One of the major changes is to the Filters menu. A leaner application like this has most features that we will need at a considerably lower cost. GraphicConverter is a first-rate example of why most users do not need high end software for working with photographs (professionals are a different matter). It is easy to add this as external editor in Aperture, or to export images individually.Ī note to Thorsten Lemke received a reply in hours in which he enigmatically wrote, "You can't access an Aperture library, yet."

The application has recently seen a major update and is now at version 7.0.1. I later paid for a licence on that Mac's replacement. Mac users enjoy access to a rich variety of software and while some of the big names (like Microsoft or Adobe) are often cited, I tend to eschew these for a number of reasons, including economy: Why pay top prices when there are applications bundled, or available for download, which will do the job for most of us?Īn application that was bundled with one of my early Macs was Thorsten Lemke's GraphicConverter (one word).
