“Photography pros have been waiting for a new version of Apple’s Aperture for way too long,” Steven Sande writes for TUAW. “The existing version, Aperture 2, was released on February 12, 2008.”
“According to a post on Dutch website One More Thing, the wait might be over soon. Several Dutch photography sites are listing a book about Aperture 3 with mid-February availability dates,” Sande reports. “Aperture 3, by author Johan Elzenga, is a Dutch-language book and is listed for availability on February 15th.”

Don’t you mean imminent???
Nothing to see here.

@ I’m a PC: You’re right. Now please, go back and write Microsuck how you invented Winblows 7 with that dopey little Asian kid…
No.
Al Gore shouldn’t remain on Apple Board.
Enuf with the pedophile stare.
I typed Windows 7 in Bing and this is where I ended up.
@Creeper!
Yes – agreed. I vote NO every time I come here

Come on, PC! Is that all you’ve got? I guess you mean PC-13. Wow the trolls have gotten really lame lately.
I just get this horrible feeling that PC was one of those nerds clapping Balmer as he did his Monkey Dance and thinking ‘ I wish I could be that cool’. I feel sick, very sick.
New Appetizer 3!!!!! Crap I hate having meetings that run through lunch.
Aperture 3 looking forward to an update.
Finally!!
Aperture 2 is getting long in the tooth. No 64bit support and crashes on Snow Leo. I haven’t upgraded because of that.
Yes!!! I want it. I don’t buy any adobe products anymore.
Don’t care about apature!!! WHERE’S MY iLIFE ’10????
it’s been such a long wait for aperature 3, lightroom is kicking apple quite hard at the moment
Aperture has never crashed on Snow Leopard for me. Well overdue for an upgrade though.
Aperture 2 runs fine on Snow Leopard. incompatible 3rd party plug-ins would make it crash.
@Me in LA
I vote no on Al every time I come here too! Also, I’m a shareholder, so I vote against him whenever I get the chance too.
@I’m a PC
To be completely honest and fair..I tried Bing and did not like it…I tried it for about a week and found it just inadequate.
The real problem is that if you haven’t really TRIED a Mac or tried to understand the Unix foundations for OS X then all you are left with is juvenile posts on sites like this.
I’ve used Windows as well and while Windows 7 is an improvement, by the accounts of most experts, they are still miles behind OS X in most important areas.
Your posts here bounce off the walls
@Gore haters… I agree with you guys 100%. The only problem I’m running into is that I’d almost be willing to let him stay on the board if MDN would just get rid of that creepy face shot of him. I know… I know… I’m truly losing my mind for suggesting that, but I’m desperate at this point to do anything to have Al stop staring at me!!!
Waaaay too late Apple. I gave up on Aperture long ago. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is where I now go to for my digital asset management needs. Maybe if Apple would have been more professional about their product I’d have stuck with them. But their utter silence simply shows that they have no care or concern about people’s needs.
Please not that Aperture 2 has had the headline: “Introducing…” for 2 years now. They have not even bothered to update the site since it went up in Feb 08.
“No 64bit support and crashes on Snow Leo. I haven’t upgraded because of that.”
You’re missing out then.
I’ve been using it (2.1.4) under SL since it was available, on two different machines, and have yet to see a crash.
The water’s fine, jump on in.
I love Aperture. Unfortunately the raw color never looks as good as Nikon’s raw program because Nikon won’t release their raw color info to other developers like Apple and Adobe.
To quote a Nikon rep I was talking to once who considers their raw info their advantage over Apple and Adobe,
“why should we just give it away for free?”
I’m told Canon does the same thing.
I have a bad feeling that my G5 tower is going to be left out in the cold with Aperture 3.
I hope I’m wrong.
G5s run $500 on ebay in dual 2ghz specs, only problem is – no FCP7, Logic 9, Aperture 3, or soup for you!!!!
Yes! I love Aperture. Very much looking forward to a new version. Here’s hoping it will have better noise reduction.
