#POWERPHOTOS COUPON CODE#

#POWERPHOTOS COUPON CODE#

I initially assumed I would just have a single command that would let you choose an iPhoto library and convert it, but in the process of writing and debugging this new code I wanted to be able to see what was going on so I could make sure PowerPhotos was reading everything correctly. You can use the Photos “Import” command to import the contents of the iPhoto/Aperture library, but this loses all the album organization, photo metadata, and edits that were performed in that library.Īfter receiving a number of support emails on the topic, one day it dawned on me that I already had code that could read the contents of iPhoto and Aperture libraries: iPhoto Library Manager! So, I dug up the library reading code from iPLM, got it compiling on the latest version of macOS and Apple Silicon, and wrote a layer that would translate the data from iPLM’s data model to PowerPhotos. Trying to migrate a library now just displays an error message saying you need to find a machine with macOS Monterey or earlier to perform the migration.

However, with the release of macOS 13 Ventura in 2022, Apple dropped support for this migration process. PowerPhotos included its own migration assistant that would help with migrating multiple libraries, but still left the process of migrating each library to the Photos app itself. I released PowerPhotos 2.3 today, which adds a feature that fills a hole for folks who have old iPhoto or Aperture libraries they want to bring over to Photos.Īpple released Photos as a replacement for iPhoto and Aperture back in 2015, and included a “migration” feature that would let people move their old iPhoto or Aperture library to Photos and preserve most of the library data such as album organization, photo metadata, and edits along with the photos themselves.
