Suggestions for the improvement of Aperture

The following list is not definited and will be completed by everybody in the forum. It is not to give lessons but to make some wishes to the development team.

- Work to decrease the minimum system requirements, so all PowerPC G4 based configurations could run the application.

- Increase the speed execution of the application itself to make more comfortable working sessions.

- The library : needs some modifiications ! Reorganize the library to make it more readable : not by session because we need an elephant memory.

- Full localization of all menus and windows.

- Create more tools : vignettage correction, distortion correction, dust correction, chromatic aberrations, an historic pannel and a curve.

- Allow the configuration of inspector adjustments, so display only the desired used tools and to have to click on (+) each time.

- Fix the problem with IPTC data management (create a specific application for that).

- Add an option of reactualize the importation in Importation window, to have the possibility to import only the photos added to a folder already present in Aperture. Maybe adding a red border around the photos already present in Aperture.

- Make more frequent updates each time when new camaras are available on the market.

- Create color labels, which allows us to group photos by color.

- Work on improve the localization, to have these data each under the others : Number and street name - Postal code - City - Region and Country.

- Fix the bugs with keyboard shortcuts which work on some configurations and not on others.

- Create new book themes and web galleries.

- Simplify the Print menu.

One more thing... (in my own opinion and which will need a lot of working hours) :

Since Motion development team helped Aperture development team, why don't adapt to Aperture the best of Motion :

- Create a File Browser where we would search our photos (we wouldn't need the Aperture library anymore) :

- Create an effect gallery containing, like in Motion, filters and effects which can be applied on the photos :

- Create an Effect Inspector where we could adjust the filters and effects applied to the photos :
