Advertisement Photos for OS X has finally arrived, replacing the dusty and worn-out iPhoto with an image management application that Mac users will actually want to use — but is there enough here to satisfy Aperture users? Last year Apple announced that they would be discontinuing iPhoto and its more powerful cousin Aperture, and replace them with a revamped photo program that better fits a climate of iPhones and iCloud. Though the replacement app shares nearly all the features of iPhoto, Photos is more streamlined, cleaner, and faster. In short, there’s a lot of reasons to upgrade OS X and admire Apple’s hard work. Downloading Photos Photos is a free upgrade as part of OS X Yosemite’s 10.10.3 upgrade, available through the App Store application. The upgrade requires OS X v10.6.8 or later, 2GB of memory, and at least 8GB of available storage. For more information about upgrading from previous versions of OS X and other requirements, check. From iPhoto/Aperture to Photos If you only have one library installed on your Mac machine, launching Photos for the first time, you get the opportunity to copy your current iPhoto or Aperture library over to Photos. This process will migrate (copy) all your photos, including metadata, albums, album structures and projects to a new Photos library. Depending upon the size of your original photo library, this process can take a significant amount of time.
