Having proof books designed and ordered right from Aperture is yet another advantage. We spend loads of time just converting images to B&W. Using actions in PS can take hours on a big wedding. This can be done in 'versions' and rendered right along with the color files. Aperture is a time saving program. For that reason, we pre-ordered it. The cost will be recouped the first job it saves just one day of post processing.

It looks like it could make organizing and editing wedding photo's a lot easier. The only complaints I have are that it doesn't have any way to sharpen an image or any way to reduce noise, so you still need photoshop. I think the $500 is a little high when you compare it to the $300 (upgrade from the free version that cme with canon 20d) it cost me to get Photoshop cs2. If it did sharpening and noise reduction, which shouldn't be that dificult. You could skip opening photoshop alltogether, wich would save a lot of time when you are trying to go through 3000 pictures. I saw this at a photo show in NY this weekend it was pretty amazing.

Plese keep in mind that this isn't just a photo color correction and organizing tool. It also allows nondestructive editing and is extremely fast when it comes to RAW photographs. Take a look at the printing features over at apple.com/aperture, the application looks *really* impressive. This isn't supposed to replace photoshop(not yet anyways) Aperture allows you to use an external editor, such as photoshop, to do any work on the photo that can't be done in Aperture. With any pro application, there are a group of people out there which this caters to and would pay any price to have something like this. I think $500 is resonable. Professional mac based digital photographers will see this as just another too to compliment photoshop. I work in the wedding business, and the printing and layout features alone looks like they are worth the price. My studio has been thinking about switching to an all digital workflow for some time, This might just be the time to do it. The name is genius isn’t it?

It's tech specs don't show any real advantage over the $600 photoshop cs2. So what's the incentive for people to switch? I’ve never used this program, but it’s pricetag of $500 seems a bit high.
