I really miss a histogram with black and white point setting that’s a key part of my workflow, given scanners don’t always give a full range of tones (I’m a hybrid film shooter). I’m not too sure about the image processing of Luminar yet, either. I definitely need star ratings, as I use these a LOT as part of my editing (selection) process. I have bought Luminar 2018, but not yet taken the free upgrade to Luminar 3 with Libraries… soon, after post Xmas settles down! But yes, it seems that it won’t meet my needs just yet. Others please pipe in if I have anything wrong or missed anything! My intent is to be assured of full access to all images even with the next OS Mojave and beyond. I have not yet done a full import of all my Aperture libraries (30+K images) but will start doing it incrementally in the coming month. I have already tested and confirmed that my NIK Suite (DoX’s paid resurrection of Google’s abandoned free version) plays well with CO Pro 11 as do test files imported into CO Pro 11 from Aperture. I am now using both Aperture 3.6 and Capture One Pro 11. IMPORTANT: Back up you iMac hard drive as a bootable copy to a separate hard drive before upgrading to High Sierra. If your Aperture library is referenced on a separate hard drive, unmount it (as well as any other connected drives) before upgrading. It should be, but check with the Apple website first to be sure since some are not. Make sure your iMac is compatible with High Sierra. Have you upgraded? Let us know in the comments if you have, and your experience with Aperture - good or bad! Level: Beginner App: Apple Aperture Platform: macOS Author: PhotoJosephīased on my reported experience (see first post above) and others that followed you should be OK upgrading to High Sierra. ![]() This is great news! I personally have not yet upgraded to macOS High Sierra (although I really need to), so unfortunately I don't have firsthand experience to report. I heard that somebody has had some problem with full screen view, but not in my case. ![]() He did go on to report a problem he'd heard of, but says that it hasn't affected him. ![]() I work with Aperture libraries as usual, and external editors (Photoshop CS6) and plugins too (Nik software). So far I’ve not encountered any problems. Hardware is MacBookPro 15” early 2013 (16Gb RAM, 500 Gb SSD hard disk, Intel Core i7 2.7 GHz). Now it's running under High Sierra (macOS 10.13) without issues or bugs. I'm a professional photographer that still uses Aperture (version 3.6). For anyone out there still using Aperture, we have a report from reader Jordi Ferrando that Aperture is working just fine for him under macOS High Sierra.
