Looks like this IS NOT the long awaited Aperture 4 update we were all looking for and hoping for.


This is being labeled Aperture 3.3


The one major feature addition is the unification of the iPhoto and Aperture libraries and this is the footnote for that feature:

Now I wonder what the ramifications of this unification is? Why have two apps if they both use the same library?

Why have two apps if they both use the same library?

They already share the same database structure. And why not have two different views of the same database? One for professionals and one for occasional users?


I find his very reassuring; I was afraid Aperture may be downgraded to something flashy like iPhoto. This now no longer seems to be necessary.

Hhhmm, not happy with the update. More and more people are migrating from iPhoto to Aperture and I think more and more professional photographers are leaving to Lightroom. I really begin to think Apple is pointing there market stretagies to the masses and forget the professionals.


the only two reasons I stick with Aperture is the ease management of my photo's and I that I have NIK software for Aperture.
