Aperture, Apple's photo editing app targeted at the pro market, got an upgrade today to 1.1. The new version is a universal binary that'll run on both Intel and PowerPC Macs, and Apple has slashed the price from $499 to $299 ($149 for education markets). New features in this release include improved RAW image quality, RAW fine tuning, a new auto noise compensation function, a new built-in color meter, enhanced export controls, and improved performance.
