    Makes me wonder when Apple is going to refresh Aperture. It’s overdue.

    Aperture 3 is due out pretty soon. Word I’ve heard it’s going to be a big update. But I’m not sure just how they can compete with the integration of Lightroom and Photoshop. But then I don’t see how Adobe can match the integration of Aperture and OS X.

    It’s a though choice either way, unless you’re stuck with Windblows.
