Features 15 different modules for more than 4000 effects. The modules can be combined together in one step. Effects can be applied on one or a set of images right inside Aperture.

- Image Resizing with advanced algorithm for big photo enlargement or reduction.
- MultiTones combines several effects to create sophisticated and beautiful black & white or multitones images….
- Color Filtering with Contrast, Brightness and Detail adjustment
- Film Grain to add some grain to your digital picture and give a distinctive look. Toning… MultiTones resaturates the image and lets you adjust the hue in a snap for stunning duotones
- Last but not least, edges can be added around the image, with blending adjustment a library of 100 effects is provided. You can use your own edge, if you get the Edit MagicFrames volume, you will have access to more than 1000 additional edges automatically

Color Correct with Multiple Curves: Much more intuitive than levels, nothing replaces the ease of Curves. And now Edit offers a set of Curves ‘a la photoshop’ that lets you color correct one or multiple images in a snap. You can easily pick up highlights, shadows and gray point to balance your colors for the perfect image. Do not miss this invaluable time saver.

Powerful Image DeNoising: Many digital images especially those taken at higher ISO sensitivities show a “Noise” that affects the quality of the picture. Many cameras increase the sensitivity when shooting in “Action” or “Night” modes. Also, cameras that provide anti-shake using electronics (instead of an image stabilizing lens or a device to stabilize the sensor) will boost sensitivity in order to allow a quicker shutter speed. ApertureEdit AutoDeNoise is there to reduce this digital noise. It is very easy to use, very affordable and appeal to a wide range of users.

Image ReFocusing: How often are you getting a picture slightly blurred because the subject has moved! After any image manipulation you are doing, the image is getting a little more blurred. ApertureEdit AutoFocus uses powerful mathematical algorithms to refocus the image. AutoFocus reverses the formula by which the image got blurred… this technology gives you AS MUCH of the original “in focus” image as possible. AutoFocus uses a very powerful deconvolution tool that will reclaim the data that has been spread out.

Image Beautifier: ApertureEdit AutoSmooth gives users a quick and powerful way of smoothing skin and other surfaces without blurring or affecting other details or faces characteristic AutoSmooth enables users to automatically achieve meticulous airbrush and retouching effects without tedious, time-consuming masking and manual softening. With AutoSmooth not only you will smoothen skin and get a glamorous look but you will save hours of retouching work while keeping blends and details in a way impossible to achieve manually.

Correct Lens Distortion: ApertureEdit PhotoFixlens corrects barreling and pin-cushioning lens distortion produced by zoom and wide-angle lenses. This tool is especially handy for digital cameras! The effect can be applied on one or multiple images without leaving Apple Aperture

Grid Distortion: ApertureEdit Grids lets you create and use grids for all kind of distortion just on top of your images. Very handy to reverse perspective deformation. But all kind of distortion can be achieved thanks to the double grid mecanism. The most powerful grid distortion on the market today.

Frame or Edge your images right inside Aperture: ApertureEdit MagicFrames features more than 1700 frames/edges in one easy super powerful dialog box so you can frame your photos to your heart delight. Again super powerful and fun to use. The frame might be apply on one or a set of images.

Add Classy Frames inside Aperture: ApertureEdit ClassicFrames offers more than 100 frames similar to what you would find in an home, an office or even a museum. Perfect for portrait photographers.

Add Fractal: ApertureEdit Fractals offers a library of fractals. This module provides creative look for images. Fractalian lights can be generated and blended to all photos.

Put Lights on your Photos: ApertureEdit PhotoLights combines 500 different light effects. All effects like on any of the ApertureEdit modules might be totally modified and used later on other set of images.

Change Surfaces: ApertureEdit Surfaces offers 300 different surfaces. Those surfaces can be instantly previewed on your photo. If the full Aperture bundle is purchased effect might be combined in one single edit.

The Toolbox: Last but not least the ApertureEdit Toolbox. A PowerHouse by itself. 50 powerful blocks like ‘legos’ can be combined together playing with masks and channels to create any effect you can imagine. Those effects can be saved and recall later on. Among the basic blocks you will find a BW conversion tool, a film grain, a channel mixer, but also an octoposterizer, blur tools, mosaic, deinterlace and much much more. A library os 150 advanced effects using those basic blocks feature Depth of Field, Glow effects, different Kodak/Fui films simulation, Tungsten, polarizer, infrareds etc etc… ]]> Thu, 02 Oct 2008 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/aperture/editdenoise.html Reduce Noises on all kind of photos. About Edit DeNoise
Reduce Noise for sharper and crispier images. Noise is a very important issue in digital photography. Nearly all digital cameras produce images with an easily noticed noise component. This ‘digital noise’ is especially strong in images taken at high ISO rates. Scans of negatives show a similar film grain. When the picture is taken in low-light (indoor/night) or high-speed (sport/action) the noise is even more noticeable and a tool such as AutoDeNoise is needed. The noise and grain reduce the visual quality of digital images and resulting prints.]]> Wed, 01 Oct 2008 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/aperture/editresize.html High quality image resizing without leaving Apple Aperture.

About Edit FixLens
Eliminating Wide-Angle Distortion. This unwanted bending is called barrel distortion. A wide-angle lens distorts the image by curving straight lines. You can end up with a picture that doesn’t look quite right because the walls of the room are warped like the reflection in a funhouse mirror. All wide-angle lenses create some amount of barrel distortion, though the effect can vary depending upon the lens. The wider the lens, the more pronounced the effect will usually be. A fisheye lens, in fact, is just a super-wide-angle lens that has the ultimate in barrel distortion.]]> Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/aperture/editgrids.html Correct all kind of image distortions.
