I also think your logic is flawed if you consider the other current “pro” apps … will iMovie and FCP X suffer the same fate? Will Logic Pro and QT audio be merged to a similar product as what you expect with the new Photos app. If what you are sharing is true and you think the new Photos app is to become the replacement for iPhoto and Aperture … why are both still currently on sale? How could Tim Cook sleep at night knowing he is selling both apps this late in the game when he knows full well, in about six months both apps will be for naught? I think is is a total exercise in futility to discern either way it will go for Aperture. Long on technical minutae, short on fact. The information available still leaves too much to interpretation. I also don’t think there is enough definitive information to prove Aperture will prevail. With all due and sincere respect, I think you and Thomas are off the mark. You can try rising the details slider - there is a point where the pattern begins to look artificial (like in the demo). If you just nudge the details slider a bit you immediately get a more pleasing “analogue” looking image. Besides of that - the Trick with the details slider works in current Aperture: If you put details in 0 and raise noise reduction the image will get very clean but also very flat. The demo showed directly adjustable sliders for color und luminance noise, which would be a cool thing to have. I guess this was part of the camera specific profiles and maybe dependent on the ISO of the image. Regarding the color noise slider: Aperture up to now did color noise reduction completely by itself. So Apple already supports reading and applying lens correction data from RAW files. The RAW file in Aperture took over this custom distortion while it is not shown in RAW converters like RAW Therapee. I’ve tested this by creating a custom correction in the camera that created a heavy distortion instead of fixing it. The cool thing is that aperture even understands lens corrections I create using the in camera lens correction app of my Sony A7. Is used for some MFT, some premium compacts (Sony RX line), Sony E-Mount Alphas. To some degree some of those features already were there before. Head over to /videos/wwdc/2014/ if you're so inclined and see what else you can spot, and be sure to let us know in the comments! Level: Intermediate App: Apple Aperture Platform: macOS Author: PhotoJoseph There are many, many hours of developer sessions free for the watching. What else can we learn from these sessions? While it's possible today, with Yosemite it'll be much easier to access that second GPU, which means developers can send background tasks to the second GPU while performing foreground tasks on the primary. There was also an interesting demo and discussion on the second GPU on new Mac Pro. Since improved noise reduction and lens correction are by far the two most desired and overdue features in Aperture, this is great to see. If nothing else, at least we are seeing that some level of lens correction is being built into the RAW decode on OS X Yosemite. Here we see what happens when “Vendor Lens Correction” is enabled, effectively turning OFF the OS X lens correction A real boon for any group photo situation!Īnyway in the first slide build talking about Adjusting RAW Images, the presenter points out that RAW Support is provided for the entire operating system (which of course we knew), and nicely mentions Aperture, iPhoto and Photos (which is curious since the only “Photos” app is on iOS, which to-date doesn't support RAW files, although I didn't watch the earlier part of this video, so perhaps that's changed?) It was running in real-time on video, but consider it for Faces in iPhoto and Aperture, where it could theoretically find the photos in a series of shots where everyone (or the highest number of people) are smiling and have their eyes open. The RAW discussion starts at 32:50, although shortly before that is something about Faces with smile and eyes-open detection that was wicked cool. You can see his post here, and jump in on that conversation if you like. Which means anyone with the patience to watch all these and the technical understanding to know what it means can learn a LOT about what's coming in the future.Ī reader posted a link to this video, Session 514-“Advances in Core Image”, with instruction to start watching around the 33 minute mark. WWDC 2014, Apple's World Wide Developers Conference, has been in full swing this week, and the sessions are available for free for anyone to watch.
