In a brief statement, the company said that it will stop updating and developing the affordable professional photo-editing software when the next version of OSX — Apples desktop operating system — and its supporting apps are launched. 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. When Photos for OS X ships next year, users will be able to migrate their existing Aperture libraries to Photos for OS X. During its World Wide Developers Conference earlier this month, Apple focused heavily on photography and the need to offer consumers a new way of saving, sharing, sorting and editing images, and the statement suggests that what its got up its sleeve will offer some of the functionality that was built into Aperture.
