Aperture 1.5

The first all-in-one post-production tool for professional photographers.


Aperture 1.5

Bring Aperture 1.5 and the new Macs together, and you have the ultimate photographer's workstation. The ideal systems on which to run the photo workflow application that delivers all the speed you need to work with and manage photos of any type. RAW, JPEG, or TIFF.


Aperture — enthusiastically adopted by some of the world's finest professional photographers — set the standard for professional photo management applications. And the latest version, Aperture 1.5, introduces a wide range of new features. They include more flexible photo management options that let you store images wherever you'd like. XMP metadata export. An advanced Color adjustment tool. A new Edge Sharpen tool. Metadata presets that automatically add such critical data as copyright, credit, and captions. New options for the Loupe that make a great tool even better. Adjustment presets. And many other new and enhanced features.


Advanced RAW-focused Workflow
Advanced RAW-focused Workflow Powerful, Aperture features a RAW-focused workflow from capture to output that makes working with RAW files as easy as JPEG or TIFF images. No need to convert your RAW files before doing anything with them. Aperture automatically creates "versions" of your "master" images to preview, crop, color correct, sharpen, and apply other modifications to. What's more, they're all totally non-destructive in nature. Your RAW originals remain perfectly safe because Aperture doesn't change a single pixel in them.


Aperture 1.5 also provides RAW support for more than 70 camera models — from Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, and other leading manufacturers.


Powerful Compare-and-Select Tools
Powerful Compare-and-Select Tools Pros already using Aperture rave about its compare and select tools. When it comes to powering through a large shoot and making critical decisions, no single application offers the collection of campare-and-select tools you'll find in Aperture. It lets you work Full Screen. Or on multiple screens. You can put two (or more) images onscreen at once for easy side-by-side comparisons.


Pull out a Loupe and dial in the degree of magnification — up to 1600%. Rate images with a single keystroke. Aperture also lets you Stack images — just like you're used to doing on a light table. In fact, it even has its own Light Table.


Professional Photo Management
Shooting more than you've ever shot before? Everyone is. And that's why Aperture was designed with powerful photo management tools. Not only can this innovative application accommodate hundreds of thousands of images, but Aperture lets you choose the best way to store them. Consolidated into a single library that Aperture manages for you. On a variety of hard drives, networked volumes, and optical media. Or a combination thereof.


However you decide to store them, flexible organizational tools let you logically manage images using folders, projects, and albums and in the method that makes the most sense for your needs.


Aperture also offers simple yet powerful tools for assigning metadata. In fact, you can begin the process on import, and presets let you fill metadata fields enmasse. No more onesy-twosies that rob hours of your time. And in Aperture searching is lightning fast and laser accurate, letting you quickly and easily find the one image — or the hundred — you need.


Nondestructive Image Processing
Nondestructive Image Processinhg Comprehensive in scope, Aperture provides a full range of non-destructive adjustment tools. They let you fine-tune exposure; check and adjust Levels; modify White Balance; adjust hue, saturation, and luminance on a color-by-color basis; sharpen edges; modify highlights and shadow values. You can even create presets that speed image adjustments.


And Aperture lets you easily crop, straighten, reduce noise, correct red-eye, and eliminate dust. You can even "Lift" multiple adjustments — including cropping and straightening adjustments — from one image and "Stamp" them onto others.


Tight Integration
Tight integration with Mac OS X and other applications means that you can easily incorporate your Aperture images in Keynote presentations, iDVD slideshows, iWeb photo blogs, or other iLife '06 or iWork '06 projects using the Media Browser. Or simply drag images from Aperture and drop them into Motion, Final Cut Express, Final Cut Pro, or other documents from other applications.


Supporting every member of the Mac family, Aperture 1.5 runs on every desktop — from Mac mini to iMac to Mac Pro — and every notebook — including both the MacBook and MacBook Pro. So you can run Aperture at home or in your studio. And you can take all your photos with you on location or to a client's office. Aperture and the Mac make one unstoppable team.


Versatile Printing and Publishing
Offering a complete color-managed workflow — based on ColorSync — Aperture also offers a full complement of output options, letting you quickly and easily create contact sheets, printed portfolios, books, or customized prints. Print them yourself, or order professional prints and books without leaving Aperture.


Round-trip Photoshop support
Aperture lets you launch directly into Adobe Photoshop with a single-click. There, you can take advantage of Photoshop's strong compositing and layer effects, and when you're done making modifications, simply save the file. Your modified image will automatically be added to your Aperture library as a version of the original file, where you can manage it easily in a Project or Album.
