Apple has got Aperture 2 out now. There is an upgrade price for us Aperture 1.5x users, so I’m thinking that the Education price on this is going to be pretty good as well. It looks like the minimum specs are about the same, so older hardware should be able to run it… not fast mind you, but it should be usable.
Thankfully there is also a free trial available so you can try before you buy.
The improvements seem to be the typical second gen list – better interface, better workflow, better integration. The ones that I am looking forward to include highlight recovery, vignetting support as well as “cold pixel” spotting (all black, so you can balance with all white hot pixels).
Hopefully I can get my order in soon.
