Product Description:

All-in-one post production tool that provides everything photographers need after the shoot. Aperture offers an advanced and incredibly fast RAW workflow that makes working with a camera's RAW images as easy as JPEG. Built from the ground up for pros, Aperture features powerful compare and select tools, nondestructive image processing, color managed printing and custom web and book publishing.

What's new in this version:

Choose how you’d like to store images: copy them into a managed Aperture Library or store them on hard drives, network volumes, or CD/DVDs and have Aperture import them in place, creating a “reference�? to their physical location while acquiring them for use in Aperture
Browse albums, Smart Albums, or your entire Aperture Library using the Media Browser in iLife ’06 and iWork ’06 applications
Generate industry-standard XMP sidecar files containing all metadata when exporting master images; or batch export metadata as a tab-delimited text file
Precisely adjust hue, saturation, and luminance on a color-by-color basis using the red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and magenta controls in the new Color tool
Hone sharpness with the new, luminance-based Edge Sharpen tool, which offers precise control and a three-pass algorithm
Create Metadata Presets to speed the assignment of any combination of metadata, eliminating errors and redundant typing
Use onscreen controls on the new Loupe to dial in magnification (100- to 1600%), select focus mode (follow Loupe or follow cursor), control Loupe size, and turn on/off display of Color values
Manage images (both copied and referenced) using new file-management tool for relocating and checking status of images in your Library

An Apple oversight - Version: 2.1.3, 4/15/2009 03:07PM PST

After downloading this update, doing a "Get Info" on the Aperture application still returns version 2.1.2 on my machine. But when I open the app, the splash screen shows 2.1.3.

Uncharacteristic oversight by Team Apple.

Oops, on a whim I decided to perform a "Quit Finder" and upon restarting the Finder I see "Get Info" now shows version 2.1.3. So the problem was on my end...late '08 MBP slow to update its database.

Thank you Apple... - Version: 2.1.2, 10/22/2008 12:44PM PST

I used both aperture and lightroom, IMHO aperture is the most professional and versatile app I ever used.
