Earlier this month Apple published some support documents that referred to an iCloud.com-based Photos web app for managing a photo library. It was discovered that when the URL for the app was entered into the beta version of the iCloud site, it produced an error message rather than simply redirecting to the home page like any other invalid link.
Photos for Mac, on the other hand, is still said to be coming in early 2015. Even so, Adobe is already capitalizing on the upcoming discontinuation of iPhoto and Aperture and released a Lightroom importer for those apps yesterday. Users who have decided to stick with Apple’s first-party offering may have to wait until next year for a native OS X application, but hopefully this new web app will do a decent job of filling the gap for the time being.
Thanks Genady!
