When you place the graduated effect in LR, you can change the strength of the gradient and the angle afterwards; not something you'll be able to do quickly and easily with a brush!

Those who know me will be please to know that is does support the Leica D-Lux 4. For me, this is a big deal. It (and its Panasonic brethren) have not been supported by Apple until now, which means that RAW files have been unusable in Aperture (and indeed any software which uses Apple’s RAW APIs). I am really happy to see that Aperture 3 has addressed this. Up until yesterday, I was considering a jump to Lightroom. Obviously, the Aperture upgrade price is far, far better than a Lightroom purchase. As for the Graduated Filters, I can’t find them either, but you CAN brush adjustments using a brush with a lot of feathering, which may do the job. I’ve got the download trial too.

I won't be jumping just yet, preferring to wait for the first x.0.1 round of bug fixes that inevitably follow a release. I also want to see what other Aperture users find, and whether there is any benefit to also upgrading my OS to get the 64-bit goodness. (Can my MBP even do 64-bit. Hmm, don't think it can. Bum.) It is a little disappointing the graduated filters isn't in Aperture, this is true. It's a feature I've heard and read a lot about in Lightroom, and I was sort of hoping it might make an appearance. Still, it might appear in a future update. Loads of new features crept in during Aperture 2's lifecycle. I’m already into the Aperture world, so I can only comment from that side of the fence.

I had a quick glance through the Aperture new features page on the Apple 'site but couldn't see anything approaching this function in Lr2. Is there no graduated filter available in Aperture?
