Hey everyone. It’s been a little crazy around here since Apple announced that they’re stopping future development for Aperture. As you can imagine, there’s a lot of Aperture users that are now looking to make the move to Lightroom. And since Lightroom is a huge part of my job, I had to jump on a few projects over the weekend and past few days. Anyway, just wanted to keep you posted and let you know about a couple of things in case you’re interested.
1. Scott and I did a live webcast yesterday on making the move from Aperture to Lightroom. We went over how to get your photos over from Aperture to Lightroom, as well as some of the editing similarities between the two. Here’s a link if you want to watch the re-broadcast (it’s totally free to watch right now).
2. If you are/were an Aperture user, I wrote a blog post over on my Lightroom blog called “10 Things Aperture Users Need to Know About Lightroom”. It goes over 10 key areas in Aperture and how they translate over to Lightroom.
Whew! It’s been a crazy couple of days, but as usual the dust always settles on this stuff. Thankfully Aperture will continue to work for any foreseeable future so you can just stay put if you’d like. And, just as thankfully, Lightroom has a great community of learning out there so if you did decide to make the switch, you’ll have plenty of resources to learn from.
Have a good one!
I love teaching and photography... In that order. I feel that enjoying photography, and photo editing can get WAY too complicated. So my personal mission (and favorite thing to do), is to create education that simplifies the process of taking great photos, and how to edit them to get the results you’ve always wanted.
So, I followed your videos. Photos go from iPhone to lightroom on computer and then sync to iPad. I edit them on iPad but they are Tiff files. Mobile doesn’t save tiffs. Also, if I have tiff photos on my camera roll , I can’t put them in mobile. And another, Tiff files won’t open in , in PS Touch. Is adobe planning to add Tiff files to Mobile. It is hard to understand,Adobe is so into raw files that they didn’t include them in Lightroom Mobile
I need to view the locked-in-camera files when importing. I used it extensively in Aperture and it saved me a bunch of time. Will Lightroom ever add that feature?
I never used Aperture, have been using LR for years now, but I am as sad as anyone. Aperture established the standard, and without it in the wild, I worry about less competition and less innovation. Apple simply being in the mix made others better. IMO.
Have a great 4th of July Weekend Matt.
