Using Aperture for a while now, it works great and I love it!. Then I upgraded to Lion. It is Terrible now! I wish I could go back and get rid of Lion so I can finish my current project. Super slow.

I'm in the middle of deciding between Photo Managers/Catalogers.

How significant was the speed difference?
You are attributing it to Lion?

Could it be a setting in Lion that is overanalyzing your photos?

I'm not running Lion, but if upgrade soon, I guess I want to know if that speed thing you talk about is insurmountable.

Tried the demo with some recent images.

My images are sorted by day, and I wanted to maintain this structure in Aperture as my workflow runs around daaily sets of images.

I created a new project but then I was unable to maintain my workflow of choice. I tried a couple of options in Aperture, creating folders etc within a project, but no go.

I don't use iPhoto for the same reason - I want to maintain my workflow and Aperture/iPhoto prevent/constrain me from working with my images how I want to.

Deleted Aperture after less than an hour, won't be back. Thanks for opportunity to test drive demo - appreciated.

Since there is clearly little changed since the previous version, I do wish Apple would put out a small updates instead of a huge complete file.

These seem like the exact same release notes from 3.2.1. Probably not an accurate list of what's new in 3.2.2.

Those are in fact the release notes from Aperture 3.2. The 3.2.2 update only lists one change:

This update resolves an issue that could prevent auto-imported Photo Stream images from being displayed in the library after your Photo Stream hits 1,000 images.

I don't know why but in 10.6.8 Software Update this is a 551MB download but here at MU it's only 292MB. Usually updates in Software Update are smaller than the 'manual' downloads as they can be customized somewhat based on what you already have installed. Oh well, I'm going to take the plunge with the download here and if you don't hear back then everything went OK. :)

Updating from 3.1.3 FYI

OK, the file size here at MU is wrong, when you start downloading it is in fact a 636MB download so it includes the upgrade 3.1.3 to 3.2.

Actually, according to this kb:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2518

I think you can update from any version of Aperture 3.x straight to 3.2.1.

I'm really excited now based on Surfspirit's comment below. Aperture has always been a dog slow embarrassment so let's hope this puts that to rest!

Finally!!! It now runs smoothly, way faster and does not crash, Next time Apple just test it better, a lot of nightmares until this 3.2.1 update, let's make this app even better and kick Adobe Lightroom, it still being better in Raw Support, and Lens profiler, but using Apple Aperture is a complete pleasure! Hope it evolves!

Yes, but with lot's of trouble, I had to completely uninstall aperture, and had to completely start a new library, and now I came here to see if others have problems, I have contacted apple and made a video of all the problems I had found, even iPhoto is more robust, today Aperture is not opening again, it crashes a few seconds later, don't waste your money on this, Apple is getting lame! Very Lame! I am completely making the transition to Adobe Lightroom, that has been rock solid and more powerful too, the only thing that I don't like in Lightroom is that is not easy to organize as Aperture but I admit is lot more powerful in this department also!

Why, why do I keep trusting software updates!?? Aperture was running great and now with 3.2 update it just crashes a few seconds/steps from startup, I have rebuilt the library in all the 3 options, I have redownload and install it and then updated, I have checked DiskUtility for file permissions problems, and it keeps crashing! I am going back to the last version until Apple SOLVES THIS!!!

Yazarim had trouble on 28 Apr 2010
Half very good application, hald disaster (but a real disaster).

A few days ago I discovered that at least 20 photos of mine (Raw + Tiff) had disappeared from their Aperture 3 project.

Why? Nobody knows. I uploaded them again from the DVD where the originals are (I have around 15.000 photos).

I have 14 photo albums on FaceBook, all of them uploaded through Aperture 3. Yesterday I discovered that they were GONE.

BEWARE: not from FaceBook, where everybody could see them, but from my Aperture 3 Library.

Now, if I looked inside Aperture Library through MediaBrowser or Desktop&Screensaver, they where perfectly visible and usable.

Why? God (possibly) knows, but I doubt.

I have lost all of today to destroy everything in Aperture 3 and restore an old Library from TimeMachine. Now everything seems to be there, but tomorrow?

Oh, my poor money...

I'm not sitting in front of my machine with aperture on it at the moment, but I too had the problem of photos mysteriously disappearing from projects. It turned out it resulted from using the places feature before returning to the project. This effectively filtered out any photos that had not been geotagged in the project. Just make sure that the filter box in the top right when you have a project selected that it's not filtering out certain images. Hope this helps!

Thanks - that tip worked for me too (want to try the trial version still).

I can't understand why Apple didn't make this fix more visible to trial users in a read me, or at least fix the installer to deal with this issue.

Why, in the sofware interface, the Library is still named "APERTURE 3 TRIAL LIBRARY"?
I have paid the 99 bucks, received the package (not simply the code) and installed it: INSTALLED, not simply inserted the code.
Anybody kindly knows? MTIA

You can rename your library whatever you want. It was called "Trial" when you set it up the first time, and purchasing a code will not cause Aperture to rename your library. Many users have multiple libraries with all sorts of names (Work, Home, Wedding, Travel, etc.).

Yes, it also says I do not have Aperture 3 installed and quits right after launch. I too have downloaded the demo version, for which I then bought a license in the Apple Store.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Grr, Aperture MobileMe Web Galleries still not showing up in iWeb (MobileMe Web Galleries created in iPhoto showing up just fine). Already emailed Apple about this and told that it was currently unsupported, figured that they'd fix it eventually! Guess not *shakes head slowly*

I installed 2.1.3 and I cannot get my albums into iWeb. I am a location scout working on a movie and this is really creating problems for me. I have not seen anything on the internet from Apple to remedy this and I need it fixed. To put out an update that creates this kind of a problem demands immediate response from Apple and it is not happening. Please help if you've found a cure.
