Aperture 2 on Macbook Pro (LIon)

I use Aperture 2 on my iMac (snow leopard).

I bought a new MacBook Pro (Lion) and want to put

Aperture 2 on the Macbook then upgrade to Aperture 3.

The Macbook won't take it. Tells me Aperture is not compatible.

I need a photo organizer/editor for the MacBook and if aperture 2 won't

work, does anyone have another suggestion as to what I can do or use.

I'd rather not use full Photoshop (too expensive) and I'm told that

Photoshop Elements 10 will not read Apertures photo library.

Ideas ... anyone .... please.

For anyone who may be interested..... after a little bit of hassle finally spoke with a

techie in the aperture department.

It seems Aperture 2 is not compatible with the Lion (OS 10.7.1)

You need Aperture 3 (no surprise there).

You can download Aperture 3 from the app store for $80.

Aperture 2's library will be recignized by the Mark 3 program and will be

updated to work with Aperture 3 ...which will make it unuseable by Aperture 2.

upshot is .... if you upgrade to Apert 3 ..you gotta do it on all your computers

or not at all.

actively looking at Photoshop Elements 10 instead. At least that way I can use the same program on all my ,machines and download from one to the other without compatibility problems.
