Aperture 3.1 and OS 10.6.5

Folks running Aperture should be sure to update to 3.1 and OS 10.6.5

Aperure is incredibly fast with these upgrades.

A little kink I noticed, is that when exporting to CS5 as my external editor, CS5 now must be in 64bit mode. CS5 Freezes up in 32 bit mode when exporting from Aperture just after CS5 opens. If you need to use CS5 in 32 bit you have to export the image to the desktop first and then open in PS

And we wonder why Apple and Adobe have verbal wars in public. You'd think Apple purposely does that just to screw with Adobe. And of course many plugins won't work with Adobe in 64bit mode. Good thing I threw out Aperture in favor of Capture One, which is so off the Apple radar, it just works!

Does Aperture work with the D7000 NEF yet?

Well it's really not a huge problem (at least for me), now that all the plug-ins I use are finally upgrading to 64-bit, I don't need to use CS5 in 32 bit much anymore.

No for the D7000, I still have to use NX2 for RAW conversion before importing into Aperture, an extra step but not a deal breaker. Interestingly videos load without any issues, and for quick basic video editing for quick office use, works great. Also with the D7000 for the use in the office etc, I shoot JPEG which load to Aperture without a problem. I don't use PS in the office.

But yes Apple do not seem to rush their RAW updates as Adobe does.

For me these are minor issues as Aperture overall really just works for me, and it's very fast and stable right now.

Video is just H.264, so there shouldn't be any problems.
