So Photos - still a huge disappointment for us that know that Apple
knows how to make a kickass photo management application. Bleh.

you're not its target market.

What market? Its target is every OSX user. It is free and an integrated
part of OSX. If you are an OSX user you are going to have it on your
computer even if you don't want it. Then you have to employ avoidance
tactics to stop it from intruding where it is not needed.

the target market is casual users who do not need the power and
capabilities of a pro-level product.

those who want something more capable can buy lightroom or something
else that better fits their needs.

expecting apple to include something on the level of lightroom or
aperture with every mac entirely for free is ludicrous.

The truth is, it is a huge disapointment given that Apple once had a
very good pro level application in Aperture and **** canned it. For
those of us who are LR users, we lucked out, now Photos is just an
irritation like a chronic rash.

aperture wasn't included with every mac.

apple killed aperture because it was a market failure. it should not be
a big surprise that a product that does not sell well is discontinued.

Aperture was a failure because it is so incredibly buggy. It's slower
than the RAW photo editor I use on my cellphone. It crashes every few
minutes. Preview and high quality renders are misaligned. Noise
reduction doesn't work. High ISO RAW produces strange hues. Some
combinations of adjustments produce garbage pixels. It's version-locked
to Mac OS.

The Adobe side of things is no better and their GUI looks like an X
Windows app straight out of 1989. I've been struggling with the horrid
workflow of Canon DPP simply because it renders accurately without
crashing. I'm going to buy some new photo software as soon as I get a
new Linux box.
