I agree with that. I have to do something at some time. I've come to the conclusion that I am going to loose thousands of hours of editing RAW files on previous Images. In order to keep them I will have to buy stock in hard drives to store converted 'versions' to.tiff files. I have done hundreds of selective color over black and white custom images in Aperture.
No replacement program will recognize those images. The logical transition would be to go to Lightroom. Also I do seamless editing in Photoshop and Photomatix Pro 5 inside of Aperture without leaving the application. I'll keep the photoshop editing in Lightroom, but now I will have to go outside of Lightroom to use Photomatix Pro 5. I guess I can use HDR in Photoshop, however Photomatix Pro 5 is much more robust than Photoshop HDR.
In the end, I would have thought that Apple would have learned their lesson with the Final Cut Pro kerfuffle. It is very clear that Tim Cook does not have the vision of what Apple should be that Steve Jobs did. Steve Jobs saw Apple as a tool for professionals and a toy for consumers. A great combination. Tim Cook only sees Apple as a consumer toy. Whilst trying to work with my AP-Library from El Capitan in macOS Sierra, I was running more or less into the same problems like described in the previous posts.
Full screen opened (hitting F), but crashed whilst hitting F again to close full screen. Batch editing (Command-Option-B) did not show the window. in the tab „Info“ the window for preferences (the gear wheel icon) didn’t open.
etc.If I open a new library in AP in Sierra everything works fine. Oho!If I try to merge an (El Capitan) AP-library into the new created library in Sierra all above mentioned problems were the sameCreating a new AP-library in El Capitan and open this one in Sierra works fine! Oho again.Therefore obviously something must be a wrong in the develop or metadata part of my main aperture library used in El CapitanTrying a test library with a few photos and different applied metadata or develop settings brought the solution - at least for me.
The custom metadata fields are leading to the suspicious problems described above.Not knowing if there exist different problems caused by hardware or macOS Sierra leading to the AP-problems for other users, but give the following tipp a try. Create a new AP-library in Sierra. Import 3-5 photos (only importing, don’t add metadata, no develop settings, therefore check your import options).
Adobe has just unveiled its “February Photography Releases” for both versions of Lightroom across all devices—a slew of workflow and performance updates that include more support for GPU.
try if your specific problems still occur (e.g. Hitting F for fullscreen, Command-Option-B for batch editing)If everything works fine now, do following. Open your main AP-library. Create a new project and name it whatever you like (e.g. Sierra Test).
Search for custom metadata fields using „Aperture Metadata“ and „is not empty“. Copy some of the photos found (at least one) into your new project (Sierra Test). Export the project folder as a new AP-library (e.g. Sierra Test Library). Open the new AP-library (Sierra Test Library).
Try if your specific problems still occur (e.g. Hitting F for fullscreen, Command-Option-B for batch editing).
I sure it will. Go to tab „Info“, hit the gear wheel icon, go to „manage custom fields“ (sorry but I only work with german version; therefore it may be named a little bit different in english version, but I’m sure you find it). Delete all custom fields. Try if your specific problems still occur (once again e.g. Hitting F for fullscreen, Command-Option-B for batch editing). I guess everything will work.If everything works as it should, you have found your specific problem.
Otherwise there must be other problems due to hardware or macOS Sierra which I am not able to detect (thanks god!).Now open your main AP-library and!!! STOPP - DO NOT delete the custom metadata fields!!!
Please first think about if you need your custom metadata field data! If not delete them.

If you need them, my suggestion is to copy them over to the keywords field. I will not describe this, as I assume you are a long time user and know how to do it. When you have finished, you should now delete your custom metadata fields. As soon as the last field is deleted, Aperture on macOS Sierra will work again as it should (and has yet running El Capitan).There is one more thing;-)if you use smart albums AND have some custom metadata fields selected, please be sure to change your settings respectively to the „new home“ of your custom metadata field dataGOOD LUCK. I may have to stay with Yosemite for the future unless apple put all Aperture tools back in Photos.Two thoughts:1. That won't happen.
Who is going to replace an $80 app with a free one?2. The problem with staying with Yosemite is that it's a time-limited proposition. At best, one day you'll have to replace the machine - a hardware issue, for instance.
That new machine will not run Yosemite and one day may not run Aperture. What will you do then? Better to plan and execute your migration to whatever app you choose now, while it's not a crisis, only a pain. Terrance,Answer to question one.

News from God?True you are an Aperture god, but still.;-)I tried to find the glitches in El Capitan by searching the forum, but I am having a hard time finding them for some reason (I am still on Yosemite). As I recall, they included a:- minor “Dodge and Burn” shift (1 pixel)- upside down previews in list view- Crop not applied on exportDon’t recall and can’t find the others issues.
Is the last one even a “thing” (crop)? I thought some people had it, but others didn’t.Anything else in Sierra and El Capitan?David. Apple Footer.This site contains user submitted content, comments and opinions and is for informational purposes only.

The Batch feature in Photoshop CS6 enables you to apply an action to a group of files. Suppose you want to make changes to a series of files. That might take a while if you do it individually. If you want to keep your original file, too, you have to remember to save each file in a new folder. Batch processing can automate tedious chores for you.
To try this useful tool, copy some files (at least five or six) to a new folder and follow these steps:
