Like the application. Will consider purchasing, BUT first Apple has to enable raw files for KonicaMinolta Maxuum D7 '.MRW'. They just did it for iPhoto with the MacOS 10.4.3 upgrade. Whew, at last I can import my raw photos into iPhoto. APERTURE. Like the application. Will consider purchasing, BUT first Apple has to enable raw files for KonicaMinolta Maxuum D7 ‘.MRW’.

I know that my 1ghz Powerbook is feeling the pinch these days for certain. And with the new iPod only supporting USB 2, my old USB 1 ports aren't cutting it. More and more reasons to upgrade...Trying to make it to June '06! Well, at requiring a Dual 2ghz G5, yeah, I’d say the 12″ Powerbook is SOL.

I presume the PowerBook G4 12" is excluded as it does not have a sufficiently high-resolution screen, so perhaps an external monitor would render it compatible. It will be interesting to see how pros take to this. It's not really a Photoshop competitor, by any means - the paucity of effects makes that clear - but for photographers who only require to manage their photos and make minor retouches without the clutter of the Photoshop interface, this could prove compelling. We shall see. Looks nice, although the system requirements are somewhat…”strenuous”.

Wed, 19 Oct 2005 19:03:02 +0000 http://www.theappleblog.com/2005/10/19/aperature/#comment-3879 Wow I am impressed for the first time in a long time. Aperature is like a cross between shake and iphoto. But for photos! I think it will make life so much easer to manage my photos with out messing up the originals. Now if only i had a management tool like this for all my HD footage, catalogs. I would be able to setup projects on the fly and edit them in Final Cut Pro and thus know where everything is. I hope this would be Apples next step. HAving 7 and 1/2 raids full and one for a scratch disk. Its hard to find everything quickly. On the Power Mac side I have to say about time! I would still like to see a Quad Dual-core though. Also the PowerBooks where disappointing I guess we will have to wait for Intel. Nice displays! But not enough to get me to buy one and no Nvidia Graphics ether to mach the line up of the Power Macs. Wow I am impressed for the first time in a long time.
