Now if they'd just update coreimage so the RAW conversion was worth a damn. I've been a legal, registered owner since 1.0 but it's getting really hard to justify using it as they get further and further behind.
updated aperture on Tiger and things are working much faster. don't care much about compatibility with iphoto, iLife, etc, just love that speed! I wonder if it will work even faster in Leopard. My academic copy arrives Monday.
I threw an update on my post yesterday with the fix I had.. It's buried though, so no worries.
I re-installed Aperture from the packaged CDs that came per my earlier order. I didn't do that in the past; I just entered the registration key via the trial version I downloaded.
After doing that the downloaded upgrade worked. Be sure to take a look around though. I think the install from CD put a new copy out there; it didn't replace the original. I had a little cleanup to do.
