It’s Time to Migrate from Aperture

We knew this time was coming, and now it’s upon us.

Why You Shouldn’t Store Photos for OS X Libraries on Dropbox

Dropbox is now as much a part of my work experience as my Mac, so naturally it would be great to put a Photos for OS X library into a Dropbox folder to create an off-site backup that I wouldn’t have to think about. However, that’s a bad idea. Brian Webster at Fat Cat Software ...

New Article: MyPhotostream Review at TidBITS

Over the weekend I published a short review of MyPhotostream at TidBITS, a simple application on the Mac that lets you view your iCloud Photo Stream photos without having to open iPhoto or Aperture (the only official methods for viewing them on a Mac).
