I think you are right about its current version. People have
indicated that it has lots of potential if Apple works on it and
changes the stupid data base. Adobe releasing a beta is kind of
unusual I think, and I think that the fact that the beta is the Mac
version probably indicates some sort of concern at Adobe.
Reichmann did not much like Aperture either. It sounds more like a
beta than Lightroom. There is a nice discussion of using Lightroom on
his site:
