Aperture 3 Released

Early this morning, Apple released Aperture 3. If you are unfamiliar to Aperture, it is basically a few steps up from iPhoto. Aperture has more professional tools and some nice features that iPhoto doesn’t have. In Aperture 3, here are the following new features:

  • Faces*
  • Places*
  • Brushes
  • Adjustment Presets
  • Full Screen Browser
  • Advanced Slideshows

So if your an Aperture fan you may want to head to your nearest Apple Store. Upgrade version is available for $99 (Apple Store) or purchase for $199  (Apple Store).  There is also a trial version if you are interested in trying before you purchase Aperture (Trial)

* These features were already accessible in iPhoto

New Link Meet Safari’s Tab

Are you ever at a website and it has a link to a different page and want to read it later? Usually, it opens the link in a new window in front of what you are currently reading. Frustrating I know. I have a little trick for you, but this only works with Safari. Launch the Terminal application (Applications>Utilities) and get ready to rock. You will need to type the command exactly as it is here (Note: To be a Real Mac Genius, type it) :

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true

and of course if you want to undo type:

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool false
