Wrong.
Not more than 45 minutes ago my boss asked me "Do you have a photo of (lawyer x) with our CEO?"
Now, I tag what I can, but I don't have every single person in my database labled, you know? I've got 6 years of corprate events in my computer, it's not like I remember all the events this lawyer came to. It sure would be nice to have a chance for the computer to help me out with that search.
So please give me a break. I hate the f***'n "that's not professional" attitude. Guess what, if it's a tool and I can find a use for it at work, it's professional!
It doesn't actually say that. This is under the Recommended section : "Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor". Any of the listed Intel Macs, including those with CoreDuo (32-bit) CPUs will run it. It will only run in 64-bit mode in 64-bit Macs (obviously).
Please check your facts before posting.
Anyone know if the new version is going to be available at retail Apple stores today? I'd rather go buy in person because I can fake that I'm still a college student and get a discount
Just tried to call the Apple store on Regent Street here in London but gave up after 15 minutes. I'm hoping they do, and if so I will pick up a copy today!!
I stand corrected on the 64bit... but....
With the exception of layering, and type... Aperture is indeed in the same league as pshop, and in many ways the far superior beast. I use Aperture professionally and work on tens of thousands of images each year. Aperture2 blows the doors off photoshop in many ways, and is FAR easier to learn and actually start being productive than photoshop. For over a year now 90% of all of my imaging takes place within Aperture, and I can get better results in a lot faster time frame. Batch editing can be done with a few clicks. Extensibility and integration with Nikon's NIK suite has sealed the deal (which pshop also has).
Photoshop has experienced a frightening feature bloat, and an even more frightening cost bloat as well. With each new iteration the number of usable improvements is usually slight (and I have been a LONG time user, and have used pshop since the 1.0 version).

Check out Nikon's NIK suite of plug-ins. Amazing, amazing stuff! I use them every day...
Text and layers (and CMYK conversion) are the ONLY things I do in pshop anymore. Pshop is the best tool for those things still...
The minimum is an Intel proc. The recommended is a Core 2 Duo. Also, C2D's are not 64-bit only and Aperture 3 is not 64-bit only either.
What is considered a huge library? Our family does point and shoot and have about 5k - 6k photos. Is this considered large or would Aperture even help me? It's currently managed using iPhoto 09 which seems to lag a bit.
Trial
Anyone else filled in the trial request 30 minutes ago and not got an email with a download link on it?

You can do it online and still get the college discount...you just need to know the zip code of a university...try 16802
Potential Photoshop Option?
Having never used Aperture... do those that have foresee a time when apple might position Aperture as a Photoshop option/replacement?

sigh... It's sad to read this. Only at Apple will new features be implemented in consumer products before the pro-line. A full year even!!
Not to mention that Faces sounds rather pointless to me for Aperture. Hardly something the pro users have been pining for.
Oh well.. atleast it's 64-bit.
You seem to be the perfect troll. Basically you are complaining about Apple not introducing a feature that you didn't care about. LOL
Kinda, http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/ says you can use a tethered Nikon or canon. That's actually in version 2 aswell I believe. I've never used this feature of aperture always used the Nikon software.
No **** really? Leave that bunk ass **** to iPhoto.
Some ******* will say that Aperture is better because it has faces.

About f&$@k time!
As digital files get bigger, Aperture 2 can't keep up. Ive been waiting for this update for too long

No - the software focus if different from Photoshop. The closest comparison to Aperture from Adobe is Lightroom. Photoshop is in a league of it's own and is intended to do different things. Aperture is Photo post production - not high end editing and creation.
