However, I have to say that this feature wasn't working properly: the map took ages to load and controls were over-sensitive – which made map navigation a real pain.
But Aperture goes a step beyond and also includes Places, another special technology that geolocates your images using the information stored in metadata by some cameras. This new version includes Faces, the popular facial recognition technology implemented in the last version of iPhoto.
When I said Aperture was a bit like iPhoto, I wasn't exaggerating. When ready, sit back and enjoy them in a fullscreen slideshow, or use them in various creative projects such as a book, an album or a web gallery.
Aperture lets you import images from various resources (including your photo camera), organize them in an intuitive way and optimize or fix them if necessary.
