Apple Photo good alternative ?
Hello Community, I'm going crazy with the Photo App.
I bought a new Mac M1 to replace my old iMac mid 2012. On the old mac I always used iPhoto with the library on an external disk and NEVER had any kind of problem.
With the new Mac I was forced to switch to the new Photo App. I converted the catalog and it lost me hundreds of photos ! Total despair !
I took patience and re-created the library from scratch (albums, tags, faces etc...) Weeks of work to fix everything....
Once I restored the library, always saved to an external disk (I also replaced the disk with a slightly better performing one) the odyssey began. The Photo App often freezes and I have to force quit, in general is very slow, a real nightmare, it is practically unusable., the transition from faces to the map or individual albums takes minutes ... Unacceptable!
Once again I deleted the library and re-created a new one.... More weeks of work.
Nothing to do ! the new Photo App really sucks !!!
I tried Lightroom Classic hoping to be able to import the Photo library, but LRC only support the old iPhoto library.
At this point I would ask if you know of a GOOD alternative to Photo that can import Photo's catalog.
Thank you!
