"Along with the usual stuff like messing with the white balance, applying filters and creating albums, there's a lot of new, neat features too. Face recongition and geotagging (and the organization thereof) are the two main 'contemporary' additions, while some nice new brushes are great for touching up photos."

Aren't all those features [except perhaps the brushes] in iPhoto already? I it might be nice to know what about Aperture 3 makes it worth $120 more than iPhoto '09.

Well, have a look at the complete feature list :)

I'm sure, if anything, Aperture 3 is more SHINY, and thus appealing to Apple users...

iPhoto editing tools aren't non-destructive like Aperture (and Lightroom). Instead it creates a "modified" jpeg, and applies changes to that duplicate file, effectively (almost) doubling the size of your iPhoto library.

Also I found that iPhoto ('09) uses way more system resources than Aperture (2.x) does on the same library (1k jpeg and 3k raw images).

Aperture's organizing tools are much better than iPhoto (and Lightroom imo) too.

Thanks for the info :)

Yeah, the organization side of it looks really impressive!
