About Catapult
Allows you to use Adobe Camera Raw or Nikon Capture to perform RAW conversions with images from your Aperture library. Catapult will stack the converted images with your RAW masters in Aperture, and archive the settings used to produce the converted image for later use.

Catapult automates the process of exporting RAW files for editing and importing converted JPEG or TIFF files, while stacking the versions together to keep projects organized. To support non-destructive editing, when importing Catapult can archive the associated XMP sidecar file produced by Adobe Camera Raw, or a settings file exported from Nikon Capture.

Catapult’s support for batch workflows streamlines processing gigabytes of images after a photo shoot. You can export several RAW files at once and batch convert them using their RAW converter. Then with a single button press, you can import the converted images, automatically stack them with the RAW versions in their Aperture library, and archive the corresponding sidecar settings files for later use.]]> Tue, 07 Jul 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/aperture/apertureassistant.html Do automated exports, changing of metadata and much more for Aperture, without needing to know a line of code.

About Edit FixLens
PhotoFixLens Features: 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.]]> Mon, 18 May 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/aperture/editdepthoffield.html Perform depth of field effects on one or multiple images within Aperture.

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, 13 May 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/aperture/editmagicframes.html Stunning edges or frames for all your photos.
