Poor product - avoid if you wish to keep your sanity! Sadly I found this product to be a waste of money. Apart from being twice the price of other applications of its sort it suffers from having one of the most frustrating and illogical flaws I have ever come across - it will not allow you to name your master files when imported from a camera. This is the same flaw that exists with iPhoto too. Both programmes will let you call your files whatever you want - and in Aperture there are, as you'd expect, more way of doing it than in iPhoto.

Aperture 2 - there really is no competition!! I am a football and celebrity events photographer and can do anything up to 500 images a game/event.

A Worthy Upgrade to an Essential Photo Application I recently upgraded from the original Aperture (Ver. 1.2) to this new version (Ver. 2.1), and I am very happy with it. Image editing enhancements aside (there's many a tutorial and explanation on the Apple website), the major criticism I found with Aperture 1 was that it was a massive memory hog, mostly due to the program being designed for Power-PC architecture. This meant that when editing photos or loading up the program on my Intel-Macbook, the software was very 'heavy' and laggy at times.more info
