Question- Aperture 2/Lion

Quick question for you guys (and girls).
Anyone know if Aperture 2 is compatible with Lion?
I have an iMac 24" al. running Lion and just picked up a still factory wrapped full install of Aperture 2 for $30 and was going to upgrade to Aperture 3, that way I only have $130 into Ap3 instead of the $200 full install.

???

I'd suggest re-selling the copy of Aperture 2 for what you can get for it. Aperture 3 is only $80 on the App store and can be installed on every Mac you own (up to 5 I think) that uses your Apple ID.

The $200 boxed version can only be installed on 2 computers - one notebook and one desktop.

Right on. That's what I will do. Thanks!

Hey! Anyone want to buy a Factory wrapped Aperture 2? Ha!

Checking the App Store is a must before purchasing any software now. Just being able to install on all your Macs and not worrying about single licenses is a big plus - not to mention, Apple is not the only one that's reduced their prices when purchasing in the App Store either.

A big +1 to that.
I have an upgrade code for Scrivenor that I have been sitting on for a month (or more) and have finally decided not to use. It will cost me $20 bucks more to just rebuy the newest version from the App Store, but the convenience and portability is worth it.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the only issue with buying Aperture on the app store is when there is an upgrade, you can't upgrade it, you need to buy the new product.

To answer the original question, yes. Aperture 2 is compatible with Lion. I just got through installing it on the Lion OS and it works fine.

It installed easy with no hiccups.

I have aperture 2 on my mbp. Just upgraded to Lion. Aperture works fine. However, some software from Nik Software will crash aperture 2 when i try to use it.

Check Nik for updates, although I believe they state that it's generally install issues. Perhaps an uninstall/reinstall will help with the crashes.

Thanks mike.
I was going try that but when i insert the disk. I get a message that the disk is blank.
