Apple Aperture 1.5 offers 'enhancements across entire workflow'
Quote:
Apple is introducing version 1.5 of its professional image-editing and work-flow tool Aperture, building further on April's V1.1 overhaul of the much-criticised original. There is no price-cut this time, the SRP remains at £219 (inc VAT) - still about £30 more than in the USA - but the upgrade is free to V1.0 and V1.1 users.
Across-the-board enhancements are said to include "powerful" new adjustment tools and open library; "seamless" integration with iLife '06 and iWork '06; support for XMP metadata; and an export API that "makes it easy" to extend the Aperture workflow to third-party applications and services.
Significantly, Apple claims that managing RAW, JPEG and TIFF images in Aperture 1.5 is "incredibly flexible". The new open library system is said to allow images to be stored wherever the photographer wants. That can be within the Aperture library itself or on external hard drives, CDs or DVDs.
