Review: Best RAW workflow for non-medium format digital. For larger formats (Phase One, Leaf, etc.) go with Capture One for strong tethered work flow. For all the rest (Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Fuji, etc) go with Aperture. Cut my post time by at least 60%, and the final output is stunning. Very easy to make proofing pages for clients. Truly made with the professional in mind; also, 1.5 fixes the library issue-- images no longer need to be stored in the library, but can be referenced to off-site disks, DVD, or drives.

Review: I purchased Aperture 1.1 (free upgrade to 1.5) but it will not install on my 20" 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 iMac. I have owned and used Macs for 20 years and never before been this disappointed in a product. Be careful.
