Apple Aperture 1.0.1
Posted by Jeremy Charette in "SOFTWARE" @ 07:00 AM
"Apple has updated its professional photo application, Aperture. Version 1.0.1 includes improved white balance adjustment accuracy and performance, image export quality, book and print ordering reliability, auto-stacking performance and custom paper size handling. The update is available as a 11 MB download. Also of interest to anyone investingating Aperture will be Imaging-Resource's excellent 'Aperture Diary' which is a hands-on look at how Aperture fits into a day by day workflow."
It's a minor update, but it appears as though Apple is responding quickly to customers' reliability concerns. I still find it interesting that Apple took the time and effort to develop a competitor to Photoshop. Why not just buy the Photoshop brand and bring it in house? Most of the reviews of Aperture that I've read portray it as a capable product for the masses. Sort of an in-between product with the advanced capabilities of Photoshop Pro, but for users who don't want to take the time to learn how to use all of those advanced features.
