As someone who comes from an IT background, who has been a Photoshop user since version 3, I have to say the latest version of Aperture is a grand slam out-of-the-park home run. I used the trial versions of Adobe's Light Room, and Aperture, and came away from my experience with a clear preference to Apple's product primarily because Aperture's user interface is much more clear and intuitive.
A number of 3rd party developers have been busy making plug-ins for Aperture, but I've found, once you understand to basic tools included in this program, you won't find it lacking much at all. On those occasions you might want them, you can pop out of Aperture into Photoshop with ease.
If you feel you've outgrown iPhoto, and have any doubts this is the tool for you, download the free demo from Apple and take a test drive. Apple's site has 50 free tutorials to show you all the core elements and get you started. You'll be back to Amazon soon enough to get your copy...
Better than 1.0 March 19, 2008

This runs far smoother than 1.0 and the updates. The browsing on my macbook pro feels more like it does for iphoto making the experience much more pleasurable. If you're an amatuer just stick to iphoto though for the most part the only thing i can think of that feels better with aperture 2.0 are the workflows and the presentation of work. All in all it's not much of an upgrade except performance improvements.
Best photo program ever September 10, 2008

Aperture 2 is the best editing program ever. It blows Adobe Lightroom away. Apple went to the top photographers of the world asked them what they would like to see in editing software and Aperture 2 was created. If you are a PC owner this product alone is worth switching to an Apple computer. I did partly because of it.
 Only average. A disappointment October 15, 2008

I bought Apterture to help manage and provide advanced editing to my photos. I am also a user of Adobe Photoshop CS3.
Aperture's Pluses:
- larger database for photos than iphoto
- slightly enhanced editing tools
- better selection of online books to purchase
Aperture's Negatives:
- Overly high system requirements when not necessary
- Bloated and creates its own directory of photos (so it gets duplicates from iphotos) - what a waste of hard drive space
- editing tools are not very good
- Slow
- Overall a major disappointment
If you use iphoto, Aperture is a minor improvement. You get a larger index (where iphoto has a tendency to freak out at 5000 photos or so). Editing tools are only marginally better. Nothing great. If you do editing - save the $200 and use it to buy Photoshop CS3.
The only positive is that it has better 'photo books' that you can purchase and are custom to Aperture - typical of Apple's closed environment.
This product is only 2 stars at best. Major disappointment.

I originally bough this product for the web-publish feature in Aperture, but to my disappointment this feature is terrible slow if you have large files it could take hours to publish them to the web and It distorts your image size. Bottom line, don't waste your money.
