Oh my! Aperture 2.0 is out and it looks like Apple listened to users!

I just saw that on my iPhone (and yes, the Apple website is quite usable on an iPhone using EDGE), Aperture 2.0 is out and the list of “100+ new features” makes apparent that Apple has been listening to users.
My favorites at first glance are:
- All-in-one Inspector and HUD
- Metadata entry shortcut
- All Projects view
- Broad camera support /Baseline DNG support (yes, that’s cool, it means that even if you do not have your new camera supported natively, you can use a DNG to work from, and then when support is added, switch to RAW)
- Quick Preview mode
- Recovery control
- Vibrancy
- Devignette adjustments
- Lift only adjustments
- Duplicate detection on import
- Support for lens metadata (YAY!)
- Extended search logic in Query HUD/Keyword filtering options in Query HUD
- Reconnect override
- Tethered shooting support
- Background image export
So, that comes perfectly along with my previous post… And yes, we now have a solution that allows users to work with their “RAW” files even if the RAW format is not supported by Aperture yet (DNG)…
I’ll buy the upgrade and post some more details as I get to use that welcome 2.0.
