It does do some tethered, using an Automator script to set the download location for the camera and then grab the images. I’d expect more tetherd support to come in future versions.

It’ll also pick up more RAW support over time.

This IS a really really big thing for pros.

I really don’t see the problem here…Aperture is meant for massive file workflow processing, not compositing.

It’s also 1.0. I wouldn’t be surprised to see features like you describe added on via plug-ins or updates.

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.
