Apple has been one of the leading developers of video and computer manipulating devices and software has come up with a new product. Apple just released Aperture 2.1, which comes with an open plug-in architecture that makes it easy for photographers to use specific third party imaging software right from within Aperture. As a free software update, Aperture 2.1 includes the Apple-developed plug-in called Dodge & Burn that complements brush-based tools to lighten, darken, contrast, saturation, sharpen and blur. In the coming months, third party software developers will bring image editing plug-ins for localized editing, filters and effects, noise testing and reduction, fisheye lens correction and more.
