Aperture 2.0!

Aperture 2.0Apple has finally released the newest version of Aperture and I’m excited to try it out. The pricing is a bit lower at $199 (I believe 1.0 was $249?).

One thing that really excites me is direct access to your iPhoto library from within Aperture. I’m not sure what this means exactly, but I like it. I keep my “professional” photos in Aperture and all my personal life photos in iPhoto. I like the organizational aspects of iPhoto, it’s much easier to use to just show off my pictures to people who lean over my shoulder. But if I can use the Aperture image editing on my photos without having to export from iPhoto, import into Aperture, export, and then bring back into iPhoto, I’ll be a happy man. The non-destructive aspects of Aperture have always been a big selling point for me.

Aperture 2 gives photographers incredible tools to manage massive libraries, speed through photo edits, make essential image adjustments, and deliver photos online and in print using one simple, integrated workflow. Whether you shoot RAW or JPEG, Aperture lets you get the most out of your photography.

I get back into California on Friday night and I plan on stopping by the Apple store and picking up a copy. I’ve been messing around with the trial and it’s pretty flipping sweet.

Go ahead and comment. I won't make fun of you too much.
