Ars review and disappointment...
Authored by: bethri on Dec 12, '05 12:58:35PM

The ars guy completely "got" it.

Aperture is being pitched as a high-end workflow tool for professionals and, as such, quality is pretty much the make-or-break feature. Aperture's RAW conversions are absolutely terrible compared with all other converters I have experience with, AND it won't allow you to send RAW files direct to another app (say Photoshop's ACR) without a complex export/re-import process. the built-in, "Open with..." command does the RAW conversion in Aperture and sends a 16bit TIFF.

In short, neither workflow or quality are improved. Aperture has a lot of potential, and I for one was hoping it was the tool we'd been waiting for, but so far it's a big disappointment.
