Apple Kills Aperture, Says New Photos App Will Replace It

mpicpp (3454017) writes Apple told news website The Loop that it has decided to abandon Aperture, its professional photo-editing software application. "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," Apple said in a statement to The Loop. "When Photos for OS X ships next year, users will be able to migrate their existing Aperture libraries to Photos for OS." The new Photos app, which will debut with OS X Yosemite when it launches this fall, will also replace iPhoto. It promises to be more intuitive and user friendly, but as such, likely not as full featured as what Aperture currently offers.

If you had actually posted the sources _you_ have read. then your request would be fair. right now you are just as misinforming as the parent. (or you could have asked for sources without claiming to have read different- but calling for sources by saying you read something different without providing the link(s) is plain insulting)
