And with it comes the sad news that the company’s “pro” photo-editing suite called Aperture will no longer receive updates. According to the Apple spokesperson that our source talked to, the decision to abandon Aperture is brought forth by the new Photos and iCloud apps pre-installed on the OS X 10.10, the former being the replacement to the iPhoto. In line with this, Apple will aid Aperture users in migrating their album/s from the now-defunct software to the new Photos app once Yosemite is released. This means that Mac users can still use Aperture even after upgrading to Yosemite, provided of course they can live without the updates. This is done by adjusting key photography elements whether in-camera (ISO and Shutter speed) or off-camera (Aperture). We’ll discuss each of these aspects as we go along, starting with Aperture.
