No Comments
At the Photokina conference in Germany Monday, Apple responded to the release of Lightroom Beta 4 with a major update to its own RAW image processing software. Aperture 1.5 brings to the table a new library and integration with iLife and iWork.
Other new features include XMP metadata support and an export API that enables third parties to build Aperture support into their applications. Apple has also added adjustment options, including a luminance-based Edge Sharpen filter for high-quality sharpening and a new Color tool. Aperture's Loupe magnifier has also been enhanced. Version 1.5 will be available this week as a free upgrade for Aperture 1.0 users, and cost $299 USD from the Apple Store.
