Both iPhoto and Aperture were until relatively recently the two applications par excellence in relation to photography aimed at the average and professional user respectively, stopped updating in spring 2015 when the Photos application was launched with OS X Yosemite version 10.10.3, although this has not meant that they are not still used by many users who had installed them on their Macs.
Although they are no longer available to download through the Mac App Store, you can still download them again if you downloaded them before they were withdrawn Thanks to the "Purchased" tab within the App Store itself, however now comes "bad news" for those of you who have used the photo printing service through these applications at some time, both occasionally and regularly.
In general the two tools they no longer receive any kind of update but also now it comes to us the news that on March 31 This year the support for printing photos will end through these applications, through which you could order both calendars, panoramic photos or greeting cards. In addition to this, you will also lose the ability to sort the photo albums, collages and other content created within the two applications.
As is being pointed out in the Apple support forums, iPhoto and Aperture are notifying clients of this circumstance asking for albums or prints, of the imminent interruption of the service. Apple employees have also begun to inform customers that this printing service will no longer be available, although Apple still seems to have not made an official statement on the matter with a corroborating document.
In any case, both albums, cards, calendars or prints in general can continue to be created. using the Photos app for OS X that replaces the previous two.
What a chore, for me, it's a mistake.
