I hope they have sped up the RAW processing engine as that was not very rapid.

yes they certainly seem to have ,i loaded a few hundred shots last night ,and the conversion time from a jpeg display to a editable raw file was a couple of seconds per picture .i don't have time to play with it fully before i go away but it certainly seems better and as a free upgrade (i already had aperture 3 ) it seems as smooth as silk

I have had a chance to play around with the upgrade for awhile now and it does have some very nice new features.

It took awhile for the download and then the updating of all my pics but seems well worthwhile and it was free which is nice.

Aperture v3.3 only works on OSX Lion. Looks like I am being forced to upgrade.

Only if you insist on 3.3, Nothing wong with Lion. Except you will need a ton of other updates to go with it.

:seesaw:

Just take one Mac to Lion to dip your toe in? It's been very stable for me.

I still have one on SL, on a separate partition. If you have enough space on the built in drive you can partition on the fly while running live. I even have the MBP which I am using here with Lion on one partition and ML on the other.

I would double read that Tom, I think that Apple mean iPhoto and Aperture share the same Library and there is no need to import to both. You can use iPhoto as a viewer and Aperture to adjust the same images.

The requirement to import the images is one of the major issues I see with Aperture. However, I haven't read the small print yet, that is only my impression from what I have read so far.

I recently spent 2 very long days extracting the images from a large iPhoto Library, because it wouldn't export them en masse between versions from one old iMac to a new one. I am not a lover of proprietary library formats!

You are correct, Robert. I started familiarizing myself with it today and it is only iphoto that doesn't require import...sigh

The easiest way to import to Aperture would seem to be to drag a folder of images onto the Aperture icon.

At £55 it may be a little while before I download Aperture just to satisfy my curiosity. There no longer seems to be a 30 day free trial.
