I don’t want to have to run an old OS and computer just to have access to my old Aperture files. I fret that I’ll not be able to move or integrate them into a new image management/editing system without loosing the editing or data that I have done to date.
I am also concerned about the archiving and continuing use of the images – original unedited and edited – that are housed within my Aperture libraries. I need to be able to do this within one app, or where exporting to an editor app is necessary, being able to return the edited versions to the image management app without changing the original or other previously edited versions. I need to be able to sort and organize the raw files and the edited versions. My biggest worry is that I’ll loose Aperture’s ability to keep my images organized – and only on my hard drives. Some of the above features could go into plugins instead of the core app – but the idea here is to build in more intelligent tools which allow users to get more out of their photos – effortlessly. * Some sort of batch editing support ( again, Pixelmator could auto suggest the photos in the batch based on photo similarity.) Pixelmator should automatically suggest HDR, panorama / super-resolution pictures by scanning through the Photos library or optionally a specified directory. Where Pixelmator could shine is in how user-friendly / intelligent it can make these tools. * Add in a robust image-alignment engine and use it for HDR, panorama, stack averaging based noise reduction, super resolution etc.

* More tools for fixing images – like superb noise reduction (although you would get this for free from PhotoKit), improved healing etc. I wish for Pixelmator to become a powerful yet easy to use image editor: At least casual photo management could benefit with a lot of automated sorting of photos - so this seems a bit big to roll into Pixelmator. Hopefully Photos will be good at managing photos 🙂 maybe it will be able to auto reject bad photos in a stack (based on over/under exposure, smile detection / blink detection, motion blur detection etc). Photo management should really be handled outside of Pixelmator – don’t make this a management + editing app, I’d just like to see Pixelmator come up with more advanced tools which are still user friendly. Next, if you have any suggestions for tools or features that you’re going to miss since Aperture and iPhotos are gone, write them down in the comments, or shoot us an email at We’ll be very happy to hear your thoughts. On top of that, Photos offers extensions, which means that developers like us can integrate some cool editing features and filters right into it. When I first saw Apple announce Photos during the Keynote, I thought, finally there’s a secure place to store photos and easily access them on all devices. While we might not be able to offer you a replacement app (at least right away), we want to do everything we can to help smooth the transition.įirst, we are going to fully embrace the new Photos app. We know that many of you are using those apps in combination with Pixelmator. Apple has announced that it is discontinuing Aperture and iPhoto development in favor of the Photos app with integrated iCloud Photo Library.
