Aperture
Apple has cojones.
David Girard uses this bold and straight, if mexican sounding statement in his review of the now-shipping Aperture from Apple. Review is available on Ars Technica.
Aperture is a pro-level RAW support photo cataloging app, not to be confused with Photoshop. It offers advanced RAW workflow, professional project management, compare and select tools, nondestructive image processing, and printing and publishing. Bold are pocket and system requirements (499$ and a dual G5).
The review is a piece of art and I highly recommend it. What is shown is the detailed process, on the part of not a professional photographer but a professional retoucher, of picking and pushing a complex software tool, underline what and where the snafus are and drawing conclusions that are clear and useful to potential customers. Unfortunately the circumspection used in the review does not save Apple.
Good job David.
Enjoy the reading.
