Any body know if you can install Aperture on an Intel Imac? I know there will be a universal upgrade next month sometime but was wondering if it can be installed and used with Roseta in the mean time.

If anybody has installed it on the Intel, is it usable or does it craw?
 
I would think it would be pretty unusable, but that's just me.

I don't know how well Rosetta translates instructions for Core Image.
 
Wait for the Universal Binary. AFAIK, it won't run at all. If it does, it won't run anywhere near as fast as the UB version.

It's coming soon. :)

I found my answer. I guess I should have looked closer before posting.

From Apples web site:
"Not supported on Intel-based Mac computers with Rosetta; a Universal version to be available before the end of March 2006"

I wonder how you you upgrade to the universal via update if you can't install it.

You swap discs with them. It's not a software update deal AFAIK.

I thought you have to pay $40 exchange fee, I'm assuming you pay that once and then you can change over the pro apps.

Apple Web site"

"A Universal version of Aperture, which will run natively on both PowerPC- and Intel-based Mac computers, will be available before the end of March 2006. New and existing owners of Aperture will be able to crossgrade to the Universal version at no additional charge via Software Update."

Right you are! my mistake!
 
I took the plunge and bought Aperture yesterday. I have it running on my laptop for now until the universal binary comes out (hopefully soon). I figured I could play on the laptop to learn how to use it. I am surprised how well it runs on the 1.5 ghz G4. It should do great on the 2 ghz dual core iMac.
