However, it feels like someone would step in and fill the void.
That feels disloyal given all of the marketing hype they have produced over the years, but it’s the direction they have chosen to take.
ALTERNATE TO NEOFINDER 7 SOFTWARE
If I am interpreting things correctly then the changes from Aperture to Photos and Lightroom Desktop to Lightroom CC reflect companies who want to make software for non-technical users who don’t want or need powerful tools for digital asset management or editing. He keeps things organized in folders and edits individual photos using a variety of tools. I asked him what he uses and he replied “The file system on my computer”. My father in law is also a serious amateur. Reading the tea leaves on the new Lightroom CC (the second most confusing product naming ever, second only to the iPad model names), and reflecting on how Apple pulled the plug on Aperture, I wonder how long Lightroom Desktop (Classic, CC, whatever name you prefer) will be around. This is photography software made for people who enjoy fighting with their computer instead of, you know, experiencing photography. I have now documented an extensive list of bugs that I have to continuously work around. It’s hard for me to find anything that it does well. Video playback works properly only a small percentage of the time more often the video fails to play or does so with severe audio problems that have nothing to do with the source file (which plays just fine in QuickTime and other tools).

Memory usage and speed are horrendous - even on a new Mac with the maximum amount of memory possible it can take close to a minute to switch modules. It doesn’t reliably identify duplicates, even for photos that it just imported! The interface is unnecessarily intricate (to change capture day/time you MUST click on the date, not the time) and the workflow is absurdly rigid (I can’t edit a photo in my Library without switching to the Develop module? I can’t use grid view in the Develop module? I can trim video clips in the Library module but I can’t even view them in the Develop module? #inconsistent #nonsensical). It doesn’t seem to understand the day or time photos or videos were captured (about 50% of the time it uses today’s date as the capture time). For example: It doesn’t seem to understand which way is up (all of my photos and videos are randomly rotated, even for shots taken in a burst with virtually no change in camera orientation other programs including Preview on OS X have no problem understanding photo orientation). I’ve given it a solid try over the past year and have now started calling it Bugroom.

Those Phase One guys seem to be a pretty small company and I guess they threw all their resources into C1 Pro development recently. You may want to look at Media Pro (from Phase One), which advertises itself as a solution for large libraries (but even that has a limit of 128.000 images per catalog!):īut here is a similar problem in terms of a lack of development over recent years.

Photo Mechanic’s website has not seen an update in ages, they still claim to developing a SQL backend for it. Even Mylio has on their most expensive plan a limit of ”up to 500.000 images”.
With an image collection that large I think you are actually out of luck in terms of alternatives. It did not actually affect performance no matter how many images you threw into it (from my experience). From my experience the one tool out there which had the best scaleability was indeed Aperture. It’s database is the bare minimum in terms of functionality and performance. If LR can not handle a giant collection of photos, then neither does C1. 3) Easy migration!!!!!! no more migration headache!!!! switching from Affinity Photo to Photoshop CC or another editor is super easy!!! Here's the advantage of using the OS X Finder and Affinity Photo: 1) less work!!! 2) a lot more editing capabilities. As an photo editor, Affinity Photo can do a lot more than Lightroom and Capture One Pro combined!!!Īperture is the first and last dam for me. Would you believe I find it easer and faster to manage my digital asset in the Finder and edit in Affinity Photo? The fact is this: Affinity Photo adjustments are non-destructive and all edits can be made non-destructive. With tools like Lightroom and Capture One Pro, the user needs to manage their asset in Finder in addition to managing the same asset in these apps.
Unfortunately, all of the Aperture alternatives are very weak dams, that it takes more work to manage my assets than not having a dam such as Lightroom and Capture One Pro. When i migrated to Aperture, the dam aspect of Aperture was so good, it added a lot of value for me. Once upon a time, I used to manage my digital asset in the Finder and edited in Photoshop CS. Anyone thinking of migrating away from using dams?
