"With
the introduction of the new Photos app and iCloud Photo Library, enabling you
to safely store all of your photos in iCloud and access them from anywhere,
there will be no new development of Aperture," stated Apple in a statement
to The Loop.
According to
Apple, existing users should be able to port from Aperture to Photos app when
the company starts seeding the new OS X next year.
Apart from
Aperture, Apple's iPhoto service too will be discontinued. However, the company
has announced 'delayed termination' of the two popular legacy photography
services and it will happen only by next year.
The decision
to terminate Aperture is not much of a surprise to users as it has not received
significant updates of late. With Aperture being the primary choice of
professional photographers and image editors, it remains to be seen as to how
other similar softwares such as Adobe Premier Pro CC and Adobe Lightroom gain
from its retirement.
However,
Apple's iPhotos, which is also said to end its run, was regularly updated by
the company. Although the functionalities of iPhotos are being offered in the
new Photos app, it could disappoint a certain section of users as the
application was one among Apple's oldest features.
Apple has
stated that it would retain other multimedia editing applications such as Final
Cut Pro and Logic Pro .
