“Apple on Thursday responded to rumors that the company has asked the engineering team for its professional photography workflow application Aperture to leave. The rumors, which started late last week, are completely false, according to Apple,” Jim Dalrymple reports for Macworld. “‘The reports of Apple reducing their commitment to Aperture are totally false,’ Kirk Paulsen, Apple’s Senior Director Pro Applications Marketing, told Macworld. ‘In fact, we’ve got more people working on Aperture right now than ever before.'”
Dalrymple reports, “Paulsen characterized the interest in Aperture at the National Association of Broadcasters tradeshow last week in Las Vegas as ‘tremendous’ as Apple showed off its entire pro-level product line. ‘As far as we’re concerned Aperture is the number one application in the category and we intend to do everything possible to keep it that way,’ said Paulsen.”
