APERTURE, Apple's photo management and editing software, was originally intended as a professional alternative to iPhoto. But since it was released about 18 months ago, a large number of Aperture buyers have been amateur photographers with digital single-lens reflex cameras who want more sophisticated controls.
Aperture 2.0, a major revision of the program, offers advantages for the amateur and the pro.
The first version of Aperture confronted users with an array of controls that nearly squeezed photos off the screen.
The new version offers a more accessible, streamlined facade and makes it easier to handle photos in full-screen mode. It is also much faster.
When dealing with large numbers of photos, the original Aperture was more stately than speedy, even on high-powered computers.
Like the original version, the new offering maintains original versions of photos in case users change their minds about alterations. But it does so in a way that is more storage efficient than iPhoto.
