style='font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:normal'>“Round-trip Photoshop support.
Aperture lets you launch directly into Adobe Photoshop with a single-click.
There, you can take advantage of Photoshop’s strong compositing and layer
effects, and when you’re done making modifications, simply save the file.
Your modified image will automatically be added to your Aperture library as a
version of the original file, where you can manage it easily in a Project or
Album. “<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></h3>
<h3><b><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial;color:navy;font-weight:normal'>I can’t help but wonder
why a photographic program (Aperture) would advertise the benefits of using another
sepererate photographic program (Adobe Photoshop), and especially a program (Aperture)
listing for $500. This quote seems to be telling us that Photoshop is the
benchmark graphical image manipulation program. And this begs the
question; why do we need Aperture? For $500 I would expect Aperture to at
least attempt to compete with Photoshop, not glorify the benefit of Photoshop
instead.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></h3>
