Aperture 2

Posted on by wrote in Apple News.

On Tuesday, Apple released Aperture 2. This is a dramatic (and some might say overdue) update to the popular image management and editing program. Aperture 2 has more than 100 new features that make it much faster, easier to use, and more powerful.

These features are built around a streamlined user interface, with accelerated performance, an optimized database, and a new Quick Preview mode for rapid-fire browsing. There are also new advanced image processing tools such as Recovery, Vibrancy, Vignette, and a soft-edged Retouch brush.

You can read more and pre-order Aperture 2 for $199.00 with free shipping.

An upgrade is available for $99.99; it’s also available for pre-order with free shipping.

A 30-day trial can be downloaded for free from Apple.com. Check it out by clicking here

Apple has provided a free Aperture 2 Compatibility Checker that can be downloaded before ordering the upgrade. You can see this here:

    You raise a valid point. Too bad you use an irrational argument in your otherwise well-written posting:

    “A couple of years ago, Apple started an optional computer take-back recycling program …. Almost as soon as Apple had to bear the cost of recycling their own products, their products became greener, cleaner, and easier and cheaper to recycle. During the same timeframe, Apple’s revenues and market share have shot through the roof. …”

    All of which may be true but it suggests that the recycling led to the greener products and the increased revenues. That might be true but it’s not likely. More likely the recycling and greener product content were driven by the same factors, and the revenues were more related to their products and marketing.

    I think it’s a shame when otherwise reasonable points of view use illogical arguments to make their points.
