Probably the last update before Aperture 3

No mention of Snow Leopard. But I wonder if it there isn't some tweaking for 10.6 tomorrow.

from 2.1.4 to 3.0? that sounds illogical?

Is it? All the other pro software have moved up a version recently

 

[CPPhoto]

still no sRAW support.

 

[CrackedButter]

Apple give me Aperture 3!

 

[TMay]

still no sRAW support.

Apple's RAW support resides in the system, so Aperture won't have it if the system doesn't. You might get lucky and see it in Snow Leopard tomorrow.

Aperture 2.1.3 is crash prone in Snow Leopard, so I am sure it is "tweaked" to not crash.

 

[Grimace]

Aperture went from 1.0 to 1.5 as a major release. Then 2.0. There is enough new technology out there to make a legitimate 3.0 upgrade and charge $199 for it.

Just do it Apple. I'm ready and willing.

You know what would be really nice? Aperture 3 update for $30...or free!!

 

[Aetles]

Nice, Apple have finally fixed the import duplicate bug that they introduced with the 2.1.3 update four month ago. This was really annoying.

 

[bikertwin]

Any rumors on when 3.0 might come out, or what it might have other than copied iPhoto features (faces & places)?

 

[wheelhot]

Yup, lets hope Aperture 3 is coming very soon. I hope there will be layers, selective editing and non-destructive editing plugins Oh and most important faster!

from 2.1.4 to 3.0? that sounds illogical?

Just as illogical as Aperture 1.5.6 followed by Aperture 2.0 and Max OS X 10.5.6 followed by Mac OS X 10.6?

 

[sejanus]

i really like aperture and I'd happily pay through the nose for a 64bit version 3 that really was a lot better at using 8 cpu's and your video card as much as possible.

I really don't think that 2.x is getting the best out of my hardware.

What's up with the Aperture Team?

I've been waiting for almos one year for some Leica RAW support. They release 2.1.4 and at least in my environment, I continue to have issues with the back-up feature and with printing custom size books. I am wondering if they can release anything realistic and solid... Every day I wonder if betting in Aperture was the right decision...

 

[EarthDawn]

When 3.0 is out and I hear positive feedback with it & SL working together Ill pick it up.

 

[SystemZERO]

Is this not in Software Update? I don't see it... Must be all that Snow Leoparding over at Cupertino...

 

[mrmayor92]

Is this not in Software Update? I don't see it... Must be all that Snow Leoparding over at Cupertino...

Really you had problems with the backup feature? The backup features in aperture have saved me at least 2 times from totally losing all my files I love it! I have never ordered a book on aperture and never owned a Leica so I can't comment on the other things. Though if you ever wanted me to try I wouldin't mind borrowing your Leica lol

I also can't wait for aperture 3!
