I understand that this post might not make a lot of sense to some people and for that I apologize but I am too pumped not to post.
I think I have a new favorite program. I love photography and I edit my own pictures in Photoshop CS2. My husband (always encouraging me) has asked me a few times about Aperture. I've played with it a few times at the Apple store but never really saw a point to own and use it myself. Until now. Apple recently released Aperture 2 and I am already in love with it!
It works with Photoshop- not as a replacement and the newest version has over 100 upgrades and new features. You can make basic edits in Aperture and then export the image to PS for finishing touches with filters, masks, etc. In Aperture, not only can you lift your edits from one image and then stamp it on another but also stores all of your camera settings and tags it to your image. (Apparently Adobe Bridge does that for RAW images but I've never used it.) I just think this is a huge asset for me. I've always had to write them down or get get over losing that information. No longer. Of course this is still a very new program for me and I'm still searching my way through all of its capabilities but I am so excited about what this means for my work. It will help manage my workflow, allow me to create books (instead of using blurb or a similar program) and save me a ton of time! I am seriously so excited- I feel like a 4 year-old at Christmas. Has anyone else used this program?

Nope, never even heard of it, but I'm glad you're excited about it! I wish I knew more about photography, maybe some day when I have time I'll learn more.
I'm intrigued!
I'm so excited for you!!!
