Now available as an Aperture plug-in. About Noise Ninja for Aperture
The most effective and productive solution for removing noise and grain from digital photographs and scanned film images. Widely used among professional and enthusiast photographers, it is a must-have tool for anyone shooting in low-light or fast-action situations — including news, sports, wedding, and event coverage — where high ISO photography is required and the resulting noise compromises the image.

Noise Ninja often yields a two-stop improvement in effective image quality, while preserving important image detail. In addition, it can produce cleaner, smoother enlargements from low-ISO images. ]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/aperture/hydrahdrpluginforaperture.html Create HDR images without leaving Aperture. About Hydra HDR PlugIn for Aperture
Hydra uses a number of regular photographs (up to ten) with different exposures (darker and lighter) to create a superior one which is much closer to what one’s eye can see. This is because a single photograph cannot represent the full gamut of light because of physical limitations in the sensor. This process is also known as a high dynamic range, or HDR, imaging. See the screencast tutorials for more information on how to acquire such images with your camera.

The output produced by Hydra is much closer to what your eye actually sees. You don’t have to choose whether to have a beautiful sky or buildings, take 2 photos (or more) with perfect parameters for each of them, then combine them with Hydra.

The images that Hydra uses are not required to be taken with a tripod, as it is usually the case with HDR software. Hydra uses the same warping algorithm as Morph Age, which permits the alignment of images with offsets above a few pixels. This is a unique feature that means you can take photos anywhere without a tripod to later blend them in Hydra. This will change your way of making HDRs.

Hydra imports images in RAW, DNG, JPG and most other image formats, and will export them as JPG, TIFF, or OpenEXR (to preserve the fiull dynamics). Hydra proposes 2 different Tone Mapping Operators, Highlight Compression and Local Adaptation.

Hydra comes either as a standalone application or as an Aperture PlugIn, that way you can easily create HDR images without even leaving Aperture.]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/aperture/editautofocus.html Advanced Refocusing within Aperture.

About Edit DeNoise
Reduce Noise for sharper and crispier images Noise is a very important issue in digital photography. Nearly all digital cameras produce images with an easily noticed noise component. This ‘digital noise’ is especially strong in images taken at high ISO rates. Scans of negatives show a similar film grain. When the picture is taken in low-light (indoor/night) or high-speed (sport/action) the noise is even more noticeable and a tool such as AutoDeNoise is needed. The noise and grain reduce the visual quality of digital images and resulting prints.]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/aperture/editfixlens.html Edit FixLens to remove barrel/pincushion/180 spherical distortions. About Edit FixLens
PhotoFixLens Features: Eliminating Wide-Angle Distortion This unwanted bending is called barrel distortion. A wide-angle lens distorts the image by curving straight lines. You can end up with a picture that doesn’t look quite right because the walls of the room are warped like the reflection in a funhouse mirror.

All wide-angle lenses create some amount of barrel distortion, though the effect can vary depending upon the lens. The wider the lens, the more pronounced the effect will usually be. A fisheye lens, in fact, is just a super-wide-angle lens that has the ultimate in barrel distortion.]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/aperture/editgrids.html Correct all kind of Image Distortions.

This is a plugin GUI front-end for Enfuse. Enfuse is what is known as ‘exposure blending’ rather than actual HDR - the software will look at the stacked images that you give it and for each area it automatically chooses from the image that appears to have the best exposed pixels for that area. Enfuse then blends the images of all these bits of different images so that it doesn’t look like a jigsaw.]]> Thu, 18 Dec 2008 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/aperture/apertureborderfx.html An Aperture export plug-in that allows you to add borders and titles to images as you export them.
