showing your pictures isn’t enough nowadays. You might want to add a shopping cart that allows your clients to license images or purchase prints and products directly off the site, or make it easier to create and manage your galleries and distribute high resolution files. If that’s the case, don’t worry! If you’re happy with your existing site, then we like it, too!  We can appreciate the value of a custom built design, and if our design themes don’t provide the look-and-feel you’re after, you can customize PhotoShelter to enhance the site you already have.  This is possible because PhotoShelter pages can actually be easily integrated into any outside website.

I make no apology for the lovefest review to follow. The tools we use make or break us, and I have been working with this digital stuff for a long time, always looking for ways to get back to the comfortable metaphors I grew up with in the wet darkroom and with film. Aperture 3.0 incorporates a lot of that tradition while providing all the latest technology to actually make me more efficient. Yes, they feature me in a nice video of how I use it, and that’s great, but seriously, my motivation for participating in beta testing and marketing is that I am just looking for the best tool to solve my problems. When I find something like Aperture I want it to succeed so I’m pushing hard for people to try it.

There’s few things I think photographers will want to know about this new release. First, and most importantly, driving this software feels like you’re driving a German sports car. Aperture 3.0 has the power and grace that we’ve come to expect from Apple. Second, it’s got new features for days…
