Apple may be set to release a new version of Aperture, its professional photo management application.
According to HardMac the new version will be called Aperture X and should be released at the end of November.
Apple decided to align its name with Mac OS X, and should release this new evolution of its Pro-oriented photo editing application at the end of November and for sure before year's end. We did not receive any additional details about this new version, but it seems that it will be able to benefit from Snow Leopard as well as be more multi-core aware.
Adobe has just announced a beta of Lightroom 3, Aperture's competing product. It will be important for Apple to introduce a version of Aperture that can rival the competition and prevent it from falling behind.
