Aperture 1.5.2 addresses issues related to overall reliability and performance in a number of areas, including:

Contact sheet printing
Smart Albums
Watermarks
Lift and stamp
Image export
Versions created using an external editor
This update is recommended for all Aperture users.

Note: If you haven't already done so, it is strongly recommended that you also download the Digital Camera RAW Support Update 1.0.1, which is available on the Apple Downloads support page at Apple - Support - Downloads.

The Digital Camera RAW Support Update provides RAW file format compatibility for the following digital SLR cameras:

Canon Digital Rebel XTi / 400D / Kiss X Digital
Nikon D80
Pentax *ist DS
The Digital Camera RAW Support Update also addresses the following issues:

Handling of large Canon RAW files (.CRW)
DNG compatibility on Intel-based Macintosh computers
Lines sometimes appearing in images exported from Aperture

One question: How do I know if I have that camera raw update ? Don't they normally come with the OS. I recall seeing that when 1.5.1 came out.

Installed yesterday on my Quad but have not used yet. I would check it out now on my MBP at work but 129MB over a 3G mobile connection might be pushing it!

I thought the Camera Raw updates came our in Software Update as well. I guess we will just have to download and try to install it.

I want to see if this work they have done on Contact Sheets now gives us a bit more versatility in printing multiple photos at specific sizes. It is difficult to understand why Apple has provided no support in printing multiple photos to an A4 or similar page at a preset size i.e. 3 or 4 6x4s to a page.

Admittedly, I have solved this by creating, through trial and error, some custom book pages with frames for my common sizes (6x4 portrait, 4x6 landscape, same again for 7x5 and 7x5.5 plus some smaller 2x2s and similar for custom frames). However, this surely must be a common requirement and Apple pretty much has the place to do it with contact sheets (I know that Contact sheets are really for quick previews/proofing). Let's just hope they have sorted it (or will do in the near future)!
