If you’re an Aperture user frustrated with your Mac’s inability to read your new camera’s RAW shots, Apple has just sent their latest Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update slaloming down the Software Update chute, emblazoned with the version number 3.3. Most of these cameras are micro four-thirds or similarly mirrorless cameras. The update adds native [...]

Apple lent me a MacBook Pro a couple of weeks back to try out the latest version of Aperture. The timing was great since I was taking that photography class as well and I could do the post on Aperture 3.0 afterwards.

The addition of iOS 4 background location…

Panasonic just announced the addition of a new wide-angle, 5x zoom camera to their line, the slim Lumix FX75. Somewhat notable here is the ultra-wide 24mm lens equivalent on this camera, but we like the wide-open f2.2 aperture even more — definitely on the fast side of the spectrum for a PnS, and pretty nifty for [...]

Apple updated its entry-level MacBook line this week and we finally published our Aperture 3 review. What else happened this week in Apple? Read on for the summary.

Aperture 3: The Ars Review: The latest version of Aperture, Apple's flagship photo editing application, contains a host of new features and tweaks, including automatic face recognition, GPS support, and retouch brushes. Ars puts Aperture through its paces, to see if it's a worthy upgrade.

Aperture 3.0 came out a few months ago, so you're probably wondering why this review is so late. I had hoped to do a simultaneous review of Lightroom 3 and Aperture 3, but I was thinking that Lightroom 3 would come out at the same time as the CS5 applications, which came out just recently. It now looks like Lightroom 3 is not due out until June or July, judging from the winds (that's hippy talk for "when the beta program expires"). Anyway, it's better that we waited, since Photoshop CS5 includes Adobe Camera RAW 6 and the noise reduction improvements that are going to be included in Lightroom 3. It also gave Apple a bit of time to clear up some bugs with the release, so we're reviewing version 3.0.3 here.
