Workflow Management . . . Not a Photoshop Replacement . . .

Aperture does not, nor did Apple advertise it to, be a replacement for Photoshop!Photoshop is the Emporor God of Pixel-oriented image editors (with a bit of object-oriented graphics thrown in).Giving the program a negative review for it not replacing Photoshop makes about as much sense as giving it a negative review for it not being a sports car!That being said, as a photographer, I end up opening all of my Canon Mark II ds17 megabyte files in Photoshop to do minor tweeks and adjustments.You have...

Good fast organizer, weak on editing, overpriced

I have been using Apple Aperture for a little bit, now -- still getting used to the interface and learning about it. It is installed on my PowerBook G4 with 17" screen, 2 Gb memory.It seems to run fast enough, even before I installed the 1.01 update. I suspect that those who have been complaining about how slow it is have too little memory installed. You should have at least 1 Gb RAM. Flipping through raw files was instantaneous. It does take a long time to import a file; about half again as long...

Extremely disappointing

Aperture is a product with tremendous potential, but its current form disappoints on almost every level.Right now, Aperture is iPhoto with delusions of grandeur - it is not suitable for a professional workflow for many reasons:-files are locked away in a library which other workflow applications cannot access-raw conversions are of low quality-integrates very poorly with photoshop,-offers limited design/printing/layout functionality,-does not support industry-standard ITPC metadata,-offers no offline...

Aperture Initial Thoughts

If you buy this program, do yourself a favor and concentrate on what it DOES do, and not what it doesn't do.It's NOT a Photoshop replacement. It's not even fair to compare it with Photoshop. Photoshop is a pixel editor. Photoshop isn't designed JUST for photographers. Aperture ISN'T a pixel editor. It WAS BUILT FROM THE GROUND up for photographers.It's a workflow/image management solution.You can replace Portfolio or iViewMultimedia Pro with Aperture and find yourself with the bonus of being able...

Poor performance and missing key features

Do yourself a favor and wait on this one. Perhaps when they release version 1.5 or 2.0 it will be better, but right now Aperture is bloated and painfully slow. Worse yet, its output quality is bad compared to existing tools like Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Camera Raw, making it pretty much unuseable for any 'real' work....
