I start with setting the black and white points first, then do the rest.

What I can't get is why they moved the 'auto' buttons onto the relevant
tabs, but then moved all the presets from the tabs into the drop-down
menu at the top. That's just weird.

Only in emergency :-)

Well, I couldn't resist any longer. After trying out for a couple more
days, and learning about the issues, and how to work around them, I
succumbed to the gleam of the shiny new version. All too easy really,
Trial installed, go to store, buy serial number, now it's converting the
Library.

After comparing images edited in both V2 and V3, there's no doubt that
V3 is better. The new brushes are very good, and I was particularly
impressed with the sharpen brush. Startup and quit are much faster,
although that was with a very small Library. Adjusters work well enough
to be quite usable.

There are some glitches, but so far nothing that can't be worked around
for now.

I'm trying it out too. The only serious issue I've had so far is that
some JPEGs that worked perfectly in Aperture 2 don't in Aperture 3 (they
were taken about ten years ago, using a Digital Dream L'Espion camera.
Probably Aperture thinks they're beneath it).

What doesn't 'work' about them?

(Random coloured vertical stripes, instead of pictures. I think the one
that did work in that selection was a low-resolution (hah) image from
the same camera.)
