The editors didn't like

  • Continuing bug issues including nagging program hang-ups
  • Faces and Places technology mostly a novelty
  • Could use more HD editing capabilities for HD-DSLRs.
  • Still some graphics instability problems in version 3.0.3
  • Interface can still feel heavy
  • Edge masking needs more control
  • Verdict
  • So good that I'd put up with the crashing to use it
  • Brief slowdown can sometimes happen even on powerful Macs. Faces feature can also be sluggish.
  • Resource intensive. No history window to see previous actions. No geometry correction. No Windows version.
  • No new tools
  • Requires a fast computer to run optimally
  • Faces can bog down the system
  • Some users have reported troubling bugs
  • Inability to group brushed-in adjustments.
  • Overly simplistic in places for advanced users

  • zeer uitgebreide lokale correcties, 'Places', 'Faces', Flickr en Facebook integratie, diashows met foto’s, video en geluid
  • webgalerieën nog steeds vrij beperkt, draait alleen onder Mac OS X
  • Aperture 3 als geheel is goed. Versie 3 is een zeer belangrijke upgrade, die Aperture helemaal terugbrengt in de race met Photoshop Lightroom....

  • Easy to understand, userfriendly interface and familiar controls make 'upgrading' from iPhoto to Aperture easy for beginners,
  • Print products might snag when uploading.
  • Plenty of great new features make this a worthwhile buy and upgrade for those who want a professional photo editing and management program....
