Looks like a nice update. Some of the major upgrades like faces and GPS are merely iPhoto catchups. I wonder if they improved the NR component or if you still need a plugin for serious work.
Still digesting everything. But... curves, working with video, brushes, selective editing, all non destructive. WOW. Didn't see anything with NR though.
Ok, this is the year that I finally start using Aperture or Lightroom.
Can anyone report on how well Apple's deBeyer-ing handles raw data prone to mazing, as seen from some 7D bodies, for example? I suppose I just need to try it out.
My point was that discussion around the internet today has been centered on "faces". People are claiming that this is no longer a professional photo management tool, and LR is the only real option. I think that is far from the truth. Aperture has been a powerful tool, and looks even better after the upgrade.
Anybody that says Aperture isn't a professional photo tool doesn't know what they are talking about. I'm really happy about the ability to rename masters(drove me nuts how it affected smart albums). The ability to alter the scope of smart albums is another thing I was hoping for.

that's ridiculous, like saying you wouldn't buy a Canon DSLR because it has a direct print button!

Not sure how you arrived at that conclusion, as luminance nr is disabled in LR3 beta.

Just comparing apples and apples by making similar choices in A3. Also, if you quote my comment in full, you will see that I am specifically mentioning the debeyer and not the NR.
