Apple to cease development of Aperture:
Apple has announced that it is ceasing development of its Aperture photo editing application. The company will instead be focusing on the upcoming Photos for OS X software, which will be included in the next version of Mac OS X (Yosemite). Apple will ensure compatibility with the next version of OS X and will allow you to import your Aperture library into the new Photos app. This certainly bodes well for Adobe, since even more Aperture will be defecting to Lightroom.

I’ve been using Aperture to manage my scanned photo library. I like its ability to easily link different versions of photos (the scan and files for various print versions, for example), and the software I had been using before was eaten by Microsoft and then killed. I guess I’ll be moving to Lightroom now.
