Apple today released Aperture 3, an upgrade to their Aperture cataloging and raw processing software. By Apple’s numbers it boasts over 200 new features, and some of them are definitely keeping the competition alive between Aperture and Lightroom.

Aperture 3 retains the pricing of the previous version, $199 for the full version and $99 for upgrades. As always, discounts are available from the Apple Online Store for qualifying association members. (Check with your association for details and your custom Apple Store URL.)
