14 DAY TRIAL // A new version of Apple’s professional photography software, Aperture, is available for download via Software Update or from the company’s Support web site. Aperture 3.2.1 resolves several stability issues, as well as rendering woes, to name the key changes.
According to a technical note posted by Apple online, Aperture 3.2.1 resolves an issue that could cause the application to quit unexpectedly at launch on Macs with Core Duo processors.
In its current form, the photography software poses problems that could cause the Crop tool to switch to the incorrect orientation or resize incorrectly. Version 3.2.1 fixes this.
Aperture 3.2.1 fixes rendering issues when cropping images with Onscreen Proofing enabled, while location menus are displayed correctly on the map in the Places view when "Photos" is selected in the Library Inspector, according to Apple, all thanks to the new update.
The Aperture 3.2.1 update supersedes the former Aperture 3.2, a major release of the Apple-developed photography solution which adds compatibility with Mac OS X Lion, iCloud and iOS 5. The rest of the changes are documented as follows:
· Resolves an issue that could cause the "Loading" indicator to reappear in the Viewer when cropping a photo · Aperture now automatically relaunches into Full Screen mode if the application was in Full Screen mode when last quit · Pinch-to-zoom gesture now automatically activates Zoom mode in the Viewer · Left and right swipe gestures can now be used to navigate between photos in the Viewer · Microsoft Outlook can now be chosen in Preferences as the application used by Aperture for emailing photos · Fixes a problem that could cause Aperture, running on OS X Lion, to quit unexpectedly when using brushes to apply adjustments · Loupe now correctly displays magnification levels between 50-100% · Fixes an issue that could cause Aperture, running on OS X Lion, to display the incorrect color profile on externally edited images · Import window now includes an option to delete photos from iPhone and iPad after they have been imported into Aperture · The Lift & Stamp tool now displays the correct cursor icons when being used in Split View and Viewer only modes
