Apple’s new photo management/editing software for professional digital photographers is called Aperture, which is to iPhoto as Final Cut is to iMovie. Pretty mind-blowing – marginalizes Photoshop out of the picture for most needs (though not completely). Downsides: It’s $500, and the system requirements specify a DUAL 2GHz G5. Talk about limiting your audience. Still, can’t wait to play with it.
