That is the main reason Apple had to develop Aperture as an pseudo "Pro" app, there was no way they could sell iPhoto as complete package against Elements or CS4. > >> I've tried Gimp, just to see what it does, but I had the advantage of >> being an experienced Photoshop user and could figure things out from >> that knowledge.
