Although I already bought Aperture 3.0, I’ve been waiting to install it after hearing about how buggy the release was.
Well, luckily I haven’t had to wait long as Apple has already come out with their first bug fix update for it.
Looks like lots of important fixes in here.
Makes you wonder why Apple didn’t just hold the release until they had cleaned it up to a higher quality. Certainly all of these problems weren’t unknown when they went gold?
The real question now is whether enough has been fixed to install.
