OK, so sorry for the terrible photography pun there folks, but I’m in a good mood today and therefore you lovely readers get all my most cheesy puns!
So, Apple have a little ‘pro’ photography app called Aperture and they’ve just updated this to version 2.0, which from reading various blogs and hearing photographers on various podcasts, is about time.
So what’s new in version 2, well according to MacWorld UK (I have never used Aperture, so I apologise if I don’t get the impact of some of these features) there’s over 100 new features, a new lower price of £129, which makes it a more reasonable upgrade from iPhoto, and some very nice integration with iWork, iLife and OS X itself.
Another new feature added to this release is that Aperture can now export to your .mac web gallery page, meaning you can enjoy the power of Aperture for editing and tagging your photos, but still have the easy publishing setup with web gallery.
I’ll be honest and say I’ve never really gotten into the whole photography thing, but I would like to, so I’m going to download the trial of Aperture, which can be found on the Apple website, and have a play, I’ll bring you some more thoughts and see what comes of it, I know my dad is wanting to do more with is Fuji S7000 DSLR, so it may be a fun project!
