With only one image in the library any adjustment I made to the photo took 2 seconds or more for the preview image to update. On the same machine the same adjustments in DPP or PS CS3 are pretty much instant. Sorry Apple, I'll stick with iPhoto/PS/DPP. Maybe it's OK on a Mac Pro but for me it was pretty hopeless.

I've never used iPhoto so can't comment, but I've heard that it's a straightforward thing to import your library.

I haven't tried Aperture 3.0 in 32bit so can't comment about the speed, but the good news is that if you have plugins which are critical to your workflow, then you can use Aperture 3.0 in 32bit until the plugin developer brings out their 64bit updates.edmond terakopianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00716085879608014012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3609566398605760171.post-48558779176881494932010-02-09T19:07:44.172+00:002010-02-09T19:07:44.172+00:00What is your experience with 3rd-party plugins.
