Apple Aperture

what is it?

a photography program. im guessing kinda like photoshop. never used it but i herad its sick

i want it, but my computer couldnt hold it, powerbook or g5

apple doesnt want people to use adobe, thats why they have it

Actually, Aperture is all about .RAW photos and probably specializes in photography-specific editing. Haven't looked, but I'm sure the required specs are a bitch

adobe made apple what it is today if it wasnt for adobe Apple would have been dead long ago.

aperture is not even the same type of tool as photoshop. its more of a digital Dark room where as photoshop is for picture editing.

your computer has to be INSANE to run it. unless you have a fully pimped G5 tower....umm better make it a rendering farm, then you can run it.

can you elaborate on that? i dont understand....

pretty much you can play around with RAW files. You need one bitchin' computer for it to work tho.

well with film there are aperture settings (how fast the shutter opens and closes) after the picture is taken you have to develop the film into a negative and from there make a print of it. when you re an experienced photographer or film developer you can make thousands of affects happen with those things. what aperture does is it allows you to change the quality of the RAW picture before you bring it in for editing.

it allows you to change stuff you would in photoshop without sizing down the high quality images and without waiting for incredibly long load times while each affect is rendered. if your not doing insanely High definition photography then aperture is not a tool you need.
