[TImothy Auld] “FCPX has not seen a significant update in more than two years”

I get that you don’t like/trust/care for Apple, but this is false.

>>If they do, I think they are waiting for a youtube kind of delivery world for all media. And in my estimation that is still about twenty years away.<< That's been available for already a number of years. It may not be universally adopted, but it's readily available.

I’m not worried about it… 🙂

You CAN store your photos off line (local storage) or in iCloud. iCloud is not required. If you use iCloud, all of your devices will automatically sync to the latest accepted edit in Photos. That is the main advantage of iCloud usage. Not a great model for large RAW images, but for jpgs it could be an advantage as you do not have to manually sync your iPad, MacBook, or iPhone versions. Very good for showing portfolios, targeted projects, etc., no matter which device you have with you.

But you do NOT have to use iCloud for storage if you don’t want. I have several Aperture managed Libraries, one is 750GB. That would not be practical to load to iCloud, obviously. I will definitely be giving Photos a try, but will also keep a system or two for Aperture well into the future. It’s DAM is far superior to any other, and it works the way I think, no jumping between modules as with LightRoom.

BTW, Aperture will be supported at least through Yosemite, and is continuing to be sold at this time. I have versions of it running on 10.6.8 through latest Mavericks, will be adding a Yosemite boot drive to my 2012 MacPro for the 3.6 latest version of Aperture probably this week. Will upgrade that drive to Yosemite 10.10.3 that will include Photos when Photos is released, supposedly April, certainly before summer. I think that should hold me for a while. Also take a look look at Capture One by Phase One, it will have much better import of Aperture Libraries than LightRoom, and will allow you to still keep your Aperture Libraries intact and usable.
