Aperture 2

I just downloaded the 30-day trial and its very good.

Up to now ive managed to sort most of my images into projects and have a play with some of the filters and other bits.

I really like the Aperture Photo books that you can even have published from £7.99. I mite end up buying it.

Anyone else used or tried this?

Yup, Aperture is brilliant, better than Lightroom imo. Just a bit pricy.

I prefer Lightroom myself because of the way it integrates with the other Adobe apps.

If it wasn't for that, I would probably be tempted to swap over, especially now Aperture has loads more features than it did before.

I love it. Very handy for importing image and exporting them in batches.

Quick question- Why can you not put pictures into folders? Is that not a bit, erm, ghay?!

I've been needing an image editing application on OS X for a while (iPhoto, Seashore etc. just really don't cut it) and I noticed I can get Aperture 2 for £60 via the Education Store.

Anyway i've downloaded it and had a play around (and watched a couple of online tutorials) but have a couple of questions if anyone can help?

I've seen that Aperture and iPhoto can link together to some degree, but can you edit files that are already in iPhoto, so that the changes are then shown instantly in iPhoto? Or is the application not designed to start playing around inside the iPhoto library, but instead it'll import the file (or leave it where it is but save the edits in it's own library as i've seen in settings) for itself to edit, then you have to import the image back into iPhoto so there's no confusion in which application is doing what?

Am I right in guessing that the way to work (going forward) would be to import files from a camera into Aperture, edit them to how I want, and then import them into iPhoto when done?
