My buddy, a professional wedding/portrait photographer, uses Aperture exclusively. I did some small 35mm work, scanned it and turned it over to him for a newsletter he was doing for a client of mine. I got to tell you I was very impressed with the capabilities when it ran me thru the palettes and showed me some of the tricks of the program. It's not a selection/layer type of program like PS, but it's color/saturation/brightness and levels abilities, (amongst others) and it's file handling is pretty sweet. It's more tuned in to the standard Photographers needs and not so much for the digital artist who really needs to manipulate/layer correct stuff. If I had a newer computer that could run it I'd buy it without a thought and it would be a perfect complement to PS as sometimes you just need a little revision, especially when working on a number of files.
