RUMOR: Apple to release Aperture 3 soon

“Photography pros have been waiting for a new version of Apple’s Aperture for way too long,” Steven Sande writes for TUAW. “The existing version, Aperture 2, was released on February 12, 2008.”

“According to a post on Dutch website One More Thing, the wait might be over soon. Several Dutch photography sites are listing a book about Aperture 3 with mid-February availability dates,” Sande reports. “Aperture 3, by author Johan Elzenga, is a Dutch-language book and is listed for availability on February 15th.”

  1. @I’m a PC

    To be completely honest and fair..I tried Bing and did not like it…I tried it for about a week and found it just inadequate.

    The real problem is that if you haven’t really TRIED a Mac or tried to understand the Unix foundations for OS X then all you are left with is juvenile posts on sites like this.

    I’ve used Windows as well and while Windows 7 is an improvement, by the accounts of most experts, they are still miles behind OS X in most important areas.

    Your posts here bounce off the walls

  2. @Gore haters… I agree with you guys 100%. The only problem I’m running into is that I’d almost be willing to let him stay on the board if MDN would just get rid of that creepy face shot of him. I know… I know… I’m truly losing my mind for suggesting that, but I’m desperate at this point to do anything to have Al stop staring at me!!!

  3. Waaaay too late Apple. I gave up on Aperture long ago. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is where I now go to for my digital asset management needs. Maybe if Apple would have been more professional about their product I’d have stuck with them. But their utter silence simply shows that they have no care or concern about people’s needs.

  4. “No 64bit support and crashes on Snow Leo. I haven’t upgraded because of that.”

    You’re missing out then.

    I’ve been using it (2.1.4) under SL since it was available, on two different machines, and have yet to see a crash.

    The water’s fine, jump on in.

  5. I love Aperture. Unfortunately the raw color never looks as good as Nikon’s raw program because Nikon won’t release their raw color info to other developers like Apple and Adobe.
    To quote a Nikon rep I was talking to once who considers their raw info their advantage over Apple and Adobe,
    “why should we just give it away for free?”

    I’m told Canon does the same thing.
