[QUOTE="smb, post: 1596391, member: 316630"] I think Photos will be great for the audience that Apple seems to be targeting. It just seems that the pro and enthusiast photographer have been slowly abandoned by Apple. The Photo platform may be so different that by adding plug-ins etc all levels will be accommodated. We shall see. What concerns me most is that over the last ~two years and over the next 12-18 months many hard core Aperture users have/will drift away and find Lr (or whatever) acceptable and the community of support for Aperture will also fade away. Many blogs and Preset gurus are already closing down. Will they come back, that is the gamble that Apple is willing to take. But these supporters are in many ways the people that drive innovation. The Lr community is large, helpful and full of support/blogs/presets for the high end user. Once someone moves over, the inconveniences fade away and Apple may not get that person back. The critical mass for Apple shrinks and they may just slowly ignore the pros. You are right, competition fuels innovation; after all Aperture fueled the creation of Lightroom. Anyway, I am enjoying the challenge of learning Lr. [/QUOTE]
