Apple Releases Aperture 3
Apple today announced Aperture 3, the long-awaited updated to its prosumer photo editing and management application. There are over 200 new features, many of which borrow from and expand on features found in iPhoto ’09.
It’s been two years since the release of Aperture 2, and this new version is a sleek balance between evolution and revolution. Aperture 3 combines powerful performance with iPhoto simplicity to help you refine images, showcase your photography, and manage massive libraries on your Mac. The 200 new features and enhancement will help take your photography to the next level. Edge-aware, nondestructive brushes will help apply or remove adjustments; adjustment presets will give your images a custom look or emulate a variety of camera types and processing styles; advanced slidewhows will help create beautiful slideshows that weave together photos and HD video clips; full-screen browsing takes advantage of every last pixel on beautiful Apple displays; and upgraders from iPhoto will appreciate that Faces, Places, and all metadata will be preserved when importing an iPhoto library.
Aperture will be ready to demo in our retail stores this afternoon. Swing by and take it for a spin!
