Apple’s Aperture 3.0.3
Apple has released a third update to its Aperture software for editing and cataloging photos, with improvements to stability and the chromatic aberration correction tool among dozens of changes. Aperture 3 added the ability to correct chromatic aberration–a color problem caused by camera lenses–and Apple believes version 3.0.3 should give better results with less effort. Indeed, my quick test, editing a dozen photos shot with various lenses, showed a vast improvement over the relatively weak performance in Aperture 3.0.2. It was faster and did a better job removing the color fringes. Another change concerns geotagging. Aperture lets you assign photo locations to photos by positioning them along a GPS track log it displays on a map. A hovering text box shows the time difference between when the photo was taken and the position of the GPS track on which you’re holding it. With Aperture 3.0.3, the text box shows that difference in hours, minutes, and seconds, rather than just hours and minutes.
