Apple Announces Aperture Photo Software
October 22, 2005
Cuptertino, CA - Apple Computer announced photo processing application Aperture ($499) that they say is "the first all-in-one post-production tool for photographers."
Featuring a RAW-focused workflow, Aperture is designed to make RAW as easy as JPEG, letting you import, edit, catalog, organize, retouch, publish, and archive your images effectively and efficiently. From capture to output, you work directly with your RAW files, never having to first convert them into another format before viewing, adjusting, organizing, or printing them.
Aperture supports the RAW formats from all leading digital camera manufacturers (including Canon and Nikon) and provides optimized support for such cameras as the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II, Canon EOS 20D, and Nikon D2x as well as the highly popular Canon Digital Rebel and Nikon D50. It also supports the Adobe DNG format.
Other Features According to Apple:
Professional project management
Aperture’s flexible, project-based structure features extensive metadata support, hierarchical keywording and powerful search capabilities.
Powerful compare and select tools
Quickly organize, rate and edit a large photo shoot down to your best shots, and compare multiple images side by side.
Nondestructive image processing
Aperture never alters a single pixel of your master images, so you can experiment freely with multiple versions.
Versatile printing and publishing
Professional-caliber output includes advanced color-managed printing as well as custom-printed books and web pages.
