Aperture 2.1.1 now available

When Apple decides that my 1.42 Ghz Dual Processor MDD with an ATI Radeon 9600 video card is adequate for Aperture (and I can tell you from personal experience that it is MORE than adequate for Aperture) then, I'll be happy to buy it from Apple.

Until then, The Pirate Bay is your friend when it comes to running Aperture on "unapproved" hardware.

Is this a warez site ? with all the talk about pirated serial numbers....

Hopefully this isn't a double post...

I actually updated before realizing the old serials got wipedout...had to delete everything with AppCleaner and go back through tomy Time Capsule and restore the old version I had from last week...it worked like a charm and I've got aperture 2.1 back until someone finds a way to get the newer version out to us...

Meh.. I've just gone back to Lightroom after trying out the Aperture demo for a couple of weeks. I was beginning to get on with Aperture but just found that the project/album/folder/book structure is far, far too complicated. I never quite understood whether I should be using a folder, album or project and when I should be using them. Lightroom has folders, which I automatically have generate by the image date, and collections - I can store projects in a collection but they're still in the folder by it's date too. I'm sure you could probably do this in Aperture but I couldn't work it out.

Some features in Aperture I REALLY like. The ability to store images essentially where you like, so you could have working images on your laptop and then move them to an archive on an external drive is great. You might be able to do this with Lightroom but I've not quite worked it out.

Overall, I think I prefer Lightroom, it feels a bit more immediate and less convoluted.

Oh, and also, they have burnt the unofficial serial nulbers in this update, so beware.

Apple has posted it, with also the 1.5.6 update for 1.x users.

I have Aperture 2.1, and when I run Software Update it doesn't list any updates available.
I also never got the Mobile Me update listed in Software Update or two of my coworkers who have macs. The only way to trigger that update was to go into the .mac preference pane and play around for a few seconds.

I literally just finished moving a bunch of Aperture photos back into iPhoto so they could be imported from mobileme into iWeb so I'm sure that must be one of the fixes.
