Apple Aperture 3 has just been announced today. I have downloaded the trial and will be putting the software through much use in the upcoming days and weeks.

From the looks of things this update has addressed most if not all of my issues with Aperture 2.1.4. The things that stand out to me are image adjustment presets when I’m importing and hopefully while tethering as well. Also non-destructive adjustment brushes and syncing/importing along with easier switching between libraries. Project template duplication is surprisingly included as well. There is so much more to this update of course, faces, places, video etc.

My use of Adobe Photoshop CS4 will be relegated only to photos requiring liquifying, layers or more complicated adjustments but it looks like now with Aperture 3.0 that so many adjustments can be done non-destructively on the raw and then output for whatever purpose is needed. Of course most fashion photos will still require liquifying etc but it’s nice to have the majority of the look done before even exporting.

Welcome to my blog. Things are just getting started here so check back soon.
