In PPS 9.5 it looks like I can still allocate up to 5 stars as in Aperture, can put my photos in folders and/or albums and best of all it looks like the Perfect Browse module will allow me to view all photos quickly and cull and separate the ones I want to immediately work on from the ones I don’t want. I’m hoping archiving such items and/or later moving them to referenced status will become part of a future Photos update. The thing I like about Photos is it easily allows me to share my photos with family and friends… and also gives me the ability to easily create books and slideshows. Using this DAM I can make backups of the entire photo file library or just individual folders of files more easily and without having to over-populate my Photos Library, or iCloud Photo Library. Within Perfect Photo Suite I can create albums and transfer edited files as albums as well. Later, I could then delete them from the Photos Libraries when I grew tired of them or had shown them to whomever it was I needed to show them to. I’ve done this with a few photos that I would deem ones that I would want in my Photos Library and the iCloud Photos Library. I would then be able to edit them as necessary in whichever of the other PPS 9.5 modules I wished (Effects, Layers, B/W etc) before… … …moving them to Photos from within PPS itself. I could do this in the Perfect Browse module. Next I could view and cull them more quickly through my stand alone photo editing program, Perfect Photo Suite 9.5.

It would also allow me to bring my photo files with me when on the road. This would provide me with the Finder like setup that would also allow me to search and more importantly view from the Finder itself, rather than within Photos. nef) files to a specific partition on an external 2 or 3 TB HD. Rather than trying to work my DAM within Photos like was possible with Aperture and could be possible through Lightroom (but which I’m trying to stay away from) I’m thinking of simply uploading my photos as RAW (Nikon. Having said that I also have been toying with a different approach… and one that Milo may find interesting and perhaps pertinent to his original question. However if a moderator, or Milo wishes me to continue this in a new thread I’ll oblige. I don’t want to hijack Milo’s thread here but thought it was a similar question so rather than open up a new thread have stuck with posting in this one. I presently have Yosemite on my MBPro and will be upgrading my iMac 27” to Yosemite as well… once I get the additional RAM installed. I’m thinking a powered external would be the one to get as the APExtreme probably wouldn’t be able to power it by itself?

I’d also then keep one of the backups of the Library on another old mac on the network. It would be nice to have SSD capabilities in the drive to make for quicker access but not so sure its affordable at this time! Then when I’m on the road I can simply take the HD with me and keep it up to date with travel photos etc, saving memory problems (mine, not the computers) by doing so. That may be the sticky part… being able to add to one library from various macs. I’m hoping that I can then access is from whichever computer I’m on, adding to the library from those same machines. In the meantime I’m going to pick up a 2 - 3 TB external USB drive that I can connect to my network through my Airport Extreme. I’m kinda banking on this being the v1 Photos that has the essentials and continues to grow as the needs are presented… in my case bringing in some better file management options similar to Aperture and Lightroom would be a great start. I’ve considered Lightroom too but don’t want to get tied into a subscription fee to Adobe.
