I run Aperture 3 and use to edit all of my photos, I just LOVE it! I can pull up a photo and edit it before Photoshop even loads! I haven't had any problems exporting or using the program at all, just a click and it's done, no waiting.

Not sure. You may have to check Apple's Support site or contact them directly. I have not had the problem you described. Another suggestion is to make sure you are using the latest version.

I'm not making a folder destination, I'm just exporting to the desktop . The version aperture exports to the desktop is the " unrevised " version of the photo ????

not sure, check to make sure that your folder destinations are correct. When using folder destinations, each time you go to do an export, if you do not change the folder destination to none, it will create a new folder with the same name and nest it in the first folder you did. So you will probably find your revised photo under the new folder.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with exporting " versions " ? after completing my post processing I attempt to export the revised image only to find that the exported version isn't the corrected image that I've just completed ......Am I missing something here ?

I've just discovered a very good use for the 'Spot & Patch' tool. I had a series of niggling dust spots on all of the images I took the other day. I Spotted and Patched 52 small dust marks on a test shot I took.....

....then copied the adjustments (as you would normally) the image I was working on. I guess if done sparingly this would work great...if done not sparingly then like anything could cause more problems.

I did notice that, the spot and patch tool on a areas of complicated details looks like a little fuzzy ring, but after you've copied from one image to the next you can remove the 'spots' individually to correct the second image.

The image I was working on...

Very useful!!

I've got an iMac 24" 2.4GHz, I've had to upgrade it to 4GB RAM to run mt Aperture 3, but it was well worth doing, Aperture 3 is great. I had a long debate between Lightrrom and A3. The Aperture upgrade cost me less than half that of Lightroom, which paid for the memory upgrade.

Beyond that of course, I really like Aperture, it a brill piece of software.

I'm using A3 and I'm very tired of the slooow performance. I use a MacBook pro 2.53 GHz with 4GB of ram. I don"t know if investing in 8GB for $500 would help or if I should switch to Lightroom with LR3 on the way.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
What systems are you people using? I can't take the spinning beach ball much longer.

I've just discovered that if you rename the Aperture 3 icon when you upgrade to avoid confusion with the Aperture 2 icon which doesn't disappear, then when you do software updates, they don't appear in the list and can't be applied, simply because of a name change! I've just had to ring support to get it sorted. I would have thought that when it upgrades it would automatically change the A2 icon to A3? Weird!

Paul. I learned early on not to use the aperture library to store photos. I either specified (during import) a new folder or copied them from the card to an folder named after the event. Then used the "Store In Current Location" option during import. This gives you the capability to use your photos with other programs, such as Adobe Photoshop and Bridge, Nikon CaptureNX, etc. This makes it easy to upgrade from version to version.
