Photoshelter and Aperture

FYI: Apple just announced the release of Aperture v 1.5 and with it the ability to use plug-ins to upload images directly to a variety of third party services including Photoshelter. To read about it and to download the plug-in….

Sounds very useful, Jock. I hope Digital Railroad get on board, too.

Pity the Aperture/OS X RAW engine is a POS. And the Sharpening tool has no threshold control. And the histogram readout doesn’t actually show you the real histogram of the image – just a histogram of Aperture’s interperetation of the optimised preview.

Otherwise it might be a really useful piece of software!

Ed:

Maybe version 1.5 has fixed some of these problems – I know a lot of photographers who are swearing by it.

Wade:

Yes, I am sure the folks at DR will eventually get on board as well – just like the Marketplace – better late than never :-)

I’ve been using it since 1.x and its been getting better with each release. Granted ver 1.x was a utter ballsup from a software perspective, but they have admitted their faults and sacked the team and started again

nothing else out there comes close, ver 1.5 is much better and it spells out Apple’s roadmap for version 2
Ed, sharpening and RAW are two of the major area’s which have had work since 1.x
