Got this in my email a few hours ago...

On April 13, 2006, Apple released Aperture 1.1, the first Universal version of Aperture and a significant update to the revolutionary all-in-one post-production tool for photographers. In addition, Apple lowered the price of Aperture from $499 to $299. Apple is offering a $200 e-coupon for use at the online Apple Store to licensed users of Aperture 1.0. Licensed users of Aperture 1.0 Academic will receive a $100 e-coupon.

Buggest changes seem to be a "new and improved" RAW processing engine that they claim will give "significantly better image quality" and support for layered .PSD files, so you can view your edited versions alongside the originals.

And of course the $200 price drop. They are offering current 1.0 owners a free upgrade and a $200 credit to be used at Apple Store.

Anyone think they were feeling the pressure from Lightroom? I'm using the free public beta now, because it was impossible to justify Aperture's $500 price tag. Now that it's in the realm of CS2 and some other 'essential' tools, I'm not so sure that I can't convince myself to stay away.

Gah! Decisions, decisions. :)
