I loved Aperture. I haven't found anything worthy of replacing it since. Set up Picasa for the family after Aperture got the ugly boot and even Picasa withered to crap. Its so frustrating to have a dozen half-baked photo apps all with glaring usability oversights. And no, I keep everything local so your companies cloud is not a perk.

The coolest replacement I found was mylio, but it is subscription based. That's not practical for photo archival use so hard pass. An Aperture alternative from Affinity sounds amazing. Folks seem to understand their passion well and they priced software affordably enough I took a leap of faith; I was hooked.

Aperture is still my old archive and it opens and stuff, times have moved on since it was abandoned. I'm using a NAS now and a crappy script to sort EXIF info by YYYY-MM-DD folders. It works for now, but there are errors and I'm always on the lookout for something more reliable.

^^ One more quality post from the desk of Ebby. ^^
