Apple Aperture 2 Cop-out
It seems Apple has a cop-out for the Aperture 2 problem I found (aside from slowness now):
Wow. Are they serious? Note the date on that is October 14, 2009. Let me see if I get this straight. So, there’s a bug in your software (or OS, it used to work for me before just fine in Leopard), and the excuse is – “Oh, we never really supported grayscale!” Uh… then why does the UI seem to get it otherwise? Wait, was it that you just went that extra mile to make it work, but just not in a supported way?
Just in case that link ever goes away, let’s recap the excuse:
Aperture is designed to work with images from digital cameras which use an RGB color space. Non RGB images, such as grayscale TIFFs, grayscale PNGs, or RGB-A images (with alpha transparency) may not render correctly.
Are they serious? I sent in feedback and stated that I expected my money back.
