As I got more comfortable with those packages, I found I was only using the DAM functions in Aperture. DxO produced far better RAW development than Aperture ever did, and I got to the point that I could do more, faster, and with better results in Affinity Photo. I was having issues with it (most of which were caused by the Apple TIFF debacle) and knew it was living on borrowed time.Īt the same time, I had moved to using standalone apps for RAW development (DxOptics Pro) and image manipulation (Affinity Photo). While I loved the app (I was an early adopter, back in the days when it was several hundred dollars), as we all know it’s gotten long in the tooth.

A year or so ago I went on a quest to replace Aperture.
