Craig Ruaux 0 Posted April 21, 2007 Apple has released an update of Aperture to 1.5.3. This is a free upgrade for all registered users of Aperture. The main benefit is a claimed to be an "increase in performance"... and so far this seems to be the case for me. Running on my MacBook Pro with a total library of 1500 d200 raws it is going really really fast. I've yet to try it with the 50K image main library, but so far things look good. Update is available here, weighing in at a pretty heft 190 MB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe this is because I don't let the machine do automatic updates... anyway, overall I'm pretty happy with the way 1.5.3 is performing. I just timed it displaying 11500 files in the browser from my NAS over gigabit ethernet, and it took 40 seconds to display all the thumbnails. Scrolling is faster and I am yet to see a (shamelessly stolen from Eric ) Edited April 21, 2007 by Craig Ruaux Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogerC 4 Posted April 21, 2007 there are tools to rebuild the database and that can also speed aperture up. I had done a lot of shuffling at first as I was figuring out how I wanted my ratings and projects to work, and a database rebuild sped me up a lot. http://homepage.mac.com/bagelturf/files/6c...2c5675-807.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
