Aperture 3.0.2 seems to be ready to prime time, I ran 64 bit yesterday editing some photos and no crashes!

I too have switch from Lightroom to Aperture 3 and i’am loving it.

Here are some hints I have picked up along the way.
1. Run Aperture 3 in 32bit mode, I have found it crashes far less. Get Info on Aperture in the Application folder to find the 32 bit switch.
2. Turn off Faces unless you really want to use that feature, its in Preferences.
3. If you are importing multiple cards, restart Aperture 3 after the import of the last card, Aperture 3 may process the files multiple times if you don’t.

I have a bunch of information on my site http://BokehBrothers.com regarding Aperture 3.

Are you sure there’s competition? It would be an interesting stat to compare the number of users of each app.

I’ve used Aperture since 1.0 and could never really see what all the Lightroom fuss was about. I have gripes with Aperture, especially the way 3.x handles permissions, but on the whole have been very happy.

mention Adobe on Twitter & you’ll get a response from them there too… they’re pretty good about monitoring activity

Hey, I’m going to jump in here while Adobe are listening , we [all RE & Arch shooters] would very much appreciate lens distortion correction to RAW files, without having to burn tiffs or whatever and go through PTLens or DxO.
