Aperture Alive?

Yes, an Aperture plug-in for less money would be preferred. I don't like aperture's limitation of only one external editor, even though multiple plug-ins are allowed. I like to keep PS as my external editor. I would like to achieve PhotoNinja's look with an aperture preset, but I have yet to achieve that -- especially in the area of detail enhancement - PN just looks better.

Anyway, the $129 is scaring me away for now, although I definitely like the one click fix of PN.

One has to keep grappling through the forum to keep an eye out for these little gems like your post on PN.

Take care and thanks for sharing info on PN
