Apple Finally Releases Aperture 3

After a two year wait Apple has finally released a new version of Aperture. The release has over 200 new features and I’m still absorbing all the information, but it looks like a great upgrade. It addresses the two biggest concerns people had about the previous version, which were the lack of a curves editor and the lack of adjustment presets. Both of which it now has, but goes one step further by having an “extended range” curves tool which lets you work with the full range of raw data.

There are tons of other great new features in it including some excellent GPS logging tools, a great new mobile workflow with the ability to sync libraries between a laptop and desktop, a very high end slideshow tool which can work with video as well as stills and audio. I’ll write a more detailed post when I get more time but for the moment Macworld has a good write up. Also, check out some of the Aperture in Action videos on Apple’s website. Oh, and so much for that Apertuere X Rumour. Told you so.
