Aperture is Big
Aperture is big. Industry-rattling big. If you’re a photo professional, you understand why; if not, take my word for it. Apple’s announcement of Aperture today wasn’t a total shock; many were expecting an “iPhoto Pro” to come along (readers of my iPhoto Challenge articles will know I was one of those hoping for just such a thing.) What is surprising is that it’s not “iPhoto Pro”, it’s really just PRO, in big bold letters. Aperture includes Automator integration, of course; it sports a number of handy actions that will be of great interest to users. Watch this space for more information.
After seeing the demos, It’s seems a little more like iPhoto/Prosumer then a PRO app after all. Less amateuer “redeye” tools, and more pro functions please.
Several huge ommisions…. • NO - High end digital back support. • NO - Tethered capture capability. • NO - Layered psd file support.
I’ll stick with Capture ONE, and Photoshop CS2, for now.

This is good news as I couldn’t find any mention of AppleScript support on Apple’s website for Aperture. Anyone gotten a peek at the Dictionary, if there is one?
