Adobe trying to beat Apple to their Aperture 4 announcement.
Isn't this bad timing for an Adobe announcement?
Is Aperture 4 re-designed by Jony Ive coming tomorrow?
Got a tip for us?

I love Photoshop, but is it just me, or is CS6 a slow dog running on a computer that can run CS5 just fine?
They're not similar programs. Lightroom and Aperture are comparable because they're both digital asset management and raw workflow programs.
Pixelmator is an image editor and would be more compared to something like Photoshop or Gimp.
Aperture is more about processing and cataloging the camera raw files from your memory card and adjusting white balance, sharpening, light retouching, etc.
Yes you would lose everything. They're different libraries so you would need to redo everything unless there is some magic way out there I haven't heard of that lets you convert them.

iCloud and iTunes Match a Developer Tool? Announced at WWDC 2011
Nope, it will be on shelves, and for download as a direct purchase.
Why? Because it actually has competition, unlike the rest of the Adobe suite. Adobe knows well enough that if they went with CC for Lightroom right now, everyone would dump it.

But it's pretty good if you skilled LR4..
Will be nice to get updated to 5. But seriously Adobe you need to work on those videos? It for photographers ... we can be trendy and even girls! The video really aim for the tech-sawy-guys
Well will be great to get it....
AND CANT WAIT FOR WWDC - COMEON APPLE

Check and mate, Apple. it's embarrassing that Aperture hasn't had a decent update while competitors are running circles around it.
We get it, iOS, iPads, iPhones, "Angry Birds", games, Facebook and Twitter are your bread and butter focus. Yet you once made great displays, powerful and current tech, and a great, stable OS. I'm not buying this post-PC era ****, try real work on a tablet. At most, they're entertainment devices and extensions for desktop systems. Market over-saturation and breaking into the Chinese market aren't doing well for that stock, and you lost the business/pro sect that supported you through your tough years. With Adobe releasing subscription apps, now's the time to get some of that market back, it adds up when businesses invest tens or hundreds of thousands at a time in upgrades.
Bring back the Mac!

There is more than just the healing brush worthwhile the upgrade.

And yet you still have to round trip to Photoshop* for actual layers functionality, protecting the Ps franchise.
* And all the baggage that requires.

This sounds great, but I'd rather stick with Aperture if possible. Here is hoping Apple has some nice tricks up their sleeve.
Apple hasn't produced a major update aside from RAW support and Facebook integration in a pro-App in a long time. Before anyone claims it helps Professional Photographers, it really doesn't. People "like" your page, and most of us are asked for "trades" or free shoots. The best business marketing is the old school way, word of mouth and [actual] advertising.
Facebook is a social network, you'd be better with LinkedIn, and that's not stating much.

Adobe has a great professional photo editing suite, Aperture is a good conduit but lacks the features in Photoshop. Apple should either make Aperture more useful by adding full editing features or producing a pro photography editing app.

No - it is included in the CC, but is also available as a stand-alone...but probably not for long.
iRadio may be part of iOS 7, so that's different. There's an OS focus, not a creative app focus.
Same with iCloud and iTunes Match.Is iRadio a Developer Tool? Announcement tomorrow

Please stop now.
They're both spot on. WWDC is for developers, at least, was until Apple began announcing consumer related "features". Apple used to hold special events for iTunes and iPod updates with bands such as U2 and Coldplay. Now they've just thrown it into WWDC, probably trying to get consumers interested in development. Still doesn't relate to those of us who develop.
I was implying that I couldn't care less about non apple related stuff on macrumors.
Surely the pros already knew about this from other sources.
