Software Reviews of Apple Aperture 2.1.1
Customer Review: A photographer's workflow
Summary: 5 Stars
Using Aperture for awhile, I can see it is geared toward the pro photographer who wants to have their workflow in one program. It does a really good job targeting that traditional photographer market gone digital. The interface uses analogies for the different areas that a photographer feels comfortable with. You shoot, get it into Aperture, and then organize and process.
Photoshop is a competing product, not not really so. Its a complimentary product if you need to do photo work of a different sort, like photo illustration and retouching.
If you are a photographer first, and want an application that is going to get you organized and efficient, this is a great program. Other users can get by with Photoshop just fine.
Customer Review: Aperture 2.0 Rocks!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used Aperture since it's initial release. It won out over Adobe's product only because it became available first and I had a mighty need to organize my photos and work flow. My frustrations with the initial release of the Aperture 1.x series was non-intuitive menu items, viewing problems and sluggishness when downloading photos much less while running photoshop or some other memory hog. Aperture 2.0 is a pleasant surprise by a company that seems to listen to their customers. The menu items are much easier to understand and use and the performance on my Macbook Pro is not perfect but much much faster.Customer Review: way better than 1.5
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want more control than iphoto, but easy to use this app is great. Customer Review: Better than 1.0
Summary: 5 Stars
This runs far smoother than 1.0 and the updates. The browsing on my macbook pro feels more like it does for iphoto making the experience much more pleasurable. If you're an amatuer just stick to iphoto though for the most part the only thing i can think of that feels better with aperture 2.0 are the workflows and the presentation of work. All in all it's not much of an upgrade except performance improvements.Customer Review: Purchased on the Strength of Aperture 1.5
Summary: 5 Stars
I own the non-upgradable Aperture 1.5 Academic, so I had to buy the full version of Aperture 2. Other than this ridiculous and expensive policy, I am thoroughly pleased with Aperture. 1.5. Knowing this, I ordered my Aperture 2 copy with much enthusiasm!
I am very excited about the user interface changes, database structure changes, speed increases, and the new tools (vignetting, vibrancy, definition, etc).
It looks like Apple has still ignored everyone's request for easy dvd burning directly from within Aperture though. Correct me if I am wrong (please!)...why do I have to export my versions/masters to a folder and then burn the folder? I'd like to be a able to click on an Aperture Project or Album and burn! Its a simple request.
