With Apple’s release of Aperture 2.0 I was stoked to read that the main concern and upgrade was operating speed. The biggest downfall of 1.5.x. I, being an Aperture early adapter, using it since its initial release was “wicked happy” to hear about this. I also recently had a lot of fun playing around with Aperture using the new Tether feature!

Tethered shooting support

Connect a supported camera directly to your Mac via FireWire or USB, controlling it using the Tether HUD. Aperture saves captured images in a selected project and displays them onscreen, allowing you to review them and make lighting or other changes before committing to the shot.

Gathered, tethering is not a new concept- but it’s totally sweet to see all these awesome features come together into one program for ultimate project management happiness.
