Ars reviews Aperture 1.1

Ars Technica has reviewed Aperture 1.1, the update to Apple's post-production photography software that originally failed to perform as expected for most of its target audience. Aperture 1.1's high-quality RAW processing is testament to Apple's ability to move quickly in areas where it has little experience, while its discount/refund assures users won't be expected to beta test at their own expense, according to Ars. "While I'm still left wanting on the filter quality side, Aperture 1.1.1 finally gets me excited about the prospect of doing complex imaging on the GPU via Core Image." Users no longer need to sacrifice quality to get true pixel accuracy, and while Aperture's filters could use some improvement, the job is small compared to what has already been accomplished in just a few months' time. "Aperture 1.1 is everything that Apple should have released for 1.0 and at $300, it's hard to say no now to this program."
