Aperture 2 impresses CNET Editor

Aperture 2 impresses CNET Editor: "‘Apple has done well with Aperture 2.0, based on my test of ingesting and editing a batch of my own photos on a dual-core iMac,’ remarks Stephen Shankland in a recent article on CNET. And, he points out, he’s not the only one to notice the dramatic performance gains: ‘I feel like someone snuck a new CPU into my machine,’ gushed photographer Josh Anon in a Wednesday blog posting.’ ‘On top of a general performance boost,’ Shankland continues, Aperture 2 delivers ‘a new preview mode that specifically emphasizes speed,’ an entirely ‘new raw-processing engine’ that delivers significant advantages, and a variety of other new features, as well."
