Despite all the new goodies in iPhoto '08, such as event-based organization, I'm most pleased with the overhauled Adjust palette. There are real Levels controls similar to those in Photoshop, Highlights and Shadows sliders, and Noise adjustment (particularly handy for compact camera shooters at high ISOs).
This brings iPhoto's Adjust palette up to snuff with other modern photo management tools. If you want more details about the specific image editing tools in iPhoto, I'll walk you through them here. iPhoto '08 is part of the new iLife suite of applications. The entire bundle is available now for $79 at Apple.com.

Incidentally, said update was 129 MB. Huge. I suppose they must just seed a new copy of the entire app, rather than a patch. (Bummer because I was initially excited upon seeing the file size)
Well, Aperture got a bump last night (found in Software Update) from 1.5.3 to 1.5.4 with no release notes that I could find, other than a general "required for compatibility with iLife '08" or somesuch.
I sure hope there's more coming down the pipe.
So whats up with aperture then?
