Excellent upgrade, faster and nicer, but users have been asking for white balance for ages now and it's still not in there. Was a bit disappointed by that. Cheers, Ian

I was evaluating it when I ended up with Aperture 2 last year. I was completely stunned when I realised it didn't have WB adjustment. -- Andy Hewitt <http://web.me.com/andrewhewitt1/>
