 Not a bad Step Up November 16, 2008
I purchased this product because I was looking for something more than just the iphoto my Mac comes with. I can tell that I have opened the door to a whole new world. This product was cheaper than an Adobe Pro program and better than Photo shop Elements. I am overal happy with my purchase and I look forward to getting all that I can out of this.
Thoroughly Pleased with Aperture 2 November 3, 2008

I am an amateur at best and I took advantage of both free trial offers from Aperture 2 and LightRoom. Although LightRoom was similar, to me there was no comparison. I went into it with no experience and was totally objective in my opinion and found Aperture to be much much better. Used the same photo in both and consistently got better results in Aperture, with a more seamless flow to the work. One mans opinion !!
Aperture Vs Nikon Capture NX2 October 24, 2008
I used the trial version of Aperture and Nikon Capture NX2 back to back for about a month. Both are great programs and I believe I would be happy with either. Ultimately I choose Aperture for its familiar interface and believe Apple will continue to ensure compatibility with OSX for a long time to come. Nikon support is excellent but their new proprietary RAW format that works only with Microsoft Windows took me by surprise. Not that I am affected because so far the new RAW format is only on their point and shoot cameras, I still felt slightly betrayed and uncertain what the future relationship with Apple will be. I figure no matter what happens I will still be able to use the same software to catalog and edit my photos.
Graduated from iphoto October 24, 2008

Quick access to photos for very easy modification. Much more editing, organizing, and viewing options then iphoto and is worth the $$. Iphoto was too basic plus it did not provide and option for use with an external editor like PT Lens. I have used Photoshop Element, ACDC and like Aperture the best.
 Only average. A disappointment October 15, 2008

I bought Apterture to help manage and provide advanced editing to my photos. I am also a user of Adobe Photoshop CS3.
Aperture's Pluses:
- larger database for photos than iphoto
- slightly enhanced editing tools
- better selection of online books to purchase
Aperture's Negatives:
- Overly high system requirements when not necessary
- Bloated and creates its own directory of photos (so it gets duplicates from iphotos) - what a waste of hard drive space
- editing tools are not very good
- Slow
- Overall a major disappointment
If you use iphoto, Aperture is a minor improvement. You get a larger index (where iphoto has a tendency to freak out at 5000 photos or so). Editing tools are only marginally better. Nothing great. If you do editing - save the $200 and use it to buy Photoshop CS3.
The only positive is that it has better 'photo books' that you can purchase and are custom to Aperture - typical of Apple's closed environment.
This product is only 2 stars at best. Major disappointment.
