About Aperture Users

Using Apple’s Aperture software.

Think of Aperture as “Final Cut Pro” for photographers. See that green cast? That’s the envy in the PC World. Nothing a little eyedropper tool in Aperture and Core Image won’t fix.

Aperture 2.0 retails for $199. Remember, that there is an education price of $149.

The current version of Aperture is 2.1.
