SandmanI thought that was the 'fun' of betas, and why they call htem betas rathe rthan the final product, they might work as expected but the fact it's a beta means that it might not work for you or anyone else. Personally I wouldn't use a beta on ANYTHING I considered important.
So I installed the beta of the OSX Photos app, and opened my iPhoto/Aperture library with it, which worked just fine. Then I went into preferences to enable iCloud Photos, which was the entire point of OSX Photos. And this is what I see: <> Yeah, that's right, you can't used referenced photos if you want to sync with iCloud, you have to keep all photos inside the library, totally managed by Photos. Which of course is a problem, since Photos isn't a professional tool, and most of these photos need to be available to Lightroom. If I consolidate them into the library, my entire Lightroom catalog will crumble and die. It seems that this Photos thing is always on the edge of a good idea, but then a deal breaker comes along... :/ -- Sandman
