private thoughts on different things

February 19th, 2010

Congratulations Apple! You have finally made it happen. A few days ago apple launched the third version of its pro photo software. So, as I’m using Aperture since Version 1.5 and was using version 2 there was no question whether to upgrade or not, esp. at a price of 99 Euro. A few days ago I ordered the package and today it arrived. I took the time, prior to the upgrade, to tidy up my MacBook Pro’s HD and get rid of some ballast ;-)

The upgrade process itself was no problem in terms of upgrading the software itself. Finally the startup dialog told me that I had to upgrade my library in order to work properly with the newly version 3. Of cause I agreed, since I was pretty much interested of being able to use all the nice brush features that were advertised. But then I could hardly believe my eyes: A popup told the that I was not having enough HD capacity for the upgrade. To tell it in numbers: my library is about 60 GB whereas I still have 48 GB left on my drive… Do I get it right? The upgrade needs more than two thirds of the old library size as temporary space? Damned! I’m en route and forgot my external HD :-( But I will keep you informed about my upgrade procedure when I’m back…
