Apple Aperture 1.1 released tomorrow, Thursday

The following was just posted to Apple's RSS feed, but hasn't made it

onto their website. It is dated for 5:30AM Pacific time tomorrow

(Thursday).

 

"Aperture 1.1, a significant update to the revolutionary all-in-one

post production tool for photographers, runs natively on both Intel-

and PowerPC-based Macs. The update features dramatically improved RAW

image rendering and a new set of advanced RAW adjustment controls.

Likewise, it delivers impressive speed gains on any Mac. At a new

lower price of $299, Aperture is within reach of anyone shooting with

a digital SLR camera. [Apr 13, 2006]"

 

This is great! I think many of us have been waiting for this update.

The lower price is unexpected and welcome news. I am happy the update it finally ready

Version 1.1 is now officially released with a lower price of $299. For early adopters (like myself), Apple has a $200 coupon at the Apple store ($100 for academic users):

It is good to see that they are not punishing their early adopters. I Picked up one of the new Intel based iMac's, so I have been waiting for the univeral version to come out so I could use it.

A much more realistic price. Slightly more expensive in the UK. It costs 219 British pounds

but free shipping.

$299 in the USA = 170 British pounds.

But add VAT 17.5 % for us brits it's more closer to 199 British pounds.

Still a bargain and at last my order has gone in.
