Aperture 2.1.4 is what I was using, and it is being replaced by Apple Photos next year I understand.   What is my cheapest option for accessing my Aperture library while I wait for the replacement?

    If you Google for "aperture yosemite", you can see Adobe's been spending their adwords wisely. The following page suggests there's an update for version 3 for Yosemite compatibility:

    I'm guessing you're asking what's the cheapest non-Adobe option comparing with Lightroom + Photoshop for $10/month. Capture One Pro isn't very cheap but is an alternative that will let you import your Aperture library:

    You could get the Aperture 3 upgrade:

    then try the Yosemite patch but it's going to be discontinued anyway so you may as well put the money into an alternative.

    Or you could just wait for Apple Photos, since it's going to import your Aperture library, and offer many of the same features of Aperture.
