The Washington Times reviews Apple’s Aperture 3: Solid app for serious amateur and pro photogs

Tuesday, March 16, 2010 - 04:53 PM EDT

"If, like many computer users, you're wrestling with hundreds or even thousands of digital images, Apple Inc.'s Aperture 3, released a few weeks ago, can help you make sense of it all," Mark Kellner reports for The Washington Times. "The $199 program (trial version available) is designed for Apple's computers running Mac OS X, either version 10.5.8 or 10.6.2."

"Aperture 3 is positioned as the next step up from Apple's iPhoto, a 'standard' feature of every new Mac sold these days. iPhoto is a neat application, to be sure, a great way to import, organize, touch up and share photos. But serious digital photographers will want more than iPhoto's capabilities, more in the way of cataloging, more sharing options, even a few more sophisticated ways to view and edit photos," Kellner reports. "If you've been using iPhoto for a while, Aperature 3 will import your iPhoto library, and keep all the groupings, taggings, face identifications and other things you've already done."

Kellner reports, "Apple says Aperature 3 contains 'dozens of ready-to-use adjustment presets' that allow users to 'apply professional-style imaging effects to a single photo or across an entire project.' I believe them: There are lots of ways to edit, enhance and recast an image, tools that are sophisticated in many ways... Aperture 3 is a solid program for serious amateur photographers as well as many professional types. Apple has a strong contender, one which I'm sure will attract renewed attention from Adobe and other rivals."
