Joseph,
I looked at Aperture last night and thought it looked impressive.
Loads of features, looks easy enough to use but I think the price is
way over the top considering you can get Capture One LE (a smaller
program, I realize) for $99.00. I hope they come out with an LE
version of Aperture one day because I'd spend the money just to play
around with it.

Dear colleagues:
Has anyone already looked at the new announcement by Apple of its new
"Aperture" software for RAW image manipulation and workflow ?
Judging from information on Apple's web site it seems to be quite
complete
and filled with advanced features similar to those found in similar
software.
Apparently Apple is interested in offering its own alternative to
Adobe
Camera Raw/Photoshop CS2, Capture One Pro, RawShooter (only
available for
Windows) and SilverFast DCPro Studio.
I have recently upgraded from Creative Suite 1 to Creative Suite 2.
Although
I have read some negative comments on CS2, I have so far enjoyed the
upgrade. Bridge is definitely a great improvement over the File
Browser
available in CS1. It is a little slower, but on the other it runs
as a stand
alone application which is something I see as a benefit. It also
offers
several functions and viewing options that were not offered by File
Browser.
Camera Raw also adds some improvements and I have learned to enjoy
working
with its tools.
Please take a look at Apple's new "Aperture" software and let me
know what
you think about its features and how it compares to the other existing
software (avoiding being biased to software you already own).

Thank you in advance for your help.
