Replacing it - and iPhoto, too - is the forthcoming Photos application for OS X, which Apple teased with a brief demo at the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in June. Now, its light is close to winking out: Apple announced last week that it will soon halt development of Aperture. Although Adobe Photoshop Lightroom long ago dominated the market, Aperture has held on in development limbo - working fine (but sludgy, in my experience) for those who use it, but not updated in any meaningful way. It’s one of the best times of the day to capture photos, but the good light too soon rolls over into darkness.Īpple’s professional photo-management application, Aperture, has enjoyed an extended golden hour. In photography, the “golden hour” is that slice of time just before and after sunset when the sun is low in the sky and the light is often bronze-hued and dramatic.
