The software now has the ability to bring up all the photos in your collection with a particular face.

Of course, all the old features of Aperture are still there. The software is great for both professionals and seasoned amateurs. If you have Aperture 2, you can also buy an Apple Aperture 3 upgrade [$94.99] for a much lower price.
