It seemed to do exactly what I wanted, but after putting my whole image catalog into it (and adding more every week) I discovered that PhSu really slowed down as the image count increased. I tried a number of products and initially settled on Photo Supreme.

The only way to do it was to output to TIFFs, but then again if I wanted to make a small change I had to start over with the RAW file.īasing a DAM on the OS X file system and image metadata, plus a common image format, seemed to be the way to go. In Aperture, for instance, all the non-destructive work I’d put into developing my images was lost going to any other application. I wanted an “open source” solution, one which wasn’t tied to any particular app. So, I went looking for a suitable replacement.Īs I looked, I decided that I never wanted to go through this again. 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.
