giga Veteran Posted February 9, 2010 Veteran Share Posted February 9, 2010 Waiting on the free trial, but glad to finally see 64-bit, adjustment presets, and brushes. Also, interesting new zoom tooltips on the site, which now expand the image into a "hud" panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growled Member Posted February 9, 2010 Member Share Posted February 9, 2010 It looks like a solid upgrade to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazzy88ss Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 about time!! I hope it's good. I hope there's a big speed increase, cuz it's slow as hell on my iMac C2D 2.16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argote Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Might be interesting for mac owners, I haven't used Aperture before but I'm under the impression that Lightroom is far superior. How far off the mark am I? The facial recognition feature looks really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having used both, I prefer Aperture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga Veteran Posted February 10, 2010 Veteran Share Posted February 10, 2010 Finally able to set color profiles for external editors. Rule of thirds lines on crop. Focus points! Yes! Nicer histogram. Notice that reprocess button--leads me to believe they're using a newer RAW engine. Adjustment presets with a nice core animated preview. Quick brushes. You can also use brushes for any regular adjustment like color, levels, exposure, etc. No more tomfoolery with Photoshop masks. Tiger-era traffic lights? What? It goes nuts on ram like LR Might be interesting for mac owners, I haven't used Aperture before but I'm under the impression that Lightroom is far superior. How far off the mark am I? The facial recognition feature looks really cool. Nope. Both are great, I just prefer Aperture's more flexible organization and workflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazzy88ss Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 thx giga. What about doge/burn? Has that been changed at all? And have you noticed an increase in speed at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga Veteran Posted February 10, 2010 Veteran Share Posted February 10, 2010 Dodge/Burn is now a quick brush and uses the main window with a hud for adjustment. Can also detect edges (so if you're dodging a sunrise or mountain cliffs it'll detect the edges to not go over them) In terms of speed, thumbnails are a bit faster to generate and some things are a bit snappier (from being 64-bit I'd imagine), but I'd say it's still pretty demanding on resources. At least 4GB ram and a 7200RPM hard drive I'd recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazzy88ss Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 dodge/burn: Yeay! speed: damn my 2gb ram iMac :( But when I use Aperture I check my memory, and lots of times it has half of my ram UNUSED and Aperture is chugging along. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? 1GB free in the green or do you mean wired/active/inactive? Check your page outs, which is the swap file paging to the hard disk--if this is a high number you need more ram.
