Apple Releases Aperture 1.5
Major Update Adds Open Library Option and Extends Workflow
PHOTOKINA 2006, COLOGNE, Germany—September 25, 2006—Apple® today released Aperture™ 1.5, a major update to the all-in-one post production tool for photographers that delivers enhancements across each phase of the entire workflow. Aperture 1.5 delivers a powerful new open library, seamless iLife® ‘06 and iWork™ ‘06 integration, XMP metadata support, powerful new adjustment tools and an export API that makes it easy to extend the Aperture workflow to third party applications and services. “Aperture has given photographers around the globe the confidence to work in exciting new ways,” said Rob Schoeben, Apple’s vice president of Applications Product Marketing. “Now with Apple Aperture 1.5, we’ve opened the library and extended the workflow to provide a solution that is as flexible as it is powerful.”
Bible Labs Releases Bible Pro/Lite Version 4.9
Bibble Labs, Inc announces the immediate availability of version 4.9 of Bibble Pro and Bibble Lite. Digital photographers have been asking for a single tool to perform all their image adjustments - not several tools for specific jobs. Adding Noise Ninja technology and one-touch image optimization with Perfectly Clear in releases 4.6 and 4.7 went a long way to building a single tool for all digital darkroom needs; and with the Cloning & Healing tool in 4.9, Bibble Pro and Bibble Lite now offer the most complete and self contained workflow.
“Many customers were telling us that cloning to remove blemishes and dust spots was the only correction they needed to perform in another application” says Eric Hyman, president and CEO of Bibble Labs. “Including Cloning and Healing, lens distortion correction, and stuck-pixel removal in one RAW-enabled application makes Bibble Pro and Lite the one-stop-shop for the digital darkroom.”
SmugMug and Adobe partnership
SmugMug and Adobe have partnered up on photo-sharing. Adobe’s latest release of Photoshop Elements 5.0 software now allows customers to upload their photos directly into SmugMug galleries.
Now when users finish editing their photos in Photoshop Elements 5.0 instead of first downloading the file onto their own computer and then uploading the photo into SmugMug, they skip that step entirely and can upload directly to SmugMug from the share menu inside of Photoshop Elements 5.0.
