What is #Friday5?
#Friday5 is a weekly giveaway that rewards 5 of our Twitter followers with a free copy of either a Mac or iOS app each and every Friday! Cool huh? But wait, there’s more…. one of the lucky five will also pocket a $20 iTunes voucher! Hurrah!
#Friday5 – Aperture 3
We have hooked up a local retailer to give away 5 copies of Aperture 3 – Apple’s powerful prosumer photo editing software! Aperture would normally cost you a whopping $80, but thanks to a generous donation from a local retailer who had some unneeded extra licenses, we’re giving away 5 copies today absolutely free! Hooray for surplus retail licenses!
To enter the giveaway all you have to do is follow @macdrops (our new giveaways and discount deals Twitter account) and RT the below message on Twitter.
Aperture 3 is this week’s @MacDrops #Friday5 – Apple’s powerful OS X photo management app! http://mctr.st/13LoZaH
About Aperture 3
Apple’s Aperture 3 software serves as a more advanced and capable photo management and editing alternative to their free iPhoto app included on every Mac. It includes advanced image editing and repair options, and tools for professional photographers to optimize, catalog, export, and share images of all types. Here’s how Apple describes it:
Aperture combines the control and speed pros want for demanding photo tasks with the easy learning curve iPhoto users need to step up to an advanced photo tool. It has been fully optimized for the Retina display on the new MacBook Pro, letting you browse and edit high-resolution images with remarkable clarity and resolution. And with a new unified photo library, you can now move seamlessly from iPhoto to Aperture — and back — without having to import, export, or reprocess your photos.
Aperture is packed with innovative adjustment tools to refine your images, including a revolutionary Auto White Balance that uses skin tones to correct color casts, and a professional Auto Enhance that applies Exposure, Vibrancy, Curves, and more with a single click. It also includes powerful Brushes for painting image adjustments onto parts of your photo, and dozens of ready-to-use professional photo Effects.
