The fact that Photos install was embedded in an OS update & it installs itself & then updates your library WITHOUT ASKING PERMISSION!!! I'm really surprised there hasn't been more controversy about this. What also offends me greatly is the way Apple has forced the Photos installation on users. I've over 40,000 hi-res RAWs in my library & found it handled them no trouble at all. IPhoto may have been getting long-in-the-tooth BUT. It is feature poor & a truly bad library organisation tool. Sadly it was more like iOS iPhoto for Mac. Shame on the author for being so uninformed on a topic about which she is purporting to provide advice.Many of us (foolishly) expected that with the demise of Aperture & the long gap between iPhoto updates that Photos would be more like 'iPhoto Pro'. (Reading the first two items on the list and the first sentence of the third was sufficient for the purposes of steering my mother-in-law away from this article.) This list is best ignored. I''ll stop there, because that''s where I stopped reading the article. Lightroom is a photo organizer with basic editing capabilities, while Photoshop is a powerful photo editor that can''t be used to organize photos. 'Adobe Lightroom for Mac is the Photoshop version of Mac.' That''s incorrect Lightroom and Photoshop are two different applications with two different primary functions. Aperture was no longer available for purchase about a year before this article was published, with Apple announcing plans to stop supporting Aperture in favor of its Photos app long before that.ģ.

Google started phasing Picasa out at least six months before this article was published. (Maybe ask your son-in-law if you have one?)ġ. Basically, my message is to pretend like this article doesn''t exist and find another resource. I write this comment in the hope that it may help others avoid wasting time (as my mother-in-law did) relying on this article, and not with the specific aim of criticizing the author for publishing an ill-informed, sloppily researched article.

I hate the new photos app for mac
