![]() Thanks for all your efforts and vision to help us Aperture users. Now if only Phase One could give me a better print module… □ It’s actually speeding up my volume work. As C1 gets more powerful and solves more processing requirements, I feel less inclined to reach for the comfortable but old Ps part of the workflow. But I know longer need the current version and there are a lot of other great tools that work cleanly with TIFF. I will likely always have a Ps subscription for the graphics side of what I do. Leaving PSD behind doesn’t solve my old work but a lot of this conversation is about moving forward. While I didn’t realize it at the time, moving to TIFF also set me free. I dived into TIFF and C1 improved greatly on its sometimes quirky TIFF support in v. Photography is about compromises and, while this is a big one, I figured there had to be a way to make this compromise work. I knew, despite my best efforts, I wasn’t going to convince myself to personally enjoy Lr so I decided to stick it out. I do a lot of volume work so the lack of PSD support threw me for a loop initially. And if Apple hadn’t discontinued Aperture, I may have never given Capture One Pro 9 the chance it deserves. Now that I’m using Capture One Pro for all of my work moving forward, I’m happy with the choice I made. ![]() Right now you can get a 35% off the ebook, paperback, and bundled versions of the product. All you need to do is visit the Rocky Nook website, add the product to the cart, go to checkout, and apply coupon code CPRO935.Īnd finally, have you attended any of the free webinars offered by the Capture One crew? If not, they’re really good, and very helpful. When you’re ready to dig in to actually navigate the application for organizing, editing, and output, you’re ready for the book, Capture One Pro 9, Mastering Raw Development, Image Processing, and Asset Management by Sascha Erni. I describe in detail how to set up your test library, then provide tips for making the transition. It’s written for both Aperture and Lightroom users, with specific sections for each. If this approach sounds reasonable to you, then I suggest you download my free eBook from Rocky Nook publishing, Rocky Nook’s Guide to Moving to Capture One Pro. Up the road you may need to restore failed hardware. ![]() Speaking of which, I do recommend keeping copies of both Aperture 3.4 and Mac OS X El Capitan on a backup drive. Most likely, I’ll freeze a computer at El Capitan, and keep it as an archive machine. When Aperture is no longer supported by the OS, then I’ll have some new decisions to make. ![]() So if I need an image from 2014, I open Aperture, find it, and export to my desktop. Everything else is staying in Aperture, at least for now.Įven though Apple has discontinued improvement of the app, it still runs just fine on Mac OS X El Capitan. My decision was to bring over specific projects that were still in progress, my 4 star images, and some shots that had personal meaning. Once you’ve refined the transition procedure, then all that’s left is to decide how much of your Aperture or Lightroom catalog to bring over. And you can modify your test library based on the findings from the previous attempts. You can work quickly from one iteration to another because the import of a small library takes virtually no time. It’s the nature of mapping one system to another.īy creating a test library that mirrors the characteristics of your Aperture library, but on a much smaller scale, you can make note of the bumps in the road, then try smooth them out. Nearly every email I receive from a photographer in distress during migration is because he was attempting to bring over his entire library or catalog in one pass, and something went wrong. It’s the best Aperture import tool that I’ve seen. There’s an excellent import tool in Capture One Pro 9 that makes it easy to bring master files, metadata, and even some image edits over from Aperture. Once I made the decision to start 2016 with Capture One Pro 9, there was the sticky business of figuring out how much of my Aperture library I’m willing to migrate to Capture One. I’m not knocking Adobe’s photo management app. But I do want to say that I’m thankful for a legitimate alternative to Lightroom. If you’re reading this, you probably don’t need me to sell you on Capture One Pro 9. My research and testing led me to Capture One. So when everything went boom, I felt obligated to find a suitable alternative for serious photographers. And I even had an entire section of my website,, dedicated to the application. I authored numerous Aperture trainings for. I was the founder of the InsideAperture website for O’Reilly Media. And not only did I have to find a new home for my photo library, I had to figure out how to help others do the same.Īfter all, I’ve led so many to Aperture in years past. I was one of those Aperture users who was set adrift by Apple.
