57. Digital PhotographyProfessional photographers appreciate the fine-grained postproduction control offered by Apple's Aperture (www.apple.com, $299, exclusively for the Mac), which offers direct editing of native RAW formats, advanced project management tools, and nondestructive editing that protects the integrity of the original image. Weekend shutterbugs love how Apple's iPhoto (included in the iLife suite and installed on every new Mac) automatically imports, organizes, enhances, and edits digital pictures; you can also create pro slideshows and order customized hardback books with a few clicks of the mouse. Need touchup brushes and cloning? If you've ever used Adobe Photoshop (www.adobe.com, $649) or Photoshop Elements ($80.00) on a PC, you'll love how much more stable these applications are on a Mac. |
