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.'"
.dmg is a disk image file for a mac. It's not a windows program.
You can buy a full PC for less money than it takes to purchase Aperture. The point is that a $500 Mac program should do more than a free PC program; it would look very bad for the Mac platform if it didn't.
It's hard to be religious when certain people are never incinerated by bolts of lightning.
