Released last week, Aperture 1.1 includes a revamped RAW conversion engine that delivers "crisper detail and fewer artifacts," according to Rob Galbraith of Digital Photography Insights. Along with improved RAW image rendering and a new set of advanced RAW adjustment controls, the latest version can run as a Universal on the new Macs with Intel processors so should be quite a bit speedier. The application also has a new color meter tool, enhanced export options and support for RAW files from the latest Digital SLRs including the Canon EOS 30D, Nikon D200 and others. Aperture 1.1 is a free update for owners of the original. For new buyers, it will cost $299 which is marked drop from the $499 price tag when it was first introduced last Fall.—Dan Havlik
