Aperture isn't dead

The last few days have been a real roller coaster for Aperture. Has it been scrapped? Did Apple rush it out the door? Will we ever seen an update for it?

Well, today we saw the release of Aperture 1.1.1, and that is a good sign. Continuing on that trend John Gruber, that Daring Fireball, pestered his sources at Apple until they finally told him that none of the engineers on the Aperture team were fired; they all left the project because of lousy management (the manager was fired though).

Finally, Maccentral sat down with Kirk Paulsen (the Senior Director of Pro Applications Marketing at Apple) and he assured Maccentral that Aperture is alive and well.

So, fear not prosumer/pro photogs, go forth and Aperture!
