Apple quietly updated their Aperture page on their website to reflect that it is now shipping.

Several user reports have indicated shipping notices, as well as (ThinkSecret posting a story reflecting the same.

Apple introduced Aperture as a pro-level RAW support photo cataloging app on October 19, 2005.

Great!

May want to check out the specs before ordering. Even my PowerMac G5 doesn't look like it's ready to run Aperture until I upgrade the video card to at least 512MB RAM.

Bring it too me apple, Bring it too me... My canon 20D is waiting

PlaceofDis · Nov 27, 2005, 01:39 AM

took just over a month only to start shipping!
haha, not surprised, at least people will get it before xmas.

EricNau · Nov 27, 2005, 01:42 AM

It's about time...

sethypoo · Nov 27, 2005, 01:47 AM

I want it! Such a nice interface, but so, so expensive.

Xenious · Nov 27, 2005, 01:51 AM

Is it more of a photo processing app than a photo editing app? (ie NOT a photoshop replacement?)

Lacero · Nov 27, 2005, 01:52 AM

Neither. It's mainly a photo management and versioning app for RAW files. Speed is its main selling point.

Dr. Dastardly · Nov 27, 2005, 02:00 AM

Can't wait to start reading some actual reviews and finally be able to play with it myself.

Hopefully its exactly what I have been asking for. More organization software with a dash of simple editing.

"We have no plans on when it will be available in Japan." WTF!?

mashinhead · Nov 27, 2005, 02:34 AM

They would have announced it later on in the year but Photo Plus Expo 2005 was the most appropriate venue

dornoforpyros · Nov 27, 2005, 03:19 AM

cool...except I think my bastard roommate(whome wants to get into photography, yes he has talent)has already pulled the trigger on a dell...I thought 5 months of using my g5 with a 20" would have done it...but no

Staffroomer · Nov 27, 2005, 04:20 AM

I think this app is somewhat out of my pricerange..

bousozoku · Nov 27, 2005, 04:50 AM

Every time I see something else, I really regret buying Extensis Portfolio. Aperture really puts the nails in my coffin.

Rumour has it Dells are cheaper than Macs, they are better for gaming and there are more apps that run on a PC than on a Mac.....

You're covered.

SiliconAddict · Nov 27, 2005, 05:55 AM

Woot. Now all we need is a laptop that can run the thing!

Seriously though here's to Aperture Express at MWSF! http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/foru...miles/beer.gif

That's what it seems to be, since I have one, though mine is modified for a Quicksilver. Too bad my Quicksilver isn't covered but odd that my PowerBook is.

Unless you've got a Nvidia 5200 you'll be OK.
You don't need 512MB video RAM to run it - that would exclude everyone bar Quadro owners! Where did you get that idea?

I have the 5200.

I figure I'll be safe with 512MB of RAM to start.

So, so sorry!

I don't understand why the 5200 shouldn't work, as it's Core Image supported. You might find a hack becomes available - like there was for FCP 4 and PCI graphics cards.

Hang in there.
