Hi Robert
Both are still shown in launchpad and both seem to work although they seem different
I will spend some time with them later.
I see what you mean Robert, I have calmed down since first look and maybe it can stay, I will give IT some more time

I think a lot of people become attached to the interface, it's kind of comforting having something familiar but to be honest, having used every new OS since about OS2, which was on one floppy; to OS7 which was on 12 floppies then to CD for OS8 then DVD's, finally downloads, When I go back a few versions as I do occasionally, I have one iBook (the computer not the e-Book!!!) on OS 9 and another on OS 6 and an elderly PPC iMac, it's like a time warp, of course I can find my way around but it seems so primitive, almost 'stone age' by comparison with todays OS's, yet in their day they were state of the art.
I am sure that will be the case in a fey years time when we are all using tablets! LOL
As for the photo software, Aperture will continue to work just as it does today but Apple will probably withdraw support gradually and eventually after a couple of major OS updates will remove OS compatibility. iPhoto on the other hand will likely be replaced with the new free Photos software at the next iPhoto update, although there may be a small 'pre' update to prepare the iPhoto data prior to the change-over proper.
That is purely my opinion for what it's worth, based on what has happened in the past when Apple have consolidated their software
I can't speak for Aperture but I had a brief look at iPhoto this evening and I didn't see any significant change, although I rarely visit iPhoto so I'm not an expert, my friend uses it quite a bit and he didn't mention any differences. I did look at the possibility of putting his photo collection in the cloud drive, but almost 70 Gb of Jpegs won't fit too well into 5 Gb of space!
