It exists for the "Archive" arena within Photoshelter. I have a feeling PS wants people to buy space in "Archiveæ, then transfer to "Collection", but it would be much easier to uploade directly to PSC from within Aperture, which would only increase sales in PSC. Thanks. Any word on Aperture plug-in to upload directly to Photoshelter's new stock arena "Collection"?

I swear the only reason I use Photoshop on my images anymore is for Noiseware (greatest noise reduction software ever). If I could have that control within Aperture, I'm not sure I would ever use Photoshop again. I also agree that I think the color controls we've just seen added to Final Cut will hopefully make their way into Aperture in some way. That amount of color control would be amazing. Still a bit limited in color control with 1.5.6. I'm hoping for plug-ins. I swear the only reason I use Photoshop on my images anymore is for Noiseware (greatest noise reduction software ever).

We will most likely witness a progression similar to early Final Cut software. How it matured and gained it's ground (Adobe). Based on a hardware historical syntax, I think Apple will be the first to launch a true 10-bit color environment, done with no LUT (look-up-table) sampling. On the Apple hardware side we'll see new Cinema Displays with some very high color gamut + DisplayPort. With the use of new DisplayPort supported GPU's (in next MacBook Pro?) they will be now be able to handle the massive 10-bit data throughput. At the moment companies like NEC and Eizo uses typically a 8-12-8 bit LUT path in their very high-end pro monitors to aim to better control the high gamut colors. This is not at all ideal compared to a straight 10-10-10 path with no complicated, hardware assisted GUI to master. And here comes MY prediction: Apple acquired Silicon Color some time back and will now give us truely amazing color correction capabilities in 10-bit, as we have seen them implement it in the last iteration of Final Cut. I believe that it will pale the competition for some time, since they will be the only company able to offer the whole package! Color Galore !

Prior to 1.5, I had been under NDA and working with pre-release builds to port FlickrExport over from iPhoto to Aperture. Since that time I have received no privileged information from Apple on Aperture. I have provided my feedback to the Aperture team both as a developer and user of the app but have not had any feedback on these ideas beyond a "Thank You". I'm as anxious for 2.0 as anyone else - as long as they don't build Flickr in!
