Has Aperture 2 Come down in price

Recently has Aperture 2 come down in price? Though it use to be about 225? It appear to be 125 now??

The store went down this morning.

This could be the reason. Good spot.

 

[SentineL-X]

That's a very good spot!

Aperture 2 has always been £129, the price drop came when it went from 1.5 to 2

Thats what i thought

Yup, Aperture 2 is cheaper than 1 used to be.

Been like it all the time though.

 

[Rooky007]

Really... Hmmm last time i looked about 2 month ago it was 200 or odd. When did version 2 come out?

 

[J1234]

Not long ago, few weeks.

It's probably come down in price to encourage more PROsumers to buy it.

It's a bargain for what it is (if you're serious about photography)

Should do. Might slow during RAW processing, but it should be ok.

Is it as powerful as Photoshop?

It lacks some of the more advanced features but does a good job.

Different kind of tools. Aperture (and Lightroom) are digital photo management, RAW photo processing tools.
Photoshop is a pixel editing tool.

There is some cross over (indeed, both tools could be used together), but I don't think you can really compare them directly.
