I've been pretty disappointed and annoyed with the Aperture team's handling of RAW conversion services so far. While there's a lot good in Aperture, this area I believe they have made some serious mistakes in design. Besides, for a professional product, I want control of all aspects of my work and don't give a hoot that they've build a profile...
