Advanced RAW Workflow
As a photographer, you know all about the benefits of shooting RAW. With access to all the data your digital SLR can record, you’re capturing images of startling quality, great dynamic range, and virtually no noise. And now, for the very first time, you have an application that provides you with more control of the final image than you’ve ever had before. One that actually makes working with RAW files as easy as working with JPEGs. That application? Aperture.

Professional Project Management
Aperture, the first all-in-one post-production tool for photographers, provides everything you need to manage your photo library: flexible organizational tools, comprehensive metadata support, and powerful search tools that let you find files instantly. Aperture lets you import photos from a wide variety of sources and preserves the method you used to organize files when you drag folders from your hard drive and drop them into Aperture.

Powerful Compare and Select Tools
It’s the biggest, most taxing job you have as a photographer. You’ve finished your shoot. You’ve taken thousands of photographs. Now you need to quickly edit the shoot, reviewing all of your photos and identifying your very best. Aperture helps you accomplish this with powerful and flexible tools designed specifically to address the needs of the professional photographer. If you’ve shot transparencies, you’re familiar with stacks. You’ve almost certainly created piles of similar images for fast comparison on your light table. In Aperture, you can employ the same technique with digital stacks.

Nondestructive Image Processing
Have you ever modified a file and instinctively hit command-S only to realize that you’ve just overwritten your original file? You can’t Undo. You just have to live with the results. If you rembered to backup, you may have another copy of your original. But what you really need is an application that lets you freely experiment with your images while still providing you a built-in safety net. What you really need is Aperture.

Versatile Printing and Publishing
Using Aperture, you can produce high-quality prints and contact sheets, design customized
books, and create impressive websites as beautiful as the photographs you take. Best of
all: you can do it all with drag-and-drop ease.
Preview before your print
