Apple’s fledgling RAW processing and workflow application, Aperture, has received a significant upgrade and fix to iron out its initial clunkiness and bugs. More cameras are now supported and to sweeten the package – Apple have slashed the price of v1.1 by $200. Users who shelled out the original $500 for version 1 needn’t feel aggrieved by this as they will be recredited with the $200 discount regardless of their initial purchase date. Which is nice.
