I have used CS 3-5 for several years on my PC’s so I am accustomed to having 500 plus mb files in my work flow. I am not sure if this is related but my Macbook/Aperture combination have a high degree of reluctance toward working with large files. The installation process took extremely long, 45 minutes, with the result that the new version would not start either? I believe the Epson Scan version that I started with was 3.1, I then downloaded from the Epson site 3.8. Scanning directly into Aperture with anything more than 100 dpi resulted in a black square in a project named “Image Scans” The basic acquisition app does not have much in the way of production tools as opposed to the Epson Scan app that comes from epson. I was able to acquire a 72 dpi scan using the image acquisition app on the Macbook.
