  • Features

    Flexible Library Management:

  • With Aperture 1.5, you decide how and where to store your images. Import them into a managed Aperture library and let Aperture take care of keeping track of your images. This option lets you keep all your images in one location and offers a simple backup mechanism via the Vault. Or store your photographs wherever you'd like - on any number of hard drives, network volumes, CDs, or DVDs, and have Aperture "reference" them. No need to copy the entire collection into a single managed library, simply point to them and let Aperture catalog them in place. You can even reference the images in your iPhoto library, using them in Aperture without having to move or copy them anywhere. However you store your images, Aperture 1.5 keeps track of all the metadata you add and versions you create. And because your RAW originals don't have to be online for you to browse or search through them, you can take your entire library with you wherever you go. On your MacBook, for example

    • Seamless Integration with iLife '06 and iWork '06:

  • Now you can browse your entire Aperture Library - including both offline and online photographs - using the Media Browser in iLife '06 and iWork '06. That means you don't have to leave iWeb, Keynote, iDVD, Pages, iPhoto, iMovie, or GarageBand to incorporate photos from your Aperture Library. You can also browse photos by Album or Smart Album, importing them with a simple mouse click. You don't even have to be running Aperture at the time. That makes it quick and easy to incorporate your images in Keynote slideshows, a card or calendar in iPhoto, iWeb galleries, iDVD slideshows, and other Mac projects

    • Export Metadata Automatically:

  • When you export RAW images, Aperture 1.5 automatically exports the associated IPTC data and ratings, storing them in an industry-standard XMP sidecar file. That means any application that supports XMP files - such as Photoshop - can access and use the exported metadata

    • Advanced Color Controls:

  • The new Color adjustment controls in Aperture 1.5, let you fine-tune color with much greater precision than previously possible. Using them, you can adjust hue, saturation, and luminance on a color-by-color basis via separate Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow controls. And, thanks to the Range slider, it also offers significantly more adjustment flexibility. Using the new Color controls, you can intensify the blue in the sky without affecting other colors in the image and without exporting the image to an external image editor

    • Hone Images with Edge Sharpen:

  • When it comes time to sharpen images, you can now reach for Edge Sharpen. With luminance-based sharpening applied in three passes, it delivers results of the highest quality

    • Speed Metadata Entry with Presets:

  • A great time-saver, Aperture 1.5 lets you create pre-filled IPTC presets for copyright, captions, and other fields. Once you've created them, you can assign them instantly when you import images or perform batch changes. Aperture 1.5 lets you create different presets for different projects, and before assigning the metadata, you can decide whether they should be added to or replace existing metadata

    • A Loupe...with Onscreen Controls:

  • Making a great tool even better, Aperture 1.5 offers new Loupe options, including onscreen controls. Using the Scroll Button in Mighty Mouse, you can easily control loupe size and smoothly increase magnification from 100% to 1600%. The Loupe's "centered" mode lets you verify sharpness in precisely the area you'd like to check. You can even position the new Loupe off-image, set it to "Focus on Cursor" mode, and move the mouse to the area of an image you'd like to check. The area you mouse over will appear in the loupe at whatever magnification you set and without the Loupe blocking any other
