Apple Launches Aperture 2

Aperture 2 gives photographers incredible tools to manage massive libraries, speed through photo edits, make essential image adjustments, and deliver photos online and in print using one simple, integrated workflow. Whether you shoot RAW or JPEG, Aperture lets you get the most out of your photography. 

I really love Aperture. I am currently using version 1.5 and it is pretty amzing for what I use it for. I am a the essence of and amerture photographer and a bit of a Apple geek. I have never used Adobe Lightroom so I don’t know what I am missing. Aperture does everything I need it too and it does it simply and pretty quick (given the machines its working on)So whats new in Aperture 2. Apple boast 100 new features. I have yet to play with it but after reading Apple’s page it seems like it improves on the stuff that I don’t like in 1.5. The interface is redesign and looks much more fluid from the screen shots. It seems to utilize every bit of your screeen real estate which is crucial when working with photographs. The also claim it is much more snappier. I am curious of the bench mark test that will be run and how much quicker it is. Finally the biggest feature many people are praising Apple for adding is the $199 price tag. This makes this very appealing to amature photographers as well as the power users of point and shoot cameras. Once again Apple makes a great program and completely outdoes itself in its second version.
