I really hate surfing Apple.com early in the morning. Just hate it when Apple did it again, amazed me !!! Damn !!!


Apple come out with a new software called Apeature. Something like Photoshop or PhaseOne... Or just the Extended superfied version of iPhoto.

Since the first day of the introduciton of Digital Photography, the quality of the prints have never satisfy any of the professional photographers. Untill lately, where all of the Professional on even some Mid-End Digital Camera have the ability to capture pictures in RAW, the uncompressed image captured as what the camera CCD or CMOS 'sees'. Confused already?

In the early state of digital camera, we can only capture and store the images as JEPG. One of the format widely used over the internet or as the storage, for it's small file size and quality. But the quality is crap when comparing to films prints, specialy in Big Prints (size larger 4R).

But thanks to the new Digital Cameras, which have the ability to capture RAW files, and the photographers has given it a name as 'Digital Negatives'. 1 downside, the file size. In my Nikon D70, a single NEF (Nikon version of RAW) cost me 6.1MB. Awwwee.... Big files means slow processing in slow computers like my 2 stolen PowerBooks. Even if you have Dual G5, the speen wont be amazingly fast too....... All that is before the intro of Apeature by Apple Co.

Get a quick tour in Apple.com. And try to make some effort to watch all the demo video clips there too. If you love taking pictures as much as I did, or, If you are a Pro Photographer, this is something you never seen before and sure will be amazed !
