Aperture 2.0
FIRST IDIOT is more like it!
G5 Powerbooks!
It’s going to be Aperture 2.0, and it’s going to be amazing. Integrated inito Apple’s other apps just like iPhoto! We’re going to kick major hiney! Lightroom is going to look like Photoshop Elements compared to Photoshop in comparison. On a Mac Pro, it’s going to fly!
1: Multi-user
2: Round trip to Photoshop
3: Multiple versions of a photo sent to Photoshop at the same time, each wtih a different curve to emphasize shadow, mid-tone, and highlight so you can improve the photo using alpha channels and masks.
Look out Adobe!

“G5 Powerbooks”
Yeah, right! Like SJ is going to intro them in Germany. NOT.
IF it is an Aperture update, itll be interesting to see the direction the app is taking, ie is there any clues as to it moving in on photoshops turf, or is it staying on its current trajectory.
photo ipod?
Too funny, R! Maybe it’s the Mac Tablet!!!
I also think it’s Aperture 2.0. I’ve talked to a few photographers who have played around with 1.1 and like it but are waiting for 2.0 to come out before buying. The $300 price drop tempted them A LOT at the time, though.
Apperture and/or photo/imaging related features of Leopard? Just a thought. Anyone?
Apple’s Photoshop killer!
I’m waiting for a camera from Apple.
Seeing as how Apple likes to promise one date and then deliver earlier – maybe it will be an orchestrated release of Universal Adobe products.
WDYT?
Cheers
Apple ipodcamera that comes with back-dated stock options..
3D version of the apple logo which magically looks correct (bite out of the correct place) from every angle – and has a dock connector.
Apple is definitely NOT making a camera. That market is super-mature and basically saturated.
Aperture with Time Machine. You’ll be able to select photos from the future and import them into Adobe Bridge. But any images past your date of death will be blank. Life isn’t always fair.
P.S. And if tomorrow comes up blank, you’ll be entitled to an Apple Store credit. Sorry, no refunds.
For those who don’t know, Cologne is a hip and cool city in Germany, about 2 hours north of Frankfurt. Here’s some more info:

At the WWDC, wasn’t there an announcement that RAW image capability was now built into OS X’s Core Image?
Gambit, you better point out that Germany is a part of Europe – plus a map of Europe. Remember the US education system. But yes, Cologne is cool. Ugly as hell tho. Those phosphor bombs sure altered the look of that town.
Why are people saying that this is a photoshop killer?????? This isn’t a photoshop program and its not intended to be. Its a program to streamline the workflow of the photographer. Keep the photos organized and keep them in order of the time they were shot. It’s used as a way to give specifics of each photo in great detail. What the aperture is, what the shutter speed is? and so on more so than photoshop gives you. It will never replace photoshop and is not intended to be a replacement app.
Hah ha, an Apple Camera!
They sold one of the first digital cameras and got out of the market nearly 10 years ago.
Actually, the Photokina show would be a good opportunity for Apple to release next generation monitors… with fast refresh rates, built-in iSight, the works. Maybe even some unheard of extra, too. It’s high time the monitors got a boost, they’ve even been rumored to be working with one of the big display manufacturers on some new technologies. OLED? All WACOM-style touch screens? Who knows?
Perhaps Apple is bying Adobe (as suggested in the other article)?
