Apple Aperture 3.3 - Has anyone tried?

[Keith B]

I haven't found any issues. I like the Skin Tone White Balance function...a lot. You still can't ad multiple white balances (like you can color adj.) but at least in skin you can brush in or away.

They tout the Shadow/Highlights works better but I don't see it. It just has less sliders and less control over the effect. It seemed to be a "professional" feature before but now it feels like a iPhoto setting.

Revert to Original has always been there it just wan't a button. It had a little icon below the histogram on the Adjustment Inspector. But that area now has the all important iPhoto-ish Auto Enhance button.

I'm a long time Mac guy but I'm getting a little uneasy with Apple's direction lately. They are doing the same thing to Aperture they did to Final Cut. I can live with that but the OS is really getting to me. Lion is really buggy and I don't think the average user notices the issues as much as the pro user so they don't care to fix them. I think this is why Mt. Lion is only $20, they know Lion was crap. Kind of the same way Leopard was a rushed piece of crap and Snow Leopard was more the finished product.
