There was an article in the ArsTechnica about Apple Aperture. Not very good product from the author's point of view. And I was a little disappointed. But in the same time I had some feeling that the author paid just a little attention to the main benefit of Aperture - reviewing and selecting - the way no other software can.

And then I read a comment on the Slashdot with two key sentences:

• A pro photographer is paid for his "eye"/ability to capture an image that is so desirable, someone wants to pay for it.
  
• Maybe the better article choice would have been to collect feedback from pros instead of assuming he "knows" all about it?
  

I totally agree with the commenter from Slashdot. Can't help waiting to get Aperture.

By the way, there are limitations to RAM amount for running Aperture. There is a trick to avoid them:

open the file info.plist (on the Aperture.app bundle)

<key>AELMinimumRAMSize</key>
<string>1000</string>
to
<key>AELMinimumRAMSize</key>
<string>700</string>

You can use your amount of RAM instead of 700 mentioned above.
