Like Motion I think it is a complementary product that in time will be a competitor. I have no doubt that Aperture will use Core Image which will blow away similar Photoshop filters.If it has a plug-in archetecture then eventually companies will write plug-ins for it or port Photoshop ones for it. I think Adobe will have competition on it's lazy hands. 'bout time too. On 10/19/05 3:58 PM, "Zane H.
