile apps Professional-classВ digital photo editing andВ library management

To get to the iPhoto/Aperture tools, you need to leave that import screen, go to File > Plug-in Extras, then Import from Aperture Library. For some reason, the appвЂ™s initial import process takes you to a part of Lightroom that can only import individual images and folders, not iPhoto or Aperture libraries. Pick the one thatвЂ™s best for your needs.Question 2: How Hard Is The Aperture To Lightroom Migration?IвЂ™d like to be able to tell you that the Aperture to Lightroom migration process is dead simpleВ вЂ”В which it certainly should have been вЂ”В but in my experience, it wasnвЂ™t. Unlike Apple, which has made iCloud-based access completely unaffordable for users with large photo libraries, AdobeвЂ™s $9.99/month bundle of organizing and editing apps with cloud syncing between devices is actually reasonable for whatвЂ™s being offered вЂ”В assuming youвЂ™ll use both apps and the cloud services.

Then I started the process of completely de-referencing my Aperture library by moving the library file onto the hard drive where all of the images had been referenced, then combining them together using ApertureвЂ™s вЂњconsolidate libraryвЂќ feature. This was a major disappointment, and for some Aperture users, it will be an unnecessary impediment to transitioning to Lightroom 6 or CC.To get the process rolling, I created a small sample library in iPhoto and imported it into Lightroom, which worked mostly as expected, though oddly with a giant collection of individual folders вЂ”В one for every day represented by the photos. When I queried itsВ web-based help systemВ вЂ” notably more thanВ two weeks after Lightroom 6 was released вЂ”В it brought me to this page, which Adobe hadnвЂ™t finished filling out:When I searched AdobeвЂ™s web site for solutions, I found that other Lightroom users have been howling about Aperture import issues on AdobeвЂ™s web site for months and trying to find workarounds. Sometimes, it displayedВ an error that it had вЂњfailed to obtain image version information from Aperture library,вЂќ butВ offered no workaround. Lightroom didnвЂ™t seem to know how to deal with this: it hung when trying to process my iMacвЂ™s small referenced library, and hung again when trying to process my MacBook ProвЂ™s larger library.

Its Library lets you look at filtered and sorted grids of your photographs, compare two or several photographs to one another, and using a tiny People icon, index photos by facial recognition like AppleвЂ™s Faces feature.В Just like iPhoto and Aperture, Lightroom requires a bit of training to learn individual faces вЂ”В and will occasionally find a вЂњfaceвЂќ in a photo of a bowl of soup or something else without any trace of facial features, but the facial recognition interface is very easy to use.I personally prefer the look of ApertureвЂ™s main library grid, but AdobeвЂ™s black and gray surrounding interface is a better match for the spartan, flattened OS X Yosemite В thereвЂ™s thankfully no trace of ApertureвЂ™s awkward-looking вЂњcorkboard and Polaroid photoвЂќ UIВ in LightroomвЂ™s People section, either.В You can customize LightroomвЂ™s grid such that photos are shown with ratings, filenames, badges, and other data, or use a less cluttered view with just pictures inside ofВ optionally colored frames.
