Apple releases Aperture 3 – Faces, Places & Brushes
March 2, 2010
New Features Include Faces, Places & Brushes
Apple® introduces Aperture™ 3, the next major release of its powerful photo editing and
management software, with over 200 new features including Faces, Places and Brushes.
Building on the innovative Faces and Places features introduced in iPhoto® ’09, Aperture 3
makes it even easier and faster to organize large photo libraries. Aperture 3 introduces
new tools to refine your photos including Brushes for painting image adjustments onto
parts of your photo, and Adjustment Presets for applying professional photo effects with
just one click. Stunning new slideshows let you share your work by weaving together
photos, audio, text and HD video.
“Millions of people love using iPhoto to organize, edit and share their digital photos,”
said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing.
“Aperture 3 is designed for both professionals who edit and manage massive libraries of
photos and iPhoto users who want to take their photos further with easy-to-use tools
such as Brushes and Adjustment Presets.”
“Aperture 3 gets it right,” said National Geographic photographer, Jim Richardson. “The
image editing tools are exactly what I have been asking for, they’re so easy to use and
give me a level of control that I never even thought possible.”
“I chose Aperture because it was the most powerful archiving application around, but
it’s now an unbelievable imaging tool as well,” said Bill Frakes, Sports Illustrated staff
photographer. “I am beyond impressed with the massive changes made in Aperture 3.”
Aperture 3 allows you to organize large photo libraries with even more flexibility using
Projects and the new Faces and Places. Faces uses face detection and recognition to
find and organize your photos by the people in them. You can view faces across your
entire photo library or view just the faces that appear in selected projects. In a new view
that speeds up the organization process, Aperture 3 displays faces that have been
detected but haven’t yet been named. Places lets you explore your photos based on
where they were taken, and like in iPhoto, Places automatically reverse geocodes GPS
data into user-friendly locations. In Aperture 3, you can assign locations by draggingand-
dropping photos onto a map or by using location information from GPS enabled
cameras, tracking devices or your iPhone® photos.
The new Brushes feature allows you to add professional touches to your photos by
simply painting effects onto the image. Aperture 3 includes 15 Quick Brushes that
perform the most popular tasks like Dodge, Burn, Polarize and Blur, without the
complexity of layers or masks. Brushes can automatically detect edges in your images to
let you apply or remove effects exactly where you want them. Aperture 3 includes
dozens of Adjustment Presets that apply a specific style or look to the entire image with
just a click. You can create your own custom presets or explore the techniques of other
photographers by importing theirs.
Aperture 3 makes it easy to share your work with stunning slideshows that weave
together photos, audio, text and HD video. You can select one of six Apple designed
themes or choose your own transitions, background, borders and titles, and even add
your own soundtrack. You can export your slideshows directly to iTunes® to take with
you on your iPhone or iPod touch®. You can also share photographs by publishing to
online photo sharing sites like Facebook and Flickr, right from Aperture 3.
