The future of Aperture? Does it exist?

there is a simple way to prove that Aperture does (as I believe) or doesn't do the same lens correction that the camera does.

shoot in RAW plus JPEG and import both into Aperture... if they are different in terms of distortion then Aperture is not doing all the correction that the camera RAW to JPEG conversion does.

What Aperture doesn't offer is any degree of control over the distortion correction... you get the same as the camera manufacturer decided was correct.

I am sure there will be an Aperture 4... no idea what it would offer that would fundementally improve my PP... Aperture 3 provides pretty much all the tools you will ever need
