Apple's Aperture Reviewed
phaedo00 writes "Ars Technica has done an in-depth review of Apple's Aperture. Reviewer Dave Girard gives it a once over and walks away with a sour taste in his mouth. From the review: 'It is also disappointing to see form beat out function here, but hopefully this will be Apple's software equivalent of the G4 Cube. They have only themselves to blame: they set themselves up for a big fall by attempting to dig themselves a chunk of the pro market by purporting to have the lossless holy grail of imaging. The trouble with that is they obviously didn't have the engineering or expertise in RAW processing to pull it off or, if they did, they chose not to include it because of speed constraints due to Core Image.'"
I tried to drive my car over a lake and it just said "sploosh". You'd think they could put a dashboard indicator or something for when you were attempting to use an unsupported feature.
I have seen the future, and it is inconvenient.
I'm glad he mentions font size issues. I'm using Windows XP, and am constantly running into font size issues. Programs ignore my settings or pay attention to part of them, and also dont allocate enough room for the chosen font size. This is rediculous. Visual Studio 2005 is a big offender as well.
Good god, the first thing to enter my head: an Apple-themed Goatse. Oy.
