I cannot say this enough: Aperture is the application for the photographic creative process. It is not an image manipulation tool like Photoshop, and it is not a toy like iPhoto. Aperture is a professional application from top to bottom that works with the photographer’s process. This program puts the technology where it belong — out of the way in the background — and allowing the creative process to take precedence. [Macworld]
The more I’ve been using my new Nikon D70s, the more I want Aperture. I am getting used to RAW and completely see the value in what can be done before any interpretation has been made on the image. I’m just hoping the machine requirements are not so severe that my PowerBook can’t keep up. Apple says you can use a G4, but we’ll have to get some real reports when it ships.

Yeah, I’m the same – a 17″ powerbook, and a Nikon D70 – I’d love to use Aperture, and will pay full retail for it – If the initial reviews tell me that it will run acceptably on my Powerbook.
I’d like it to – but I’m not that hopeful – and I don’t have the budget for a new Powermac – nor am I keen on buying anything hardware wise from Apple until the Intel machines start to hit the market.
Exactly – no hardware for me either until the Intel stuff arrives… It should be all dual-core and quite powerful.
