2004–09October 27, 2007Bill FoxReviews
Apple released Aperture 1.5.6 Update for its digital photography workflow application. It is available via Software Update or as a stand-alone file from this Apple Web page. According to Apple,

Aperture 1.5.6 addresses issues related to performance, improves overall stability, and supports compatibility with Mac OS X v10.5. Other specific issues addressed in this release include:

  • Resolves some minor compatibility issues with iPhoto 7.1, which organizes images by Event rather than Roll.
  • Addresses issues related to metadata and sort order when sharing previews with iLife Media Browser.
  • Improves reliability of queries based on Import Session.
  • Addresses reliability when recovering an Aperture Library from a Vault.

This update is recommended for all Aperture users.

We downloaded and installed the update via Software Update. No issues were encountered. [Bill Fox]
