p.1 #1 · apeture 3 actually looks pretty good

http://www.apple.com/aperture/whats-new.html

Sure that it is all over the web by now, but oh wells.

Haven't gave apeture a spin in a few years, but this release is looking pretty intruiging.

I'm thinking about it... I might test the trial version...

Red used to always rave about the album design capabilities.

I just watched the videos. It looks really sweet actually.

Slideshows looks great. New brushes is a must, and looks WAY better than LR current capabilities. Presets finally. Looks faster.

Downloading trial, looks good.

Yeah, this really struck me as Apple actually responding to Lightroom. As an admitted Mac slappy, this is probably getting installed on my machine really really soon.

Spence, you'll need to get crackin' on Presetopia apeture addition :-)

Being able to sync catalogs (easily) between different machines will be great!!

I didn't get a blank email. I am downloading it now and it appears to be working just fine. I switched from Aperture 1.5 to LR 2 and have been very pleased. It will take a lot to get me back into Aperture.

It's about time Apple add adjustment brushes. That's one of THE major reasons I never gave them more than a glance. Definitely going to have to check out the trial.

Can you design albums for books other than the Apple coffee table books?

That's what I'm wondering... would be pretty cool not to need to use InDesign, but I'm not sure if you can export etc...

It looks like you can. Where did you see the part about switching catalogues between machines?

I'm not seeing anywhere that it says you can (maybe I'm missing it though), and I know from experience that, other than a .pdf export, there's no way to get the layout out of Aperture except through Apple.

Not only does it do brushes but it seems it also does pressure sensitivity if you're using a tablet. Pretty cool!

right, but a PDF export should be good almost anywhere.

"Photo Book Plug-ins

Aperture 3 now lets you create and order books from a number of the leading, high-end album companies, such as Couture, Graphistudio, Leather Craftsmen, and Queensberry. Book themes developed and provided by these companies plug directly into Aperture, allowing you to create your book layouts and then connect, order, and upload your finished book with a few clicks."

Not to mention that it looks like you can just create a custom-sized book and send it anywhere.

Truly? Don't get a fella's hopes up!

I didn't think that a pdf export would be good enough for some of the other album printers like BRI, Finao, Askua, etc.

To Quote:
Merge and Sync Libraries

To merge two or more Aperture libraries, simply drag one Aperture library into another. If any of the merged projects match those already in the library, Aperture automatically updates those items with the most recent changes.

Reading that you should simply be able to mount the library over AFP then sync it. Not a complete solution but definitely better than previously.
