Aperture, the Application

Recently, Apple announced Aperture. A post-production tool for professional photographers. With support for a pure RAW workflow, as compared to having to convert from RAW to an intermediate format such as Photoshop's PSD, JPEG or TIFF. This lets you work with your RAW data as it is. It supports various RAW formats like my Nikon D2X NEF and Canon's RAW formats.

It also inherit's iPhoto's album management abilities, being able to group files by date, project or client among other possibilities. Aperture will also provide metadata support for the various RAW formats from shooting data via standard EXIF to ITPC data.

It also supports iPhoto's book designs and printing, with more formats available, even custom styles! This is one Apple product that will definitely find its way onto my computer.
