Aperture 1.1

Today Apple announced the release of Aperture 1.1, which is a Universal Binary. They also dropped the price of Aperture down to $299 (previously it was $499) and are offering those who bought version 1.0 of Aperture a $200 coupon.

For a photographer like me, I always thought that $499 was a large chunk of change to drop on a photo program, especially since programs like Photoshop Elements, Picasa and the free (while it's in Beta) Adobe Lightroom did many of the same functions that Aperture did. At $299, it's still a rather pricy tool, but I'll wait to see what the retail pricing of Lightroom is before I decide which photo processing program I go with.
