Q: Is Aperture 3.4.3 available as an upgrade to existing Aperture licence-holders?

I have Aperture 1, and Aperture 2.1.4. Can I upgrade to Aperture 3.4.3 with a discount therefore, or do I have to buy a brand new licence?

Mac mini (Mid 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

    Since Aperture is sold from the AppStore, there are no longer Upgrade licences available, sorry. But Aperture from the AppStore is much more moderately priced than the previous retail Aperture versions have been.

    Added: If you are going to upgrade from a very early Aperture version, read the "Additional Information: A note on upgrading ..." in this document:

    and be sure to keep a backup of your original library and of the Aperture 2 application, just in case!

    Nu upgrade license, only new.

    If you need the v3 version (for example for RAF raw files -Fujifilm- see other threads here) you need version 3.

    Don't go for halfway raw converters, expensive and not good mostly.
