munky Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 MacWorld is reporting that Apple have invited them to a Special Event on the 24th September. The invitation features similar imagery to the Aperture software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenctuary Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 New hardware? Update to Aperture? The latter would make sense as it's been just under a year since its initial announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munky Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 As well as being about photography (hence the Aperture thing), its also an event aimed at pros, so the MacBook Pro going to Merom wouldnt be out of place. I still cling to some small glimmer of hope that the MacBooks will get either a bump or merom as well... (I know, I know, dream on...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouch Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Maybe a Creative Suite demo? (And i've got to get this in before someone else does ... "maybe the iphone will be there!" ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unstatusthequo Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 krzr sounds like a version of the RAZR, but with even less vowels... ah, Motorola, what in the hell are you thinking with your names? As far as pronunciation of said phone, I'm going with "CURR-zerr" I guess... ?

munky Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Does anyone know what TIME the event is? Strange there seems to be no mention anywhere... Its in Germany, which is GMT+2.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holden caulfield Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Does anyone know what TIME the event is? Strange there seems to be no mention anywhere... Its in Germany, which is GMT+2.... I saw on macromuors that it is at 10:30 Eastern Time (USA) - so that makes it 9:30 for me in the old midwest - or in about 2 hours and 14 minutes. How are we supposed to know whats going on, anyway? Anybody know of any feeds or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munky Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 the rumor and news sites are being bizarrely quiet about this.. surely not just because its in europe? i'll be scouring for news at the appropriate time - i'll post anything interesting here...

vince29 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 There is currently a shortage on macbooks in france. They can't be found anywhere... Some vendors say it's an AppleExpo side effect, some others say Apple is upgrading the line. As for today's event coverage, I couldn't find anything either.

munky Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 The only news is that Adobe chose today to release Beta 4 of Lightroom... possibly to try to draw attention from the supposed Aperture 2.0 release today. The event has been going now for 20 mins. Its truly bizarre that nobody is covering the event live - even events like NAB get covered by the Apple press when Apple are attending. I'll keep my eyes peeled. Its scheduled to finish at 18:00 local time, which is just over an hour away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe13 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Apparently it's really happening, Aperture 1.5 was announced... Info from tuaw.com... Aplle Event started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munky Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 "Aperture 1.5 has a new library system with better support for external storage, DVD's, as well as RAID. " Sounds nice... I wonder what RAID support is needed, given that a RAID array should appear to just be a standard disk... Also: http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/09/20060925104838.shtml "Aperture 1.5 will allow use of photos on DVDs and other storage media, further iLife, iDVD, iWork integration, and a Plug-in API. Improved magnifying glass, zoom." iLife integration would be great - I currently export processed sets of photos from Aperture to iPhoto, for display via Front Row etc. Flickr, Getty, iStockPhoto plugins.. magnify images up to 1600%, XMP format supported for exports... "The user can limit color value movement now to certain color areas." that sounds interesting... lol.. looks like us mac geeks have killed that german site.

munky Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 ipod integration? weird! other cool stuff like editing of image metadata when the RAW file is offline. very nice. looks like the event is winding down. stores have remained up, so i guess no new hardware today. update is due to be released this week, and will be free to existing users.

roscoe13 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 ipod integration? weird! The way it's worded here: http://loop.worldofapple.com/archives/2006...-live-coverage/ makes it look like they're just setting it up so you can use your iPod as a huge jump drive to transfer photos between Aperture equipped computers...
