In 1.0, I would have to say that the image quality was not that great. 1.1.1 fixes my complaints about the image quality, but I still prefer CaptureOne- Aperture may have a better interface, but CaptureOne moves fast on my G5, where Aperture crawls unless you have a new intel mac w/ hardware graphics or a dual/quad 2.3GHz or greater G5.
One thing that I do miss in C1 is Aperture's auto-stacking ability; it groups images into stacks by nearness in time- this is really great and is very effective for automatically separating your different subjects. It's got great potential, and I'd certainly like to use it. Perhaps once they support multiple image databases I'll try a wholesale import of a few thousand images to see how it works. From time to time Apple stores will have a demo of Aperture, check the Apple website- you can bring in images and work with the software before you buy it. -Ryan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
