Here is my early assessment: The new brushes actions are a vast improvement giving you the ability to work on parts of your images - and then adjust your effect globally. Dodge & burn now is integrated rather than working like an add on with ver 2.14. Raw engine conversion seems a bit better as well with more raw formats covered. The B&W conversion isn't any better. I still prefer Silver Efex Pro for this. The ability to put together a slide show with images and video with output as a mov file is a great step forward. More printing options. I'm glad I didn't make the switch to Lightroom in frustration. If you do a lot of manipulation of your images ( I don't), you still need Photoshop. But for many image adjustments, Aperture is all I need. The face detection and GPS functions are nice to have but the big improvements in image control are very welcome improvements. And for $99 upgrade, it is well worth the price. Happy shooting, Richard Clompus, OD Sent from my iPhone On Feb 11, 2010, at 12:12 PM, Don Lawrence <DLawrence at fkp.com> wrote: > Anyone here given this a try yet? > Apple released the LX3 Raw too, finally. > >> From the specs, it looks like a good upgrade for $99. > The new slide show builder reminds me of the old (good) version of > imovie. > > Don Lawrence > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
