[Note, I'm responding to blog arguments below, rather than Apple's or
the eventual actuality of the product(s).]
Bugger that. It's precisely the statements of the diminishing of
Aperture's photographic features (within the Photo app), for a
purported synchronisation benefit (already available with iCloud's
Photo Stream, Flickr, Facebook, Smugmug,etc., within Aperture) that
annoys me with a couple of blog posts like this. Don't get me wrong, I
think I have an understanding of why Apple is doing it (binding
hardware closer together, and reducing multiple streams of software
development in iPhoto and Aperture), but the benefits *as stated* seem
somewhat hollow, or pre-existing, as if he got them from the horse's
mouth when he "received an official call from Apple PR".
I guess I mean that it's not my model. :)
And I kind of feel the argument in posts like that at the link is that
they're "upgrading" from an option that suits multiple models to a
"better" one-model-fits-most option (with a corollary of "and if you
don't like it you're doing it wrong"), with admittedly reduced
photographic features (at least initially). For my model, that seems
like it'll be a downgrade (at least initially). I'd rather be
upgrading to tools that work better (for me).

I do edit photos on my iPhone, usually using Snapseed (Nik Software -
now Google's). Generally they're iPhone photos, and used for the
immediacy of social media. When I went to Thailand I only took my
iPhone and have been pleased with what came of that, and from iPhone
processing. Though next time I think I'd like to take my 5DMkII and
24-105/4. :)

I got iPhoto for the iPhone & iPad. I don't like it, but then I don't
like iPhoto for the Mac - it feels too one-size-fits-all. Which might
be my fear with Apple's new Photos app.

I do like Snapseed. And I do like cranking dials to eleventy
sometimes, which Snapseed does with interesting results. Some ugly,
some I like. Most most others would not like, I guess. :)
Cheers,
Marc
