Apple has just released Aperture 2.1 for picture and image editing. The most sought after feature about this product is that you can easily use third-party imaging software by opening it up in the program (Aperture).

John Stanmeyer, photographer for National Geographic and Time magazine said, “To date, maybe 2% of my photographs needed to be touched up outside Aperture. Now that I can dodge and burn right within Aperture’s new plug-in, I can’t imagine when I’ll have to open any other application to tone my images." Sounds pretty good, eh?

Aperture 2.1 also features saturation, burn, sharpen and contrast, which are part of the "Dodge & Burn" plug-in.

There is already a known bug, which makes some images turn to black. The people behind Aperture are looking into the matter though and you can read about it more in the O'Reilly Forums.

A Davenport, Iowa teenage boy is charged with stealing a fellow female student's iPod and then demanding that she videotape herself naked in order to get the iPod back. The teen's name is not being released, as he is a minor and is being charged as one. The iPod was stolen from the young lady's purse and the next day she found a hand-written note in her purse with the demand.

The same student may have been involved in stealing 2 more iPods, as well. The captain of the Davenport police department, David Struckman, said, “Needless to say, his parents weren’t happy with him.” I wouldn't be either.
