 Excellent for photographers June 27, 2008
I was an iPhoto user before, but I'm very happy with the expanded capabilities in Aperature. The only drawback I've seen is that I can't figure out how to convert/save a picture into black & white or sepia. But I can always use iPhoto to do that. I also love the custom books part - all the pages are customizable (you can change the layout, fonts, sizes, etc on each page), which you can't do in iPhoto's custom books.
Overall, I'm very happy with Aperature 2 and would recommend it to anyone that's serious about photography!
 Avoid Apple Aperture 2.0 June 25, 2008

I strongly advise anyone considering buying this product to save your money and buy Adobe Photoshop CS3, Lightroom, Corel or Nikon Capture NX. I had used Aperture 1.5 and upgraded to Aperture 2.0 and then 2.1. I run a G5 MAC with the Leopard OS. The Aperture program crashes repeatedly, loses projects and will corrupt your images. I used it to process upwards of a thousand photos at a time for sports professionally and had constant problems. Despite submitting over 2 Dz. crash reports and over 1 Dz feedback reports I received no response. Apple's published policy is they will not respond to these reports. They also do not provide any direct email support or phone support for this product. They will advise you to join the Aperture forum for submission of questions, tips and answers by other users. I highly advise you to read the forum entries before buying. They are filled with other dissatisfied users like myself that have faulty bug ridden Aperture software and problems that are not being solved by Apple! And beware any advise given on how to resolve problems does not come from Apple trained and software certified professionals! Anyone can claim to be an expert and submit solutions that may cause your system more damage that Apple will not assume any liability for! I now rely on Adobe and Nikon software because these companies care about you, the consumer. They will answer your questions and they make available email and phone numbers for questions and inquires. Nikon even ran my images and files through their lab to resolve an issue with their software and gave me prompt and accurate responses!
Good software is hard to find June 13, 2008

Aperture is a fantastic piece of software for managing and enhancing all your photos. You can manage master photos with various versions, which unlike iPhoto will store the adjustment parameters rather than a copy of the photo.
Importing and generation of previews is threaded so you can continue working while it churns away in the background.
I am a strong user of keywords and Aperture does not dissapoint. You can search on these keywords, any of the EXIF data, import date, photo date etc.
I also recently designed and printed a book using Apples book printing service embedded in Aperture. It was an absolutely seemless process. I designed the book with ease. Apple pay attention to many of the minor details which make authoring a joy rather than a chore. Uploading, paying and receiving the book could not have been more seemless.
I have not noticed any major bugs. One niggling bug, however, is that occasionally the thumbnails are not displayed correctly. Fortunately you can force a rebuild of those thumbnails.
 Great software! May 27, 2008

I wasn't sure about this product at first because I was so used to Adobe Photoshop that I use at work but could not afford for my personal use. The aperture 2 software works great with my digital camera and the program is very user friendly and fun to use! Highly recommended for beginners all the way to pros that are looking for a great photography editing software for the price.
Excellent! May 2, 2008

I had switched to Lightroom because of performance issues with Aperture 1.5 and, too, at the time Lightroom had a more extensive array of develop tools, but I always preferred the mon-modular work flow of Aperture. The minute 2.0 was released, I switched back and am very pleased that I did...Aperture now has all the features of Lightroom and more and the performance issues are no longer an issue. Both are great apps, but for me, Aperture is the one.
