This appears to be a new topic, so here it is, moved here. Asher
After having updated Aperture to V1.5, I don't believe that it would be very good advertising were this software made available to the Windows platform. I am both dismayed and surprised that a company that can produce an OS as excellent as Mac OSX could come out with such a poorly functioning program.
I find that the program continues to be slow even with just one small project of a few (1Ds Mk2) images. It is an understatement to say that I continue to be disappointed. My primary interest is in getting what I consider optimal Raw conversions of a limited number of images at a given time, something I've been doing now for almost four years with a number of converters (primarily C1, on occasion DPP, ACR and now Lightroom beta 4). The user interface seems more intended as an exercise in self-advertisement than to take the user into account. The font sizes in dialogue boxes and panels illustrate this, as does the procrustean format of the panels and the main program window which does not appear to remember how it has been configured from one session to the next. I have not succeeded in finding a way to export a version in the background (C1 has been doing this for 4 years and Lightroom also affords this capability) so that I can continue working on images. There appear to be so many glitches in the glitter. The tonal correction capabilities are to my mind inferior to Lightroom and ACR.
