A message from Apple:

![Apple reminds users that Aperture is going away](https://i1.wp.com/www.onemanandhisblog.com/content/images/2015/03/aperture-rip.png?resize=960%2C711)

I am not looking forward to this. Aperture has been central to my photographic workflow for years now, and one way or another I’m going to have to learn a new way of working with images. I’m waiting to see how good Photos proves to be – and how fast it improves – before I stop using Aperture.

If the answers are “not good enough” and “not fast enough”, I may have to buckle down and learn Lightroom. We’ll see.

[The Photos beta](http://www.theverge.com/2015/3/2/8134733/apple-releases-osx-beta-photos?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) is promising – but at a pretty early stage still.
