A must have [Posted on 2008-12-03] This is a must have for anyone who enjoys the world of photography and enjoys fine-tuning their pictures. its much easier to use then i expected. I suggest you also purchase the book so you can follow along. THe difference after using aperture on my pictures is unbelievable.
Importing images has improved! [Posted on 2008-12-08] The importing of images is the best improved feature in my opinion! Being able to have it filter out previously imported images is very helpful. Also being able to change the date a picture was taken is helpful.
Excellent Product for the Price [Posted on 2008-12-20] I have been using Photoshop Elements 3 and this product is a huge improvement. I find the controls to be much more intuitive and Mac centric. The Light Table feature is very helpful for arraigning layouts and seeing what sequence of photos will look the best. I would recommend this product.
Very Pleased! [Posted on 2008-12-24] I went with Amazon because they had an amazing price compared to Apple. I'm really enjoying the program too!
Nice Interface but Performance Issues [Posted on 2008-12-26] The program is very easy to use and very powerful. It takes a lot fewer steps to post process files than in photoshop and I can process dozens or hundreds in a sitting and very rarely have to turn to photoshop because Aperature's own tools are powerful. The interface is elegant too. The problem is speed. I have a dual core 2.8ghz iMac which is well above the minimum spec for the program. Most of the time Aperature is very fast but sometimes it will grind to an absolute halt. It might take three minutes to load one image. The problem seems to be one that is getting worse as I add more and more pictures. When it goes down the whole system gets so unresponsive that I feel like i'm on a 1986 Mac Plus again.
