Following on from the launch of Apple’s new OS X Mavericks operating system, Apple has released a new update for its Aperture photo management and enhancement suite, taking it to Aperture 3.5.
New updates in the latest Aperture 3.5 software include the obligatory bug fixes and performance enhancements together with a wealth of new features which include iCloud photo sharing together with support for mapping and the new Places feature which now uses Apple maps to display photo locations.
Enhanced Photo Sharing and Synchronization
One of the standout features in Aperture 3.5 is the new ability to publish and synchronize galleries directly to a SmugMug account. This integration allows photographers to effortlessly share their work with a broader audience and maintain a cohesive portfolio across different platforms. Additionally, support has been added for iOS 7 camera filters applied to photos imported from iOS devices, making it easier for users to maintain the aesthetic of their mobile photography within the Aperture environment.
The update also improves the reliability of slideshows on a 15″ MacBook Pro with Retina display, ensuring that high-resolution presentations run smoothly without glitches. This enhancement is particularly beneficial for professional photographers who rely on slideshows to showcase their work to clients.
Additional Features and Bug Fixes
Aperture 3.5 introduces several other noteworthy features and bug fixes. Users can now share videos up to three minutes long with Flickr, expanding the platform’s utility beyond just photo sharing. This feature is ideal for photographers who also dabble in videography and wish to share short clips with their audience.
The update also addresses several reliability issues. For instance, it improves the reliability when printing a light table, ensuring that printed outputs match the on-screen layout. Another significant fix resolves an issue that could cause Aperture to hang after adjusting a very large panorama. This fix is crucial for photographers who work with high-resolution images and need a stable environment for editing.
Moreover, the update includes enhancements to the overall performance of the software. These performance tweaks ensure that Aperture runs more smoothly, providing a more efficient workflow for users. The software’s responsiveness has been improved, reducing lag and making it easier to manage large libraries of photos.
